At ReGen, we make sure that God's little ones have a great place to root and grow.
We have four classes available, and group our ReGen Kids by what we think will best suit their needs and abilities. Kids learn best when the Word is taught at their level.
Children's classrooms are located through the first double doors on the right at the main building entrance.

Additional Info
Mother's Room: For women who need to nurse or feed their baby, diaper them or just have a place to sooth a fussy baby, our mother's room is set up for that purpose. The service is live-streamed on a TV so you won't miss out on a Sunday service. The room is located down the right hallway opposite the sanctuary hallway, before the restrooms.
Safety & Security: When you arrive, our children’s ministry greeter will help you sign in. Our friendly volunteer staff are all trusted members of our fellowship who have been finger printed and who have passed a background check. Please contact us with any further questions regarding our training or screening of volunteers.
If you're visiting and your children need some extra assurance, feel free to go with them and stay in class until they are comfortable.
Please let us know how we can help make church a great experience for your ReGen Kids!
