Our Mission

Northcliffe Kids exists to help children to love God personally, live their lives purposefully, and serve others passionately, especially their parents, siblings, and peers. Every Sunday, children ages Nursery – 5th Grade experience age-appropriate, safe environments where the Bible is taught in a relevant way!

VBS 2026

June 15-19, 2026, 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Registration opens in May!

You’re invited to Illumination Station VBS — the brightest week of the year! While many people have heard about Jesus, not everyone truly understands who He is. At Illumination Station, kids will discover how Jesus is the Light of the World as they explore how light brightens, illuminates, reflects, and reveals. It’s going to be a powerful, high-energy week filled with truth, fun, and Gospel impact — and we can’t wait to shine His light together!

First time at Northcliffe Kids?

On your first Sunday, meet a friendly volunteer in the Preschool Center (C Building) or Elementary Center (G Building) to get checked in. This will take a few minutes, so you can come a bit earlier to get them all settled. You can check in children for both age groups at either check-in location.
 
Each Sunday you and your child will be given matching identification tags that are exclusive to your family and visit. Your child’s tag is to be worn on his or her back. The tag has a code that matches the code on the parent’s tag — this ensures that the right child goes to the right parent at the end of the service. 

After getting registered, we’ll walk with you to drop off your child and introduce you to the volunteer in his/her room! ALL Kids Volunteers are background checked and trained to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your child! After the service, please return to your child’s classroom and present your parent tag to the teacher. The teacher will match your tag and your child’s tag and release them to you.
 
If you lose your tag, simply head to the front desk in the Preschool Center to receive another one. If for any reason we need you during the service, we will text you directly.

Sunday Volunteer Registration Is Open!
