Kids Ministry
A safe, joyful place where children learn that God knows them, loves them, and has a plan for their lives.
About Kids Ministry
Shanah Kids exists to partner with parents in raising the next generation of world-changers. Every Sunday our children step into a bright, secure environment built just for them — where the Bible is taught in a way they genuinely understand, worship is loud and joyful, and every child is known by name.
We take safety seriously. Every volunteer is background-checked and trained, and our secure check-in system means only you can collect your child.
Why Shanah Kids Exists
To partner with parents so that every child at Shanah City Church knows the Bible, knows they are loved by God, and grows up with a faith that is genuinely their own.
“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”Proverbs 22:6

- Preschoolers (3–5) — Bible stories, songs, crafts and lots of movement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have a question that is not answered here? We would genuinely rather you asked than wondered.
How do I check my child in?
Arrive about 10 minutes early and visit the Kids Check-In desk in the lobby. We will take a few details the first time, then print a name tag for your child and a matching collection tag for you. Only the person holding the matching tag can collect your child.
Are your volunteers background-checked?
Yes — every single one. All Shanah Kids volunteers complete a background check and child-safety training before they are ever placed with children, and we always keep at least two adults in every room.
What if my child needs me during the service?
We will find you straight away. Every parent is noted at check-in, and if your child needs you, a member of our team will come and get you personally.
Can I stay with my child the first time?
Absolutely. If it helps your child settle, you are welcome to stay in the room for as long as you need. Many parents do on the first Sunday.
