HopeKids Classes — What to Expect During the School Year
Hala TompkinsSeptember 7th, 2026Children's Ministry
Dear Parents,

The HopeKids ministry is happy to be able to provide classes for kids of all ages on Sunday mornings! Classes begin at 10am. Here’s what to expect on Sundays during the school year.

When you arrive, a greeter will escort you to the coffee shop. There you will find the HopeKids kiosk and check in station. One of our friendly volunteers will be glad to get your kids registered and checked in for the morning. Once you are checked in, you and your children will be escorted to their appropriate classes. During the morning, your child will experience fun, age-appropriate Bible lessons from Brite*, age-appropriate worship, and have lots of fun. We look forward to meeting you this Sunday!
