The Best Hour
of Your Child's Week!
Welcome to UpStreet
Every Sunday your kid gets to worship, dig into a Bible story that actually sticks, and hang with friends and leaders who really know them. A place that's just theirs, every Sunday during both services, Kindergarten through 5th grade kick things off in a high-energy large group with singing and teaching straight from the Bible. Then they head into small groups with caring leaders and kids their own age, where the lesson gets personal and friendships grow.
Preparing kids for the road ahead
Elementary is where faith starts to become their own. UpStreet gives your kid a foundation of who God is and how much He loves them, with fun and friendships that make them actually want to come back next week.
What they learn each week
Three things we want them to know. Our weekly environment is built to help Kindergarten through 5th grade walk away believing these three truths.
God loves me.
I can trust God no matter what.
I should love others the way Jesus loves me.
What To Expect On Sundays!
