A Great Place for Kids!

Piano lessons and soccer practice are good, but nothing compares to sound spiritual training when building character and laying a foundation for personal success. Critter Cove is a fun and safe place where kids learn Biblical truths. And often, there are live “critters” to enjoy.

Kat Edmunds serves as the Children’s Ministry Coordinator at Stepping Stones Church, where she oversees programs for children from birth through 5th grade. Married to McKade and a proud mom of two beautiful children, Kat brings both personal experience as a parent and professional expertise from her years in childcare. With a background as an EMT, she is passionate about creating a safe and joyful environment where kids can discover who Jesus is. Kat’s greatest joy is seeing children excited about God’s Word while knowing they are loved, cared for, and welcomed as part of God’s family.

What to Expect?

  • Safe and Secure Environment

    Your child's safety comes first. Our trained and background-checked volunteers are here to make sure your kids are safe, cared for, and having fun. With secure check-in and close supervision, you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

  • Engaging & Age-Appropriate Learning

    Stepping Stones Kids is designed to engage your children at every age and stage of their spiritual journey. We offer fun, interactive, and creative lessons that bring the Bible to life, tailored to each age group!

  • Check-In Process

    We want your first visit to be as smooth as possible. When you arrive, simply head to our check-in area, where our friendly volunteers will help you register your child. You’ll receive a unique tag for secure pick-up after service.

Age Groups

  • We strongly believe spiritual training of our children should begin the minute they are born.  During Life Groups and Worship Hour we teach our youngest children simple biblical truths and then reinforce these concepts while they play. Our teachers are screened but most importantly have a deep love for Jesus and are crazy about children.

  • Just like Jesus used objects like coins, fish, and plants to teach, our teachers use everyday objects and fun activities to teach Bible truths.  During the Life Group Hour kids study the same Bible passage the parents are studying, making for good conversations at home.

  • Pastor Jeff connects with children and their families both before, during and after the Worship Service. There are Children’s Bulletins with activities that supplement the sermon. Family Worship is every first Sunday with Super Church offered the remaining Sundays.

Help us out!

We’re looking for caring people to help create a fun, safe space where kids can grow in their faith. Whether you like teaching, telling stories, leading worship, or just spending time with children, we’d love to have you on our team!
