Heart Kids is a safe, fun, and engaging place where children from birth through 5th grade learn that God made them, God loves them, and Jesus wants to be their friend forever. We run during every weekend service — so while you worship, your kids are cared for by a trained, background‑checked team.
Heart Kids runs at both Valley campuses during every service. Pick yours for service times, the room to head for, and directions.
Our Online campus plays the weekend message only. Heart Kids meets in person — join us at Glendale or Peoria and we'll have a spot ready for your kids.
IN-PERSON ONLYEvery weekend, kids have a room of their own, a team who knows their name, and a lesson made for their age.
From the nursery to 5th grade, every age has its own space, its own team, and lessons made for where they are. The littlest ones are simply loved and kept safe. The older ones dig into real Bible stories, ask real questions, and learn to follow Jesus with friends their age.
Safety comes first, always. Every volunteer is background‑checked and trained, ratios are kept low by age, and check-in and pickup are handled by the team at the door.
A calm, secure space with feeding, diapering, and lots of gentle care from a screened team — so the youngest are loved while you worship.
First Bible stories, songs, and hands‑on play, pitched for the youngest attention spans.
Worship, teaching, and small groups built for grade‑schoolers to wrestle with real questions and take real next steps with Jesus.
You don’t need to be a teacher or have it all figured out. You just need to love kids and show up — we’ll train you and put you with a team.
Serve one service and still make it to one. Most volunteers give about an hour, a couple weekends a month.
Every volunteer is screened and trained before their first weekend.
Check‑in, snacks, small‑group helper, worship, or holding babies in the nursery. Tell us what fits.
When you arrive, stop by Heart Kids check-in — Building 700 at Glendale, or immediately on your left as you come in at Peoria. Use one of the iPads or find a volunteer, and they will get you registered, walk you to the right room, and explain how pickup works. First time? Arrive ten or fifteen minutes early so it is not a rush.
Birth through 5th grade, split into three age bands — Nursery (birth–2), Preschool (age 3–kindergarten), and Elementary (1st–5th grade). Each has its own room, team, and lessons made for that stage. Kids in 6th grade and up belong in Heart Youth.
Safety is our first priority. Every Heart Kids volunteer is background‑checked and trained before they ever serve, and we keep volunteer‑to‑child ratios low by age. Our secure check‑in and pickup system means only you can pick up your child. Rooms are monitored and staffed by a screened team every single weekend.
Age-appropriate Bible teaching centered on one big idea: God made them, God loves them, and Jesus wants to be their friend forever. Our children’s pastor writes the curriculum, and lessons use stories, worship, games and small-group conversation so it sticks.
Just yourselves. For nursery and preschool, label a diaper bag with any bottles, snacks, or comfort items and we'll take care of the rest. There's nothing to buy and nothing to prepare — come as you are, a few minutes early, and we'll walk you through everything.
We want every kid to belong. We have a ministry built for exactly this — Mosaic — for children who need extra support. The best first step is to email us before your visit at heartkids@pureheart.org so we can prepare and welcome your child well.
We'd love to have you. You don't need experience — just a love for kids. Every volunteer is background‑checked and trained, and most serve once or twice a month so you still get to worship too. Email heartkids@pureheart.org or use the Serve With Us section above to get started.
Heart Kids runs during every weekend service at our campuses — check your child in when you arrive and pick them up right after. Specific times, rooms, and check‑in details vary by campus, so use Find Your Campus above to get the details for where you attend.
