We are grateful for all the children at HopeGateWay and have a variety of ways to engage, both during worship and gatherings outside of worship! To learn more contact our Associate Pastor, Christie Dahlin. 

Do you have Sunday School? 

We have a monthly gathering on Sunday mornings before worship called HopeGateWay Kids, a time of song, story, and crafts for kids ages 4-10. During this time parents are invited to enjoy a cup of coffee and fellowship with other parents.  

What happens on a typical Sunday morning? 

Children are welcome to be a part of our worship gathering in a variety of ways. Children are invited to get an activity bag with a worship scavenger hunt sheet, coloring pages and books to read, or sit at the children’s table in the worship space, which has a craft each week.  We love having children participate in worship through reading the welcome statement, passing the offering baskets, serving communion or passing the microphone. 

Do you have any programs for younger children?

We offer loving childcare for children from 0-first grade in the children’s room during worship (which is right next to the worship space). We have one staff member who is with  the children and occasional volunteers as well (all staff and volunteers who work with children have completed a background check). 

What other programs are there for children and families? 

Throughout the year we offer a variety of events that are intergenerational and focused on building connection and community, such as game days, apple picking, kite flying and more!
