Kids Venue |Birth-5th grade|

We create a space where children can truly be themselves while building a foundation of faith, compassion, and a heart for serving others.

Our Promise to Families

Safety First: Comprehensive background checks for all volunteers, secure check-in/check-out procedures, and age-appropriate supervision.
Inclusion Matters: Every child is welcomed and valued regardless of background, ability, or family structure.
Faith-Centered: Introducing children to Jesus' teachings of love, acceptance, and kindness in ways they can understand and apply.
Joy-Filled: Learning through play, creativity, music, and meaningful relationships.

Our Approach

Develop an understanding of Jesus' love and teachings
Practice kindness and empathy toward others
Discover their unique gifts and how they can serve
Build meaningful friendships in a supportive community
Ask questions and explore faith in a safe environment

We believe children learn best when they feel safe, valued, and free to be their true selves. Our dedicated staff and volunteers are committed to creating spaces where every child can thrive.

We have regularly scheduled Kids Connection groups, Family Events and service projects in addition to our regularly scheduled Sunday programming. Please check out | What’s Happening | to Register for Upcoming Kids Venue Events.

Kids Venue Values

The Venues

The Venues church. A gathering of people based in Springfield, Missouri, that gathers together and then scatters out into our community to pursue and accomplish the spiritual and social ambition of Jesus Christ. We gather as a church to seek truth, follow Jesus and ask questions together so we can be “venues” through which the Holy Spirit expresses the life of Jesus. Our ultimate mission is to connect people through authentic relationships to experience the love and grace of Jesus.
