Welcome to South Haven Kids!

At South Haven, we have a passion to see children follow Jesus every day. Our team exists to lead children to Christ so they will come to know, love and serve Jesus.

First Visit

Look for the area designated for the first-time families. A South Haven Kid’s volunteer will meet your family, check your child into our system, and will lead you to your child’s classroom. Feel free at any time to ask questions.

During the process, we will ask for the following personal information: family names, children names and birthdates, contact information, and any special instructions (allergies, special needs, etc.) for your child.

What We Value

Creative Bible Teaching is at the top of our list of values. God’s Word, the Bible, is His inspired words for people. In this kids learn that God loves them, He has a purpose for them and He sent Jesus!

Safety is emphasized for your child’s safety. Every child’s name tag is matched to a guardian’s identification number, all leaders are screened with an interview and Federal background checks, and the halls are monitored by security personnel.

Fun is what kids love! When kids have fun at church, they can’t wait to come to church. We strive to design fun, creative ways to learn about Jesus.

Cleanliness is important to us and we desire our facilities to represent this. Our preschool rooms are all disinfected, doorknobs wiped, and toys cleaned.

How Does Check-In Work?

Please check your child into any available kiosks. After finding your child’s name and checking them in, two identification tags will be printed off. Place the one tag on your child’s back and the other you will keep for child pickup. After service, please return to your child’s classroom, present your identification tag to a leader, and your child will be returned to you based on pairing the two tags.

In the event of an emergency, our database is set up to text a child’s guardian. Please keep your phone on vibrate and near you in service. We will also send a leader in search of you.

Babies – Kindergarten

Babies through Pre-K in our care are provided with a clean, safe environment where the love of God will be shared with them. Our serve team members provide care for little ones. Every child in our preschool environments is introduced to the gospel through storytelling, play, Bible activities and music. Children who are ages two to five participate in an engaging worship experience which communicates the gospel in a way they can understand.

1^st-6^th grade

Our elementary ministry is designed to introduce our 1^st through 6^th grade students to the love of Christ and to provide opportunities for them to grow in their faith. On Sunday mornings, we help children engage with the gospel through our learning format that combines biblical truth with everyday application, music and activities.
