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.

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-4th 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.
