Family Visit Guide
Visiting with Kids? You’re in the Right Place.
We’re so glad you’re here.
Whether your kids are full of questions, full of energy, or just… full (of snacks), you are welcome at St. Andrew. We believe church is a place where the whole family belongs - wiggles, whispers, laughter, and all.
What to Expect
Our worship is designed with real families in mind.
You’ll see kids moving, talking, participating—and yes, sometimes making noise. That’s not a distraction to us. That’s a sign of life.
- Services are about 50-55 minutes long
- Kids are always welcome to stay in worship
- We include interactive elements, music, and moments that engage all ages
- You can come and go as needed - no pressure, no judgment
- We offer a PrayGround with toys, and interactive elements in worship for our youngest friends
- We also offer a family room, with a rocking chair, toys and a smaller space to enjoy our worship
- There is an interactive worship bag station where your child can find sensory toys, coloring sheets and other activities to use while in worship. We encourage you to come early, and help your child create their own worship bag
If your child needs a break, that’s completely okay. You won’t be the only one.
