Kids
A fun place for children (Crawling Babies - 5th Grade) to learn about God’s love & truth each Sunday through creative Bible teaching, active worship music, cool videos, small group discussion, and interactive activities. We want kids to understand and love God’s Word, learn how God's Story is connected to their story, and then share it with others!
Hillside Kid’s Vision:
- To Equip our parents to outlast our influence
- To Disciple our kids and help them to take the next step in their relationship with Jesus
- To Equip, Mobilize, and Empower our volunteers to serve with compassion and excellence.
- To Build a team of leaders who can facilitate an engaging experience in all our kids rooms.

We run background checks on all our volunteers. We offer a security identification and check-in/check-out system. If you need to be contacted during the gathering, you will be promptly notified through text message. For the health of the children, we cannot accept any sick child at check-in. Among our previously stated safety policies, these are our updates HERE.

We believe that parents are the primary spiritual leaders of their children. We are here to come alongside you as parents and help you as you raise your children in their faith in Christ. We strive to provide resources and tools to help you continue the learning at home that your children received at church. We also believe that children learn so much from seeing their parents model serving in their own environment, so we encourage parents to serve in their children’s areas. The Partnering with Parents Serve Team commits to serving in Kids Ministry at least once a month on a consistent basis. If you’re interested in serving, CLICK HERE.

For all children who need assistance because of a developmental or physical challenge, we provide a safe and loving environment. For Elementary-aged students who have special needs, we provide a class just for them called Super Squad. This class is only available at the 11:00 AM Gathering. If you are interested in learning more, email our team at kids@hillsidechurces.com.
Interested in Child Dedication?
This class is designed for parents who want to establish a commitment to raising their child to know Jesus, have a relationship with Him, and invite our church community into this walk with them.
