Sunday mornings
Kids Connection/Connect 56
We believe that families should worship together at one of the Gathering times, which meet in the Life Center. Kids will gather for a time of learning each Sunday morning on the 3rd floor for Kids Connection/Connect 56 at 8:40 or 10am.
Kids Connection (K-4th Grade)
Sunday mornings in the Kid’s Hall located on the 3rd floor of the Education Building. Kid's Connection uses “The Gospel Story for Kids” and "The Gospel Project" curriculums. Kids are taught how the Gospel of Jesus Christ weaves through every story in the Bible. These curriculums are a unique, three-year program that helps churches and families ground children in the Gospel story from Genesis to Revelation. At each age level, kids are taught the Gospel through age-appropriate illustrations, activities, coloring pages, object lessons, and memorization. There are weekly family-friendly devotionals that go along with the curriculum, which is available for you to use at home.
Connect 56 (5th & 6th Grades)
Sundays in the Kid's Hall located on the 3rd floor of the Education Building.
Connect 56 at 8:40am uses “The Gospel Story for Kids” and "The Gospel Project" curriculums. Kids are taught how the Gospel of Jesus Christ weaves through every story in the Bible. These curriculums are a unique, three-year program that helps churches and families ground kids in the Gospel story from Genesis to Revelation. At each age level, kids are taught the Gospel through age-appropriate illustrations, activities, coloring pages, object lessons, and memorization. There are weekly family-friendly devotionals that go along with the curriculum.
Connect 56 at 10am introduces preteens to inductive study, where they are taught how to investigate the Scriptures and discover for themselves what it means, apply it to their lives, and defend their faith to others. We want preteens to study the Bible for God’s truth instead of relying on teachers to tell them what is in the Bible.
Policy & Procedures
We provide a physically and emotionally safe environment for all kids and families. One method is our electronic check-in system used on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. Check-in stations enable parents to quickly and easily check-in kids and give our staff a way to contact parents, if necessary, during the Gatherings. K-6th grade students will need to be checked in and picked up by an approved adult. A guardian receipt will be printed out at the time of check-in, which is required to pick up your child from class.
We also require our leaders to go through a rigorous screening process in order to serve in Highland Kids. If you are interested in being a Highland Kids Leader, please contact Joanie Swingler.
