Vineyard Kids

"There is no junior Holy Spirit!"

Lauren Caldwell

Welcome to Vineyard Kids Gilbert! We are so glad to have you! Here in Vineyard Kids we love to encounter Jesus and make Him known! We believe there is no such thing as a junior Holy Spirit. It is awesome when kids can encounter Jesus for themselves and discover all that He has for them. We hope your children can join us!

Children's Ministry During the Pandemic

At this time, we do not have in-person children's ministry. We recognize that it is very challenging to have children social distance and follow the recommended guidelines regarding COVID under our circumstances. We simply do not have the proper space to have our Vineyard Kids in their classrooms while keeping a 6 foot distance. For the health and safety of your kids and families, we have chosen to continue to postpone in-person kids services. But don't let this stop you from joining us! Here is what you can expect with bringing your young kids to our Sunday morning services:

Busy Bags

In the lobby we have a table with busy bags for each child! Each is filled with a coloring page, crayons, their very own sermon notes and a busy activity (wiki sticks, legos, etc).

Kids in the service

Your kids, 5th grade and younger will join you for the service. We do not expect your kids to be still and silent! We understand it is totally normal for kids to move around a bit and make a little noise. It won't bug us one bit!

Shorter Services

Our goal is to keep our Sunday services around 1 hour - we know long stretches of time can be tough for your little ones!

Need to step out?

If you do need to step out with your child, you can do so in one of our 3 children's rooms available for parents! Although these rooms are not staffed with volunteers, each room is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized as usual for you to step out with your kiddos.

We have our mother's room to the left of the sanctuary with rocking chairs and seating for parent's with toddlers or younger. Our nursery and PreK-Kinder room in our kids hallway are also open and available with the livestream playing for your connivence.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Children's Pastor Jessica Gentes.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Check-in

Children, ages Birth – 5th grade will check in at our computers before going to their class. Your child's safety is very important to us. Whether you use our first time guest hand written tag, or check in through our computers, you, as the parent, will also have a tag to hold on to. You will present this to the teacher at pick up. Our kids check in computers are located in our main lobby next to our coffee bar. If this is your first Sunday with us, you can use our rectangle hand written check in tags. One section of this tag will stay with you, as the parent for pick up. If you are joining us more regularly, you can fill out an information card and turn it into the connect center desk in the lobby. This will allow us to put you and your child's information in our database system. Once this is done, you can use the computers to check in and print your child's tag. A name tag will print along with a second tag including all your kids’ names. This is the tag you will keep and use for pick up. You must show your tag at pick up.

Birth-Kindergarten

Our nursery is for children, birth – 24 months. We keep a calm and safe atmosphere for your babies in our nursery. You can leave diaper bags and any special instructions for our nursery volunteers to know. With at least two adults present in nursery at all times, we will ensure your little one has a fresh diaper before picked up. We have a short, one time form for you to fill out that will give us approval to change your Childs diaper if needed.

Our 2’s & 3’s class and 4’s & 5’s class is fun and engaging space for your toddlers and PreK-Kinder kiddos to learn and discover Jesus and all that He has for them! We have 2 separate classes for toddlers & PreK-Kinder, but they do come together for worship and a game! In small groups they will have snack, a craft and Bible lesson.

Elementary

We believe there is no such thing as a Jr. Holy Spirit! Our 1st – 5th grade room is full of games, small group discussion and discovery and large group teachings! We think it is important to make space for the Holy Spirit and follow where He is moving. We encourage our Vineyard Kids to become aware of His presence and press into what the Spirit is doing.
