Rez Kidz Reign Forest
“The Rez Kidz Reign Forest” “Where God’s Love is Showered on All Children” is the Children’s Ministry at Resurrection Life Church, ministering to children from 6 weeks through 6th grade. Our goal is to provide a safe, secure environment conducive to learning the truth of God’s Word at every age level of the Reign Forest, in a way that is exciting, relevant and age appropriate. Our commitment is to “shower” God’s love on ALL children and help them experience how God can live in their hearts as Savior and “reign” in their hearts as Lord. This commitment is based on CORE VALUES of integrity, commitment to excellence, a heart for evangelism, relational ministry and a servant’s attitude.
SUNDAY SERVICE
SAFETY AND SECURITY
Keeping children safe and secure is a top priority in the Reign Forest! Children (3 years old through 4th graders) are to be escorted to their classroom, at which time the authorized adult (16 years and older) will receive a hand stamp while checking in their child (children). Only one hand stamp is needed for multiple children in a family checked in different classes.
At the conclusion of the service only those authorized adults with the hand stamp will be allowed past security to the Children’s Wing. Hand stamp will again be checked again at the classroom before child is released. If arriving after service has started, children will remain with parents and be admitted to their class after adult Praise and Worship.

The Cub Hut Nursery (6 weeks to 3 years) is only offered during our the service as well as a complete Children’s Service for TreeTop Tots (Pre-K - K), Canopy Kids (1st - 3rd grade) and Grapple (4th - 6th grade).
