Children’s Ministry at Ascension

At Church of the Ascension our kids (infant through 5th grade) experience safe, age-appropriate environments where they learn about Jesus in a creative and relevant way.

We would love to see you and your family join us.

Your first visit

Here’s what to expect when visiting Ascension for the first time:

First, find the check in desk – it will be located near the classrooms just beyond the fountains, opposite the sanctuary entrance. There we will meet your family, check your child into our system, and then you and one of our volunteers will lead your child to their age-appropriate room.

Upon checking in for the first time, we will ask for the following personal information (NOTE: We value your privacy and will not share this information with anyone):

• Parent/guardian name(s)
• Child’s name
• Child’s birthdate
• Home address
• Phone number
• Any special instructions (allergies, special needs) for your children

What will my child experience?

At Ascension, our dedicated adult and youth volunteers serve monthly to build strong bonds with our children and genuinely desire to see them grow in faith. Many of them are parents and grandparents within our parish, and all volunteers go through a rigorous background check and child safety training.

We study the Bible at an age-appropriate level while following the lectionary so children hear the same scriptures as the adults in service. Sunday programming is a fun and safe environment where children see friends, learn about Jesus, and participate in games and activities to reinforce the lesson.

Children are picked up and brought to service so they may celebrate Communion with their families. Children often have a take-home page or a craft and are excited to share what they’ve learned!

Cry Room

Our campus offers childcare during service for infants. But we also have a Parent’s Viewing Room that is available at our campus for mothers and fathers with infants. This room is reserved exclusively for parents with infants to enjoy the service in a more private and quiet environment.
