experience in Forest Park Kids!
Sundays - Kid City
Our children's area (better known as Kid City) is a place where all kids learn about God and the Bible as we worship, play, create, and have fun together! FP Kids takes place during both Sunday gatherings and is for kids from birth - 6th grade.
Story Time
Children 2 years old through Preschool (and a grown-up + siblings) are invited to join us for our June Storytime! We will read a story together, create a craft, and eat a tasty snack.
There are two identical storytimes to choose from, but space is limited so you must register to attend.

You will receive a security tag that must be used when you return to pick up your child. This ensures that only you and other people you have authorized have permission to take your child from our care.
