kids are a big deal at iron works.

"Let the little children come to me, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." That's what Jesus had to say about little ones. It was provocative then; it is provocative today. Children are a handful. Following Jesus' lead, we welcome all in our worship service. Your children may chirp and quack during worship, but we make room for them because they are a part of the church today (and not just part of tomorrow's church). 

One of the key goals of our Children’s Ministry is to come alongside parents to assist in the spiritual formation of their children.

We want to serve you and your children, and we do this in a few ways:

• Our Nursery is primarily for infants and toddlers (up through 4 years old ), and it is staffed throughout the entirety of the worship service by background-checked volunteers. Volunteers will read God-centered stories, sing songs, draw, and engage with them. Feel free to take your little ones to the nursery if they are distracting you and disrupting worship at any time.

• Kids Church is for PreK-3rd graders and occurs during the sermon time in our worship.

Children learn by doing and watching. As we rehearse God's story through our liturgy, they will see their parents crying out to God in song and prayer; they will see their parents confessing their sin; they will see their parents sitting under the word of God; they will see their parents saying "I need you" by partaking of the Lord's Supper. And they will ask questions of what everything means. Feel free to quietly answer those questions during the service.
