No one has more influence on your child than you. We are here to partner with you as you raise your child to know what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus. At Shoreline, we are committed to showing the next generation that they are loved by Jesus! Shoreline Kids has children’s programming for infants through 5th grade. We offer children’s programming during our 9:30 & 11 AM Sunday gatherings.
Nursery
From infants to crawlers to walkers, you can be sure that your children are in good hands. In the nursery, babies and toddlers are developing their first impressions of who God is and what church is all about. Our children’s ministry volunteers are more than babysitters - they want to get to know you and your child as we seek to provide a nurturing environment while you worship. While you are attending one of our worship gatherings, you can know that your children are taken care of.
Little Cove
While you worship on Sundays, your kids 3 years old through Kindergarten will experience worship in their very own way. Little Cove uses energetic worship music, bible stories, videos, and games to reinforce biblical truths the preschoolers and kindergartners are learning in their classes. After this worship experience, preschoolers are grouped by age for a learning time under the direction of experienced and loving teachers. We use many teaching methods with preschoolers to lay a biblical foundation for faith. These teaching methods include: art, books, blocks, puzzles, nature, and home-living activities.
The Dock
The Dock is all about faith, fun, and friends! It is a high-energy experience created specifically for elementary aged kids. Each Sunday morning, a new truth from the Bible is shared in as many ways as possible. At The Dock, kids experience true worship through singing, drama, video, storytelling, scripture, giving, and games. In conjunction with the The Dock, children in grades 1-5 will join their peers as they learn more about God through age-relevant Bible study, Scripture memorization, games and other fun activities! There are many age-specific groups available, all staffed by trained, caring leaders. Groups will be available as part of both hours of programming on Sunday morning.
Prayer Camp
March 30 - May 25, our Shoreline Kids ministry is taking a deep dive into the heart of prayer—learning to pray as Jesus taught. Our hope is that, like the disciples, our children would echo the plea: Lord, teach us to PRAY.
During Prayer Camp, we will be exploring how prayer is more than words—it’s a way of living in relationship with God. Using the P.R.A.Y. framework and the Lord’s Prayer, we’ll learn to Pause, Rejoice, Ask, and Yield, discovering how Jesus’ prayer helps us see God, ourselves, and the world through the reality of His kingdom.

Sunday Fundays
The first Sunday of every month, we have THEMED Sundays that connect to what we’re learning in Shoreline Kids!
June 1: We’re kicking off Superhero Summer in Shoreline Kids! Wear a cape or come dressed as your favorite superhero.
July 13: Superhero Ice Cream Sundae Sunday in Shoreline Kids. Popsicles will be available as an alternative for those with allergies!
Family Dedication
Family Dedication is more than an event. It is an opportunity for you to take the right first steps at the beginning of your journey as a parent to really think about what will matter the most in the life of your child. To participate in family dedication, you'll need to attend our “First Steps” meeting the Sunday before. Our next Family Dedication opportunity is June 8 with a “First Steps” class on June 1!
Buddy Crew
Shoreline Kids Buddy Crew is a one-on-one buddy system for children (ages birth - 5th grade) with special needs. Our Buddy Crew will pair dedicated and trained volunteers with children with special needs during our Sunday gatherings. Our buddies will support children with special needs so that they can participate in our children’s ministry to their full potential.
For more information, or to request a Buddy for your child, please email Shoreline’s Children’s Director Laura Hale at laura@shorelineknox.com.
If you would like to go ahead and fill out our Buddy Crew Child and Family Information Form you can do that here. Please note: Shoreline will need this information before a child can be placed with a Buddy Crew Volunteer.
