Every Sunday, Babies through fifth-grade kids engage in safe, age-appropriate environments where the Bible is taught and where caring Team Members serve.

Ministry Values

KNOWN: Created in God’s Image

BELONG: Adopted into God’s Family

GROW: Becoming more like Jesus

SENT: Reflecting Jesus to the World

Check in & Pick Up

Springvale kids check-in begins at 9:45 AM in our lower level. To serve your child well, you will be asked to complete a registration form so we are aware of any special details about your child. This information is stored in a secure database and is never shared. Once checked in, you and your child will both get a sticker with a matching code, the sticker you keep will be used to match during pick-up or if you’re needed during the services. Kids will only be released to the adult with their matching sticker.

Safety

All volunteer Team Members in Springvale Kids go through the multi-step Safe Church Screening Process and must abide by Springvale’s internal safety policies regarding interactions with children.

Curriculum

We use The Gospel Project, a Christ-centred, chronological Bible Study curriculum for kids.

Our Traditions

Every Sunday, we celebrate when our kids demonstrate age-appropriate Christian Habits. We begin to practice Traditions in our Pre-K room, all the way to our oldest Grade 5s.

1. 1. Community – Attending on Sunday
   2. God’s Word – Bringing their Bible
   3. God’s Word – Saying the Memory Verse to a Team Member
   4. God’s Word – Answering the Big Question to a Team Member
   5. Generosity – Giving Tithe
   6. Mission – Bringing a Friend

How it works:

Each Sunday your child will put one ping-pong ball in our special containers for each Tradition they are able to do.  We will have a goal for the year.  If our kids reach their goal (all together), we will have a celebration. Your kids need your help to be successful with Traditions.  At home is where they will learn the value of their Bible, scripture memory, and tithing…they need regular and consistent teaching and modelling.

Family Discipleship

At Springvale Kids, we value and encourage family discipleship. Each Monday, we send an email about Sunday’s lesson. We honour you as the primary disciplers of their children and encourage you to use those emails as conversation starters during the week. We are here to equip you with the tools to teach your children to know, follow, and trust Jesus through programs, training, events and celebrating key milestones in your child’s life and faith journey.

Milestones

As part of our NextGen strategy, we will celebrate nine milestones between birth and high school graduation. Some of these happen between birth and fifth grade. Learn about our Milestones HERE.

Serving

Whether it be working directly with the kids, volunteering with special events, or even serving as a toy cleaning ninja or as part of our prayer team, there is something for everyone at Springvale Kids. Email us to learn more.
