MAKERS FAMILIES
Makers Kids
Age 0 – Grade 5
We are committed to partnering with parents as they invest in the future of their children. We believe that parents have a big influence on their children’s lives and we are here to encourage & support you and your family’s walk with God.
“These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.” – Deuteronomy 6:6-8Â
We are taking a break from online classes this summer, but will reconvene in the fall. If you have questions or would like to receive weekly content that you can share with your family please reach out to kayla@makerschurch.org.
Makers Youth
GRADES 6-12
A community of young people, middle school and high school, who come together to ask questions and have real conversations about life and faith. We believe in meeting people where they are, developing relationships, and empowering the next generation to create a better future.
Even though we are not meeting in person on Sundays, we continue to stay connected digitally. For more information or to get connected, please reach out to oscar@makerschurch.org.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Check-In + Safety
You’ll find our kids check-in area in the back courtyard through the main sanctuary. Just look for the Makers Kids signs! New parents will need to register their kids and will receive a sticker to help match the right kids with the right parents at pick up. From there. one of our staff members or volunteers will help direct new families to the correct classrooms.
We make sure that your kids are safe so you can relax and enjoy the Gathering. All of our volunteers undergo background checks, and are dedicated to creating a physically and emotionally safe space for your kids to encounter God and make new friends.
