Teaching our children that we serve a real and living God who loves them and can make a difference in their lives.

Kindergarten - 5th Grade

Cascade Kids exist to make fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ out of irreligious children by teaching them that we serve a real and living God who loves them and can make a difference in their lives.

We also take security very seriously, with regularly background-checked volunteers and rooms equipped with surveillance cameras. Additionally, we have uniformed officers stationed throughout. We desire that you will have peace of mind knowing your child is learning the bible in a fun and safe environment. Best of all! We offer all this at no additional cost to our parents.

Worship Services

As you’re worshiping upstairs, your kids get to enjoy a worship experience imagined just for them. Our kids’ worship room features a stage for dancing, theatrical lighting, and upbeat music honoring Jesus on a kid-friendly level. Also, during this time, your child will hear a special message from the bible tailored just for them from Pastor Keith.

Small Groups & Kids Worship

Depending on the worship service your family attends, your child will get to participate in one of our Small groups or kids worship. Small groups are age-graded bible studies where your child will continue to learn about the love of God. During Kids Worship, your child will be apart of a large group worship time that includes, singing, a fun interactive Bible Lessons, and game time. They won’t want to miss it.

Saturdays – Kids Worship at 5:00 PM

Celebration Place

Celebration Place is a ministry for kids k-5th grade that works alongside Celebrate Recovery. Sometimes the hurts, hang-ups, and habits that children struggle with go unnoticed. That’s why Celebration Place is so important. It’s a place where children ages K-5th grade can discover their own pathway to healing from all sorts of life’s challenges, parent divorce, loss of a loved one, the effects of being bullied, family struggles, parent struggles, the effects of social media, just life’s challenges in general.

“And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.”

Deuteronomy 6:5-7

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the kid’s Bible Study Hour like?

Bible Study Hour is a fully graded Bible study program for boys and girls ages Kindergarten – 5th grade. It is a small group setting where children are taught the virtue of the month, as well as building relationships with children their own age and their adult leaders. These classes have a lot of hands-on activities to help make learning fun.

What is the kid’s worship service like?

We believe children should be taught how to worship God in a group setting. Our worship and game time are designed to do just that. Children are involved in a 30-minute worship service which includes high-energy music, a multimedia presentation, and a Bible lesson. We also believe kids need to have fun! After the worship service the children are taken to the playground, game room, or movie theater.

What about child safety and security?

Your child’s safety is one of our top priorities. We utilize Fellowship One software as a major part of our security system. Children are checked in at the IPad station in our Kidz World Worship Center. Fellowship One prints a nametag for your child to wear during service(s). The nametag has a unique code printed on it which prints on a separate pick-up slip for parents as well. These codes change weekly and the pick-up slip has no identifying information as a preventative measure.

We have security cameras in all of our common areas as well as in our Bible Study rooms. We monitor all activities during our services in an additional effort to keep your child safe while they are in our care.

Volunteer Opportunities

We believe there is nothing more important than God’s work, even more so when it comes to our kids. So consider contributing to a cause that matters. God’s not looking for perfection; He’s looking for your heart. If you have a heart of gratitude for all that God has done for you and you want to serve him and express that gratitude, we want to give you the opportunity.

Cascade Kids has a host of serving opportunities available for our weekend services. With positions open on our Setup Team, Food Team, Worship Team, Production Team, etc… Click the button below to create an account and signup for your desired position.
