Gateway Kids: Helping Children Meet Jesus at Their Level

At Gateway, we believe that children can know and follow Jesus in meaningful ways—right now, at their level. That’s why Gateway Kids is designed with age-specific environments that introduce kids to the Gospel and help them grow in their faith in safe, engaging, and joy-filled ways.

CENTRAL PARK PRESCHOOL (Birth – Age 4)

A loving, secure environment where our youngest children are introduced to Jesus through simple truths, songs, stories, and hands-on activities that nurture their understanding of God’s love.

THE BIG ROOM (Kindergarten – 5th Grade)

A high-energy, Christ-centered space where elementary kids explore the Bible, worship together, and build lasting friendships—all while learning what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life.

Safe, Secure, and Structured

Your child's safety is one of our highest priorities. Here’s how we protect and care for every child:

• Every volunteer is interviewed, background checked, and trained before serving.

• Every child is checked in with a unique security tag system—only the adult with the matching tag can check them out.

• Every hallway is monitored during the service for ongoing safety and security.

• If you're needed during the service, we’ll discreetly display your child’s ID number and last name on the screen in the main auditorium.

The Family Room

The Family Room offers a relaxed environment for parents to worship and engage with the service while caring for active children. It features comfortable seating, toys, age-appropriate activities, and a live video feed of the service.

Gospel-Centered, Age-Appropriate Curriculum

Gateway Kids partners with the Orange Curriculum to combine the church and the home in shaping faith.

• 252 Basics: A dynamic curriculum for elementary-aged kids that emphasizes character, wisdom, and discipleship.

• First Look: A nurturing curriculum for preschoolers that helps them discover God made them, loves them, and wants to be their friend forever.
