Children worship together, learn who God is, and understand salvation through Jesus Christ by participating in art activities, games, and lesson discussion – all in a fun and inviting way!
Welcome to Summit Kids!
We are so happy to have you worship with us. Summit Kids is a place where kids ages 3-5th grade are learning about God through discovery, hands on experiences, building relationships, and creating a change of heart – not just retaining Biblical knowledge. We offer childcare during our Saturday service at 5:30pm and our Sunday services at 9:00am and 10:30am.
Summit Kids are encouraged to:
Love God (Matthew 22:37): Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
Love Others (Matthew 22:39): And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself
Share It (Matthew 28:19-20): Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Your child’s safety is one of our top priorities! We ensure that every volunteer has completed Safe Gatherings training which includes a background and reference checks. We will give your child a name tag that correlates to your guardian receipt. Summit Kids goes to great lengths to ensure that each classroom environment is a safe and enjoyable place for your child to experience the love of Christ.
Dedication and Baptism
Infant Dedication is when a family dedicates their child to God and the infant is welcomed into the church family. Baptism is when a child makes the decision for themselves that they believe Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior. Every year, Summit Church does a river baptism for all who are interested. This event is typically in August, and we will be posting more information about it on our website this summer. For more information or to sign up for an infant dedication or baptism please click below.
