ASBURY KIDS
Welcome to Asbury Kids!
Have kids? We've got you covered. Asbury Kids partners with families to help your kids who are 6 weeks old through 5th grade know and grow with Jesus in a safe and fun environment!
When you're part of Asbury Kids on the Madison Campus, your kids will experience a fun time of worship and learning more about Jesus at their specific age level. Our incredible team of staff and volunteers is excited to get to know your child and ensure a safe and positive experience! Save some time by pre-registering your child below.

HEALTH & SAFETY
Asbury Kids staff and volunteers are trained to create an atmosphere where families can confidently leave their children while you are in service. Every volunteer is screened with a background check, completes Safe Sanctuaries training yearly, and our Kids hallways are monitored with security cameras. Plus kids are required to be checked out through our stations before retreiving your child with a check-out slip. We also ask families to abide by our sick child guidelines that you can reference below to help keep everyone as healthy as possible. Don't worry parents - we've got this!
GROWTH PATH FOR KIDS
No matter what age your child is, there’s always a next step they can take in getting to know Jesus! In Asbury Kids, each age has a specific focus to help us dig deep and grow together. But don’t worry if your child starts later - all kids will learn all of these concepts.
Foundation
With infants through two year olds, we focus on caring for your child’s needs and with foundational truths that God created them and loves them.
Prayer
Your 3-year-olds through Kindergartners will start learning about how they can talk to God through prayer.
Scripture
Kids in 1st through 2nd grade will be shown how to read the Bible for themselves and discover how God talks to us through His Word.
Relationship
By the time your child is in 3rd-5th grade, they will learn more about what a relationship with God looks like and how they can decide to accept Jesus for themselves!

Partnering with Families
We’re in this with you! While Asbury Kids leaders get to pour into your kids once a week on Sunday mornings through small group and large group experiences, we want to encourage you as you help them grow 24/7.
To help support you as you disciple your child in faith throughout the week, we invite you to join our Parents & Leaders of Asbury Kids Facebook group to stay connected with other families and the Asbury Kids team.
Special Needs Support
No matter your child's needs, we're here for you! Each Sunday, we provide tailored environments for kids with special needs. As part of SonShine Friends for 3-year-olds through 5th graders, each child partners with a buddy alonside their peers as they encounter God through Bible stories, craft, music, and play. Find out more about our Special Needs Ministry below and be sure to fill out our registration form in order for us to best serve your family.

FAQs
Have questions? We have the answers!
Our Kids Ministry area is unique in that it spans both sides of Gillespie Road. If your kids are 6 weeks through Kindergarten, you'll check them in through the Building 4 lower level check in area. Kids from 1st through 5th grade will check in across the street in Building 3 main level. If you have both ages, choose the one most convenient for your family. Our friendly off-duty police officers are present at the Gillespie Road pedestrian crossing every Sunday to help you and your family cross the street safely!
Yes! Our nursing mother’s rooms are available when you need a quiet place to feed your little one, conveniently located if you're in Traditional Worship by the restrooms on the main level of Building 3, and connected to the women’s restroom in the Concourse of Building 4 outside the Contemporary Worship Center.
Sundays are peanut free in Asbury Kids! To help keep the classrooms peanut-free on Sundays, we ask that you do not send any food with your child that contains peanuts as an ingredient. However, this does not mean our classrooms are a peanut-free environment, as our rooms are used by other programs throughout the week.
Reading and applying Scripture is a big part of how we help kids grow in their relationship with Jesus! Bibles are used during class time and in the large group times. We encourage and reward every child for bringing his/her Bible to church each week. If your child doesn’t own a Bible, we would love to help. We use the NIrV Adventure Bible. Talk to a staff member to get a free copy for your child.
