WELCOME TO SONS & DAUGHTERS KIDS

At SD Kids, we create a fun, engaging, and safe environment where children—from infants to 5th grade—can grow in their love for God, others, and the world around them. We believe kids learn best through meaningful relationships, creativity, and play, so every gathering is filled with worship, interactive Bible stories, and hands-on activities designed just for them.

Our Heart

More than anything, we want kids to experience the love of Jesus in a way that shapes their lives. Our goal is for every child to feel safe, seen, and valued as they discover who God created them to be.

What We Believe

  • God is a good Father.

  • We are loved.

  • We belong to Him.

  • He has a plan for us.

What to Expect

In our classrooms, children encounter God’s love through:

Worship & Prayer – Engaging their hearts in God’s presence.

Relationships – Building friendships with SD Kids Staff, Volunteers, and Peers.

Hands-On Learning – Sensory-focused games and activities.               

Creative Bible Teaching – Exploring God’s Word in fun, age-appropriate ways.

We utilize Orange Kids, a dynamic and engaging curriculum that helps kids understand God’s big story and how they can be a part of it. Each lesson is designed to connect the church and home, equipping families to grow together in faith.

Come join us as we partner with families to raise a generation that knows, loves, and follows Jesus!

SUNDAYS

Check-In Policy

You will find our check-in area at the entrance of the SD Kids hallway for Littles (ages 0-TK) and the entrance of the Catalyst Center for (K-5th grade) and the Victory Room. If you are a first-time guest at the Stirring, there is a team of people that are present on Sunday to assist with the check-in process. Each child receives a name tag with their classroom, any allergies and family ID number on it. Parents receive a tag with the family ID number on it as well. If needed during the service, the family ID number will appear in the bottom left corner of the screen in the main space. We may also send you a text. At this time, a parent needs to return to their child’s classroom. For safety purposes, parents must present their portion of the tag with the family ID number on it when picking up their child. Children will NOT be released to any adult without a matching family ID number.

Sick Policy

If your child is sick or not feeling well, we ask that you refrain from bringing him/her to the SD Kids church. Out of consideration to our kids, families and volunteers, our guidelines require that children who are ill will not be allowed into nursery or classrooms. This includes any children experiencing one or more of the following symptoms:

  • Fever over 99.8

  • Vomiting

  • Diarrhea

  • Skin rashes or eruptions

  • Coughing associated with a respiratory infection

  • Runny nose which has a yellow or green discharge

  • Pinkeye, which is often accompanied by a yellow/green discharge or thick drainage from the eye

  • Parasites such as nits, lice, mites, or ringworm

  • Drainage, in any form, from the ear

The same policy is enforced with our volunteers. For more information, email our team at SDKids@theStirring.org.

VICTORY ROOM: A PLACE FOR EVERY CHILD

At SD Kids, we believe every child deserves a space where they feel safe, valued, and fully supported in their faith journey. Our Victory Room is a specially designed, sensory-friendly environment tailored for children who thrive with a more personalized, one-on-one approach to kids' church.

Led by a team of compassionate and experienced leaders, the Victory Room provides intentional care, engaging activities, and a nurturing space where children with special needs can encounter God’s love in a way that meets them right where they are.

This space is available during our 9 AM service only.

For more details or questions, please email our team at SDKids@theStirring.org. We’d love to connect with you!
