Children’s Ministry
Stonybrook Kids, is the Children's Ministry of Stonybrook Church for ages 6 weeks-grade 3. We are the starting point for the youngest family members to begin building a foundation of faith as they learn to love like Jesus. We base this foundation on three main principles: God made us, God loves us and God wants to be our friend forever.

Stonybrook Kids Worship @ 9:30am and 11:00am
Infants & Toddlers: Volunteers and staff will love to hold and play with your infants. We will change your infant’s diaper or feed them a bottle if you leave a labeled diaper bag. Toddlers enjoy a play area filled with toys that spark imagination. There will be a large group lesson which includes age appropriate story-time.
Preschool, ages 3-5: Young disciples have some play time followed by an interactive video story and activities that reinforce the focus of the lesson.
Kindergarten - Grade 3: Elementary children have a chance to worship and listen to a story together and then break up by grade into two teams to participate in activities and discussion.
Check-in Steps
Convenient entrance to the Children’s Ministry area is located in the church’s rear parking lot. Simply enter through the doors under the green awning and walk right into the Children’s Ministry area. Here you will be greeted by our volunteers/staff, and we can assist you with registering your child. After registration, we’ll show you to your classroom and introduce you to the teachers.
