At Mercy Road Church our goal is to partner with parents to help every child feel KNOWN, LOVED and SECURE. We believe having a loving relationship with Jesus makes that possible! So whether you already know Jesus or you are skeptical of church and faith, we would love to have the opportunity to encourage you! No strings attached!
Sunday Morning, we have full kids programming at both of our 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM services for birth-5th grade. For students in 6th-8th grade, we offer Faith Talks during the 10:30 AM service.
First Visit for your child?
We welcome kids to visit and participate in our Sunday morning classes! When you arrive on Sunday, please bring your child to the Kids Ministry check-in desk. There you will be warmly greeted and given security stickers, one for your child and one for you to keep. Depending on the age of your children, they’ll either go directly into the nursery/toddler room or head with you to get settled in the Worship Center. We love to have kids witness and participate in our musical worship. Kids will be dismissed after two songs to their classes, accompanied by their leaders. Register your child(ren) below.
You can access your child's video lessons anytime by clicking below. Watching and learning with your child is a great way to spend time together and disciple your kids.

Curriculum
At Mercy Road we believe that every child is made in the image of God and has the potential to do remarkable things. We have partnered with Orange and Parent Cue. We use the First Look and 252 Kids Curriculum. The Orange curriculum combines child development and theology to create a comprehensive children’s ministry strategy. We agree that when we at Mercy Road, partner with parents and caregivers, there is a greater impact. We will equip you with tools like tangible cues to use at strategic times throughout the week to reinforce what was talked about on Sundays. We are committed to helping you do more for your child’s faith by providing resources, guidance, love and community.
Sunday Mornings
FIRST LOOK ROOM (Infants through age 3)
Our nursery provides a safe, loving environment for your littlest ones. We weave creative activities, music, video presentations and small group discussions to reinforce one clear and simple bottom line each week so kids can walk or crawl way and remember what matters most.
WONDER ROOM (Preschool and Kindergarten)
Our preschool leaders want your kids to grow up making wiser choices, building stronger relationships and developing a deeper faith. We use three relational motives in our preschool room… Wonder, Discovery and Passion. Each Sunday, lessons are filled with intentional fun and connection to God’s truth. At Mercy Road Church we believe that prayer is a gift from God to help us have a relationship with Him and we start teaching about prayer in our preschool room. We pray weekly with and for our students.
DISCOVERY ROOM (Elementary 1st-2nd and 3rd-5th grade)
At Mercy Road we want every elementary student to trust in Jesus in a way that transforms how they love God, themselves, and the world around them. This is accomplished through relational ministry. We share the teachings of Jesus in a way that students can understand and apply to their current life situations. We provide small group settings with consistent, caring leaders that know and love your child.
Mercy Road Youth
At Mercy Road church we want to provide a safe space and opportunities for our young people in 6th-12th grade to grow in their relationship with Jesus. We all know that being a teenager in today’s society can be challenging. Our kids today face issues and pressures that simply did not exist when we were growing up. We want to be here to provide a positive, Christ-centered group to help support them in their walk with Jesus. Our goal is to clearly communicate to our teens that they are loveable, capable, and worthwhile, they are loved without strings, and that they are not alone. At Mercy Road Church we believe in the power of the Gospel to both save, and transform lives (Titus 2:11-14)
