A10 KIDS MINISTRY

We know how important it is to raise kids in an environment that supports and encourages the development of their faith. That’s why we have kid-friendly programming that teaches them biblical concepts in an age-appropriate way.

A10 Kids is specifically designed for children from birth through elementary school and takes place on Sunday mornings during adult worship services.

Infants through Elementary aged kids enjoy age-appropriate learning opportunities at 2810: a community gathering place, just a few doors down from The Byrd. 

Each class in A10 Kids is developmentally driven and includes: a teaching time, music, games and crafts to help kids explore and experience Jesus in an environment that is safe, fun and biblical.

Our trained (and screened) team members reflect the love of God by providing great care for kids while their parents learn in The Byrd Theatre.

first time Visiting?

Visiting anywhere for the first time can be stressful, we get it. So to help make sure that your first time checking in your little ones goes as smooth as possible, we’ve created a video to show you just how easy check-in can be — CLICK HERE TO WATCH.

We can’t wait to meet you and your kids on an upcoming Sunday. If you still have any questions after the video, feel free to message our A10 Kids Director at aly@area10church.com.

At A10 Kids, it's our goal to provide environments where kids can encounter God and families are encouraged and equipped in leading their children in a growing relationship with Jesus. We see our role as coming alongside the family as they lead their families in spiritual ways. As we partner together through weekly programs, special events and resources we value the trust you place in us. Through our weekly program on Sunday mornings, we support children as they experience, explore and engage their faith.

Learn about god: 

Every Sunday morning our elementary kids meet together for upbeat, active music that allows them to understand and express their love for God as well as a large group lesson that is both engaging and entertaining! For our preschoolers and nursery kids, their morning is filled with music and “God-talk” (language that reinforces simple trust and faith concepts).

find new friends: 

Kids will explore the Bible through fun activities while building relationships with leaders and friends, and learning to apply spiritual truth to their lives during small group time. These activities are designed for the various developmental levels, learning styles, and different needs of all kids.

Make a difference: 

Walking together in faith every day is primarily the family’s role. However, we see it as our honor to provide you with resources and encouragement in this task. As your family begins to serve others outside your home, please consider one of our church-wide, family-friendly projects.
