FirstNaz Kids
Kids are not only one of the vital areas of ministry at FirstNaz, but they are the Church! How they are formed now will determine the perception of the gospel for years to come. We are committed to intentional discipleship for your child.
Here’s What To Expect
Every Sunday morning we provide a safe environment for kids from birth through sixth grade where they can learn about Jesus and connect with each other.
We believe the Bible should never be boring and that church should be the place your kids want to be! They will meet new friends as they learn about God's Word, how to respond to God through talking with Him, and how God's Word fits into their lives. We seek to partner with families to help kids know, worship, and serve Jesus!
In all Children’s areas, your child will interact with staff and volunteers who have been screened and have completed extensive MinistrySafe training.
Small groups and Bible Quizzing begin at 9:00 am &
Children's Church begins at 10:45 am.

Child Dedication
Child dedication is a meaningful commitment where parents publicly express their desire to raise their child in a Christ-centered home, guiding them in faith, love, and truth. This special moment is not a means of salvation for the child, but rather a declaration by parents to seek God's wisdom, strength, and blessing as they nurture their little one in the ways of the Lord.
During a child dedication service, parents commit to leading their child by example, teaching them about Jesus, and helping them grow in their relationship with God. As a church family, we come alongside parents in prayer and support, celebrating the journey of faith together.
If you’re interested in dedicating your child at FirstNaz, we invite you to learn more about this beautiful step of faith and commitment. Contact us to find out about upcoming dedication services and how we can partner with you in raising the next generation to love and follow Christ.
Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? No worries! We tried to think of some things you may want to know as a parent!
What are service times?
Sundays: 9 AM + 10:45 AM (Doors open 15 minutes prior to each service)
Wednesdays: 6:45 PM
How do I check my child in?
Great question! We use Planning Center to check your child in a secure manner. Following checking in, you and your child will receive a sticker that you will show the volunteer at the check-in desk following the service you attend. Your child will not be released to anyone who doesn’t have a corresponding sticker.
You are able to self-checkin when you walk in the door, or if you’re a first-time guest, you’ll be helped by one of our trained, friendly volunteers.
We want to ensure that your child is safe when they are at FirstNaz Kids, so we appreciate your cooperation in advance.
How do I know my child is safe?
Your child’s safety is our number one priority. All of our volunteers are extensively trained with MinistrySafe and are background checked. Rooms will be staffed with the proper ratio of staff to children. Your child will not be left alone. Nobody will be allowed to enter the classrooms or chapel if they are not background checked.
In addition, we have a trained member of our safety team in the kids hall who is trained to handle all emergencies.
What if my child has allergies?
We’ve got you covered. We are peanut free and offer a variety of gluten-free and non-dairy options if a snack is provided. We will also check with you when your child is checked into FirstNaz Kids.
What class will my child participate in?
Your child’s class will be determined by age. The ages are listed below:
- Infant/Nursery: Birth - 18 Months
- Toddler: 18 Months (steady walker) - 3 Years
- Preschool: 4 years old (potty trained) - 5 years old
- Kindergarten - 6th Grade
Are both services the same?
No. Our 9:00 hour is set aside for small groups. This is a time where your child can dive even deeper into the week’s content with a small group leader and age-specific group. The 10:45 hour is a worship experience designed for kindergarten through 6th grade. They will engaged in an interactive Bible lesson and hands-on activities.
Should I bring supplies for my child?
Your child is welcome as they are. All of our classrooms have toys and activities that are age-appropriate. We just ask if you have an infant or toddler that you bring a diaper bag and supplies they would need.
