Partnering with parents to lead kids
into a growing relationship with Jesus.
Kids
Jesus loves kids and so do we! Our goal is to partner with and equip families, and grow together in the knowledge and love of Jesus.
Through age-specific lessons, activities, and small groups, children ages birth-5th grade learn biblical truths and real-life lessons that they can apply to their lives every week. They will experience the love of God through the truth of the gospel, which in turn will lead them to Love God, Love People and Serve Our World.
Kids Church
Sunday morning Kids Church has resumed with additional safety protocols. Through age-specific lessons, engaging activities, and small groups, children learn biblical truths and real-life lessons that they can apply to their lives every week.
Kids Midweek
Kids Midweek is for kids in Grades 1-5 where they have the opportunity to explore God’s word and grow in their relationship with Jesus while having a great time playing games, worshipping God, building friendships, and more!
SHINE
(CHILDREN WITH VARYING ABILITIES)
If you have a child with varying abilities who might need support to participate in our programs and engage with their peers, we’d love to partner with you to make their experience amazing!
Parent/Child Dedication
This is a service where parents publicly commit to raise their child in a Christian home and guide their child towards a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Resources for Families
Faith is an everyday adventure and these resources will train and equip families to be strong in the Lord. As families spend time together in the Word and prayer, they will become healthy families and lights in their community.
Summer Adventure
Don’t miss Black Rock’s summer day camp program in July & August each year for students entering Grade 1-9. It’s a fantastic summer of healthy fun, personal growth, and unforgettable experiences! You’ll have the choice to register for one week or multiple weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take my child into the Worship Center?
Kids are a high priority to Jesus and to us! That is why we encourage you to drop off your kids, birth – Grade 5, to our engaging Kids Ministry, where they can learn about Jesus and have fun with their peers in a safe, age-appropriate environment. If you’d like to worship together as a family we ask that you use our Family Worship Room where families, with kids ages 4 and under, can worship together while watching a live broadcast of what’s happening in the Worship Center. Moms can watch the service while nursing, changing, and caring for their babies in the Mom’s Nursing Room, adjacent to the Family Worship Room. Our hope is for the Worship Center to be a place for adults to focus on hearing the Word of God.
What will my child learn at Black Rock Kids?
The Bible is the most amazing book ever written, and we strive to bring its stories to life through creative activities and discussions that keep kids engaged. We want every child to love God’s Word and understand the value of applying it to their lives. We know they’ll have fun each week as they learn about who God is through games, activities, small groups, and video teaching.
How do I check-in my child at Black Rock Kids?
On your first visit, visit our Kids Welcome Desk and one of our trained volunteers will be happy to help you. To check your child in, we’ll need some information at that time, including a family member’s name, your child’s name and birthday, your address, your phone number, and any special instructions. We’ll be there every step of the way, right up to when you drop your kids off at the appropriate room, so feel free to ask questions!
If you have already registered then use one of our check-in kiosks. Enter your last name or the last four digits of your phone number. Select your child’s name and service time and wait for your child’s tag to be printed. A trained volunteer will assist you if needed. To ensure their security, an adult MUST be present for check-in and check-out and your child will not be released without presentation of your corresponding tag.
How does Black Rock Kids ensure my kid is safe and secure?
At Black Rock Kids, safety is one of our highest priorities. That’s why we have a secure check-in system. Upon check-in, you’ll receive matching identification tags. Your child will need to wear their name tag sticker and you will need to keep the matching tag. After the service, you’ll show the leader your matching tag in order for your child to be released from their room.
Every Black Rock volunteer leader is screened, participates in a background check, and receives appropriate training from our staff. Additionally, our hallways are monitored by background-checked security during each experience to make sure your child stays safe and secure.
I have a child with special needs. Is there anything I should know before I take my kid to Black Rock Kids?
If you have a child with special needs who might need a little extra support to participate, we’d love to partner with you to make their experience amazing! Just let us know by emailing Cindy Kydes at shine@blackrock.org
