Nursery and Toddler Care

Children 6 weeks through age 4 are welcome during Sunday morning from 8:30-11:30AM.  A qualified, loving, care-giver and an assistant will be there to welcome your child and help you sign-in. The rooms are equipped with HEPA-filter GermGuardian air-purifiiers,

and toys are sanitized after use.

Once a Nursery child turns 5 years old, they can then be "promoted" to RidgeKidz.

RidgeKidz

RIDGEKIDZ  for age 5 - 2nd grade meets on the 2nd thru 5th Sundays of each month, through the school year.

  • A parent is to check in their child before the service in the Kidz Zone. They will stay in the Kidz Zone until after the prayers then be led to the Music Room for RidgeKidz.

  • Children will have video lessons on Bible stories, learn songs, and do a craft, game or science activity each week.

  • Parents are to meet children in the classroom following worship to sign them out.

Note:  There is no RidgeKidz class on the 1st Sunday of the month, so that children may attend 10:30 worship and communion with their family.

The presentation of ADVENTURE BIBLES for kids in grades 3-5, is at the beginning of each school year, at the 10:30 service. Watch for dates! 

Please email hopeoffice@hoperidge.com with your child's name if you would like them to receive a Bible.

After 3rd-5th graders receive their Bibles, they will be invited to the Bible Explorer class which explains how to read and understand the contents and set-up of the Bible. 

Watch for the Bible Explorer class, Fall 2025.

At the beginning of the 10:30 worship service, children are welcome to sit in the supervised KidzZone area. During opening praise songs children will be able to dance, play “instruments”, sing along, or parade through congregation inviting others to join them in joyous celebration and worship. On the first Sunday of the month (Family Worship), a short Children’s Sermon is offered. Children then return to the nursery, head to RidgeKidz or sit with parents for remainder of service.
