Welcome to Vineyard Kids!
We love our kids here at Vineyard. Our goal is to provide a fun and safe environment for our kids to engage with one another, our paid staff and our incredible volunteers. Every week our kids have an opportunity to learn about the Bible in the presence of the Holy Spirit. We want our children to learn to hear and respond to the Holy Spirit just like the adults, to develop their own relationship with Jesus, and to worship Him with their whole hearts.
They also play together and interact through games and free play. We have found that younger children respond well to seeing the same caregiver week after week, so each of our younger classrooms are staffed with the same paid caregivers each week and some classes rotate parent volunteers alongside our paid caregivers. We do our best to create a safe and loving atmosphere for your child!

Safety & Security
Our electronic check-in system helps to ensure the safety of our children. Parents are required to check their children in and out of their age appropriate classes under the supervision of our Children's Ministry Staff Administrator. Because safety is our highest priority, background checks are performed on every one of our staff members and volunteers. We also require membership, attendance at the Vineyard for at least one year, and a relationship with one of our staff pastors in order to volunteer in Children’s Ministry. We also have security cameras placed throughout the children’s ministry wing. Our classrooms, hallways, and playgrounds are monitored and employ a police officer during our Sunday morning service.
