6pm & 10:00am ~ AC3 Encounter (1st Half)
Saturday/Sunday - Basic Biblical Truths Presented Through the Creative Arts
0-3 Years ~ Your little ones are invited to play in our child friendly nursery during our services. When we have adequate staffing for a 2 & 3 year old class, our childcare providers may even choose to go on a fun and safe 'field trip' to the Mural Room located just inside our Education Center!
4 years-K ~ Our pre-K class offers a variety of age-level and 'hands on' learning activities. If your 3 year old is potty trained, able to participate in structured group activities and we have sufficient staff for the day, your child may be able to join this class on a week by week opening basis.
1st-5th grade ~ Our school age students start in the auditorium with their family and are dismissed to their learning centers after the creative teaching time, approximately 30 mins. into Encounter. Students will participate in interactive learning activities upstairs in the AC3 Education Center. A variety of teaching tools may include the following fun activities: puppets, skits, video clips, crafts, music, games and age-appropriate small group activities.
Elementary students can earn Kreek Kid Bucks, special stickers or other awards when they learn their power verse, the BIG Idea and complete other special challenges each month!
6th-8th grade ~ Junior high students are part of our youth program at AC3. Contact Twila or Brandon for more information about this age group's activities.

Limited and No Staffing
During our Extended teaching time, we may have no staffing available in a certain departments. When no nursery is available, a LIVE feed of the service will be on in the nursery, the Wedge Room, the lobby and coffee shop area. Parents may remain with their child and watch the service in these areas. When no preschool or elementary staff is available, children will remain in the service.
Check-In & Security Program
We care about the safety of children. So every weekend, we have a team of volunteers who help check children "in and out" of our Kreek Kids Program. Our staff enjoy meeting and greeting parents, registering new children and giving out general directions & information. Preview Check-In Sheet and Pick Up Slip (PDF)
Check-In opens approximately 10 minutes before the service starts. For your convenience, you may pre-sign your 1st-5th grader into our Kreek Kids program. Pre-signing your child in will help make it a quicker and easier transition when they are dismissed from the auditorium.
