RCC Kids Grove
Coming September 2025!
We invite you to join us Sunday mornings in our Kids Grove as we help your little ones grow in God’s love!
Like a small sprout that grows into a mighty tree, out aim is to help your children’s faith take root and grow.
Check-in will begin 15 minutes before the service, leaving you time to get your kids settled before picking up refreshments at our coffee table and finding a seat for our worship service.
During our Sunday service, we offer two age-appropriate classes where your children can learn, grow, and play in a safe and nurturing environment.
Sprouts:
birth - 24 months (infants & crawlers)
Seedlings:
2 - 4 years (walkers & talkers)
Q: What about my school-aged kids?
A: We love welcoming children into our services. We also know kids make noises, and that doesn’t bother us one bit!
When you arrive, stop by our welcome table where you’ll find an activity for your school-ages kids to enjoy during our service, including coloring supplies and a small snack.
Dream it.
It all began one cold winter night in front of the fireplace… Luke Boatman had volunteered to run the children’s ministry!
Melissa Boatman, his Mom, will be helping, of course.
Melissa Boatman leads our Children's Ministry with a deep love for the Lord and a servant's heart. Originally from Tupelo, Mississippi, she moved to Alaska with her family in 2020. She has been married to her husband, Andy, for over 20 years, and they have five children.
Melissa's love for children's ministry began when her own kids were young, and she has been a dedicated volunteer ever since. Her faith in Jesus, which began in the third grade, has been an anchor through both the valleys and mountaintops of life, and she wants to help the little ones in our church family grow that same strong faith. Professionally, Melissa is a SPED teacher in the Mat-Su Valley. When she's not at church or work, you can find her spending time with family and friends, cooking, or enjoying the outdoors and a good board game.
Build it.
As our church family grows, we look forward to having a place for our little ones (birth - 4 years old) to play and grow, as the Good News about Jesus takes root in their hearts.
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”
