MercyGate Kids is a place where children from all walks of life are accepted and loved. We teach them how to Discover God, Make Friends, and Find Purpose. We are a ministry for the kids and for the family. At MercyGate Church, your kids are a big deal! While you’re in service, rest assured that your kids are receiving top-notch, age-appropriate care with a splash of mind-blowing experiences, rooted in the truth of God’s radical grace. Now that’s something worth getting excited about!
We strive to have a safe environment for your children. At every MGK event, you will find a check-in station with serve team members to help. Registration includes issuing a unique code with a sticker to pick up children when service is over. For security purposes, doors to the MGK areas remain locked during service. When service concludes, bring your unique ID sticker to pick up your children.
During each service, the nursery provides an opportunity for our youngest leaders to hear a Bible story, sing songs about God’s love, and play with toys and new friends. It is a great atmosphere for infants and toddlers. The nursery staff are trained caregivers with updated background checks, who enjoy caring for your children.
Preschool age children are ministered to using the most up to date curriculum by great teachers who want to see that group of kids grow into young men and women of God. Activities include crafts followed by multimedia ministry time that kids love…and they get a snack too!
MercyGate Kids is a great place for kids to learn about the Bible and worship in a fun, high energy atmosphere. Your child will enjoy games, songs, fun Bible stories, and lessons that they can apply to their lives. No one ever wants to miss MGK weekends!
Wednesdays at 7:00pm is a time of discipleship for elementary kids. The kids can jump in and ask questions as we study different aspects of the Bible, play games, and participate in hands-on activities. The ability to have a good time is one of the best parts of being a kid! check out our online calendar to find some great events just for MercyGate Kids!
