Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them. For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”

At Harvest, we are committed to raising our children in our mission statement of the church: "Seeking the heart of Jesus; serving the hearts of people in his name!" 

Our children are precious to us and we will do everything we can to teach them the ways of the Lord and to increase their love, wisdom, and knowledge of Jesus. Our prayer is that our children experience the love of God so powerfully that they will be passionate disciples of Jesus as they grow up! During our worship service, we offer Kids Church for children (K4 up - 5th grade) where (if the parents choose), they will be dismissed for about 30 minutes of Bible teaching, crafts, prayers, etc. during the sermon. They will return to us at the Passing of the Peace to celebrate Holy Communion. We also aim to get children involved in worship sometimes as well!

At Harvest, what's really important to us is that we show children the love of God so that they can learn how to worship and serve the Lord from the youngest of ages. Children are always invited to worship with us! We love the little children because Jesus does! We do ask parents to be mindful of other worshipers if children are wiggly and fussy, especially during the sermon. If that happens, we invite parents to utilize The Fellowship Hall upstairs where the refreshments are usually served, OR the “cry room/nursery” which is downstairs in the hallway.

Audio AND video are piped into these rooms from the service so that parents can continue to participate while children play more freely. We also have a trained, friendly volunteer or staff person who can watch your child if you like in the nursery. Lastly, we have activity bags if your kids need them in The Main Entrance Lobby.

  • All of our pre-K and elementary children and parents need to be checked in and given a security label. The check in is at the front entrance of the building as you come in. Check-in takes just a few minutes, but you can pre-register your kids HERE if you’d like to save time on Sunday morning!  

  • All of our children’s ministry staff are background checked and trained in our Child Protection Policy.
