Northminster Kids!

Love God. Love People. Spread Joy!

At Northminster, kids are a vital part of our community today! Every Sunday, they laugh, learn, and grow in faith through engaging lessons, fun activities, and a welcoming atmosphere where they experience God’s love firsthand.

Your First Visit

We know that checking out a new church can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to make it easy! When you arrive, our friendly Guest Experience Team will be ready to guide you to our secure Kids Check-In area. We’ll meet your family, check your child into their group, and answer any questions you may have. Our goal is to make you and your child feel right at home from the moment you walk in. We can’t wait to welcome you!

A Safe Place to Grow

A group of young girls and an adult man are sitting around a table, enjoying a science activity or experiment. The girls are smiling and laughing while the man interacts with them. On the table, there is a red tray with cups and spoons, and the background shows a plain room with closed doors.

Volunteers at Northminster Church are trained to create an atmosphere where families can confidently leave their children while they are in service. Every volunteer is screened with a background check and the Northminster Kids! hallway is secure. Don't worry parents - we've got this!

What We Teach

We believe kids should love coming to church! That’s why we use creative, age-appropriate lessons that bring the Bible to life. Through interactive teaching, music, and hands-on activities, we help kids discover who Jesus is and how His love transforms their lives. Whether they’re making a craft, acting out a Bible story, or singing a fun worship song, they’ll leave each Sunday excited to come back for more.

FAQ

Have questions? We’ve got answers!

  • We are located in Cincinnati, Ohio in Finneytown. Our Address is 703 Compton Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45231

  • At Modern Worship (9:00), kids start out in worship. After the first worship set, kids head to the Kids Wing for their programming (Just look for the stampede!). Kids 2 and under can go directly to the nursery at drop-off.

    Traditional Worship at 11:00 can head back to the Kids Wing right at check-in.

  • Check-in begins 15 minutes prior to the service for all children, Birth through 5th grade. Each child receives a name tag with a security code, and parents/guardians receive a matching security sticker. To check-out your child, present your matching sticker to the volunteer in your child’s room. All children must be released to a parent/guardian with the matching code.

  • During registration, you’ll provide a cell phone number for notifications during the service. If needed, Northminster Kids staff will text you. If you receive a notification, please report immediately to the Kids Wing Door.

  • Nothing is required, but if your child has a specific need (diapers, bottle, snack for allergies), please bring it in a labeled bag.

  • Absolutely! While we encourage kids to join our engaging programs, they are always welcome to stay with you in the main service.
