Children

Noah’s Ark
Noah’s Ark is an environment created especially for infants through preschool-aged children. During these first years, we know that little children grow and learn at a rapid rate. This is why we strive to lay a strong spiritual foundation in the life of each preschooler. Whether it is through learning a new song, reading a Bible story, or fun with crafts, we believe that children are never too young to begin learning about the God who created us.

Kid’s ROCC
Kid’s ROCC is a fast-paced, exciting, and fun learning environment designed for elementary-aged kids that takes place in the River Oaks Gym during both Sunday morning worship services. Our staff and volunteers incorporate skits, wacky characters, and fun games that reinforce the teaching of God’s Word. Children also encouraged to read their Bible at home and rewarded for doing so. Children may check-in for Kids ROCC in the gym lobby, next to the Coffee Bar, 15 minutes before services begin.

Sunday School
Our elementary-aged Sunday school classes promote the spiritual growth of children in a classroom setting. Teachers engage with children in a relaxed atmosphere in a way that emphasizes learning, community, and God’s love. In order to provide age-appropriate instruction, these classes are further broken out according to grade level.
Children may check-in at the Welcome Kiosk located at the entrance to Noah’s Ark.
Tween ROCC
Tween ROCC is designed for 4th and 5th graders to ease their transition into youth. It provides these students with an opportunity to grow socially and spiritually with their peers. In addition to pizza, Tweens can expect relevant teaching that will better prepare them to live out their faith in middle school. Tween ROCC occurs on the third Friday of each month in the River Oaks gym at 7pm.

Check-in Procedures for Noah’s Ark
When you arrive at River Oaks, please make your way to the Welcome Kiosk located at the entrance to Noah’s Ark. Our teachers will be prepared to check-in your child 15 minutes prior to the start of each service. Because we value the safety of every child, we follow a detailed check-in process:
- If this is your first time with us, you will be asked to fill out a registration form. This will enable us to generate a name and security tag for your child’s shirt and diaper bag. You will then receive a corresponding tag. You must have this security tag with you in order to pick up your child. This is to ensure that no one picks up your child without your permission. In the event we need to contact you during the service, the security tag number will be posted on the screen in the worship center. A member of our host team will then escort you to your child’s classroom.
- Please complete the sign-in sheet at the door to the classroom and make sure all items that belong to your child are labeled.
- For safety and stability reasons, we ask that you check in your children at the door, instead of going in to the classrooms.
You will also notice members of our security team monitoring the entrance to Noah’s Ark and all our volunteers go through a detailed background check.
Although this might seem like an inconvenience, it is a quick process and we hope you will come to appreciate the way we value each child entrusted to our care. If you have any additional questions about Noah’s Ark, please contact us →.
