Shadow Mountain Kids partners with parents to raise the next generation of disciples who seek, serve, and share Christ. We strive to be a place kids love, parents trust, and leaders are excited to serve: safe and caring, fun enough that kids want to come back, and designed so that the Biblical truth they learn actually sticks through small groups and large-group experiences every weekend.
Safe. Fun. All about Jesus. Every weekend kids worship, learn from the Bible, and connect with caring small group leaders, in ways that fit how each child learns best.

Leaving your little ones can be tough, so we want you to feel completely at ease! In our nursery, your child will enjoy a clean, safe, and nurturing environment designed just for them. Our caring and friendly volunteers provide loving attention as your babies (birth - 3-year olds) dance to music, listen to Bible stories, create fun crafts, and play with other little ones.
We invite you to visit the nursery anytime to see the wonderful experiences we offer! You'll find us on the first floor of the Generations Building next to the Cafe, ready to welcome your family!
We partner with families to build strong spiritual foundations in little hearts and minds. Our prayer is that every preschooler will come to know Jesus as their Maker, Savior, and Friend. Starting at age 4, kids learn big truths from God's Word (who God is, what He's like, how to pray, worship, and share His love) through hands-on crafts, sensory play, and creative storytelling designed just for them.
Elementary kids are curious, eager learners, which makes this a key season for building a faith that lasts. We build on what they learned in nursery and preschool through Bible stories, activities, and real conversations that help them understand who God is and how much He loves them. With caring leaders and friends around them, kids learn to ask questions, talk about what they believe, and grow in a personal relationship with Jesus.
ELEVATE: Special Needs Ministry
Every child is created in God's image and has a place in His family, and in ours. At Shadow Mountain, we believe church should be a place where every family feels welcomed, understood, and supported, including families of children with special needs.
ELEVATE is a class designed just for kids with special needs, where they can learn about Jesus in a safe, caring, and sensory-friendly environment. Our trained, loving volunteers get to know each child personally and adjust activities to fit how your child learns best. Whether your child thrives with extra support, a quieter space, or a little more movement, we want them to experience God's love in a way that makes sense to them.
When and Where
ELEVATE meets every Sunday during the 10:45 am service in the Kids Building.
Your First Visit
We know trusting someone new with your child is a big step. That's why we encourage parents to stay with their child for their first ELEVATE service. You can meet our team, see the room, and share anything that will help your child feel comfortable before deciding to drop them off. We'd love to partner with you and walk alongside your family.
