Northwoods Kidz

Northwoods Kidz is the children's ministry of Northwoods Church. It's an uplifting and Christ-centered place for families to partner with the church to engage them with the gospel and show children what it means to follow Jesus.

Each year, the children learn Luke 2:52 during the first week of August. This verse describes what Jesus was like as a child. At Northwoods Kidz, we want to help children grow in the same way Jesus did:

-In Wisdom

-In Faith (favor with God)

-In Friendship (favor with man)

We think everyone experiences spiritual growth best in community. We grow from a number of different experiences in life, but following Jesus is something we do together in Northwoods Kidz LIFE Groups and Kidz Church! We have fun, safe and secure classes for Babies through 5th Grade led by caring adult teachers and helpers, and your Kidz are welcome!

Sundays

Check-In

How do I check my child in? First, thank you for joining us! Kidz in Nursery - 5th Grade will be checked in at the Kidz Desk which is right inside the double doors at the playground entrance. Our greeters will welcome you and gather some important information. You will receive a set of printed stickers with a matching code. Place the child’s name sticker on his or her back (or wherever they are comfortable with it on), and keep the guardian receipt sticker in a safe place so that you can show it to your child’s teacher at pick-up. We’ll then take you to your child’s classroom. At pick-up, our leaders will match the code from both stickers. This completes the check-out process and you can see what your child learned today!

  • If a guardian tag is misplaced, we will ask you to complete a short “Lost Guardian Receipt” form with your ID information so that we can safely release your child.

  • In the event that your child needs you at any time, we will contact you at the number you provided at check-in. Leaders will be equipped with the emergency information of all children under their care. We ask that parents keep their phones on vibrate while in class or service in case they are needed.
