Ridgecrest KIDS is the place for all students Kindergarten - 5th Grade. We are unashamedly safe as we seek to provide the best opportunities for boys and girls to CONNECT to God, to one another, and to our neighbors.
SAFETY & SECURITY
Our top priority is to provide a safe and secure place for our kids. There are several safety protocols that we have put in place:
All volunteers are screened, complete a background check, and have been through child safety training.
We utilize a computer check-in system for all kids which prints matching badges for the child and parent.
SUNDAY MORNING CONNECT OPPORTUNITIES
Kids’ Connect & Kids’ Worship are our Sunday morning gatherings for kids. Kids’ Connect meets at 9:15 and is small group time for kids. Connect Groups consist of two grades. Kids’ Worship meets at 10:30 and is for all kids kindergarten through 5th grade. We use Lifeway’s Gospel Project material for both gathering times.
AWANA
AWANA is our Wednesday Night Connect Opportunity for kids. AWANA meets from 6:30 - 8:00 during the traditional Durham Public School Year. The goal of AWANA is to help kids grow in their knowledge of God and His Word through Bible Memorization, Bible Study, Games, and lots of fun.
SUMMER CAMP
One of the highlights of our Summer is going to a 5-day, 4-night Kids Camp! Camp is a great opportunity for kids to get out of their comfort zone, meet new people, have a tone of fun, all while learning more about Jesus and growing in their faith. For more information about this year’s camp email Joe Yandle.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
Every summer we enjoy transforming our church facilities into a themed environment for VBS. We enlist the services of almost 100 adult and youth volunteers in order to provide the best VBS experience for the kids in our community. VBS meets Monday through Friday morning 9-12.
