AUTHENTIC KIDS

LOVING KIDS LIKE JESUS & HELPING THEM DEVELOP AUTHENTIC FAITH!

  • BABIES

    “I love our babies room because we get to welcome the newest members of Authentic Kids into a new environment that is filled with love and joy! What might seem overwhelming to them at first becomes one of their favorite places and often times that transition starts in babies!” —Naomi Nissley

    Our Babies room is for infants through 2 year olds and is a clean, safe, and well-equipped space for your child to be cared for, to play, rest, or be rocked to sleep.

  • PRE-K & KINDERGARTEN

    “Teaching the Pre-K and Kindergarteners how amazing and big our God is and how much Jesus loves them is so special! We get to see the wonder in their eyes hearing exciting Bible stories and as they experience worship in a fun and carefree way. This class is crucial to laying the foundational work for a young child’s future connection with Jesus and it is super awesome to be a part of that journey with them!”—Summer Bernath & Elizabeth Gehin

    Did you know that every Authentic Kids staff member and volunteer is background checked? We take your child’s safety seriously.

  • ELEMENTARY

    “Seeing the 1st through 5th grade Elementary kids really grasping Bible memory verses week after week and growing more and more curious about God’s Word is so awesome! For the older children, it’s so important that we help prepare them to carry their faith on into middle school, and we take that responsibility seriously. We feel privileged to come alongside parents to help their children build a firm foundation on Jesus.” —Pastor Vanessa & Mark Cruz

    Authentic Kids is located in a secure area only accessible by parents with an access ticket. Our local Winter Springs Police are onsite each week.

WHY WE SHOW UP.

Our Authentic Kids team is here to partner with parents, not just on Sundays, but throughout the week, through prayer and communication.

Creating a fun, clean, safe space for your children is a top priority for our Authentic Kids Team. It’s no small feat transforming a high school cafeteria into an amazing kids’ world, but it’s well worth the effort!
