WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT ARISE KIDS?
Welcome to Arise Kids at Arise Church Denver! We provide a safe and fun space for your child to grow in faith. On a Sunday you will find rooms for kids from birth to 5th grade with trained, background checked volunteers ready to have fun. In each room, your kids will experience age and stage specific, engaging activities and lessons to learn about Jesus and what that means for today. Join us this Sunday for a joyful, faith-filled experience!
We currently have 6 rooms to divide up kids in our preschool (downstairs) and elementary space (upstairs) at Arise. We utilize Lifeway’s Hyfi Curriculum for all ages groups and specifically adapt it for our rooms and ministry to make it congruent with Arise as a whole and their age group specifically.

FAMILY ROOM
Birth until 6 months. We have a family room for those with kids from birth until they can hold their heads steady or they are welcome in service with you! There are all the necessities for feeding, changing, and sensory play, including a relaxing nursing chair. The service is streamed into the room so you don’t miss anything while you care for your little one.
EARLY CHILDHOOD
6 months until 3 years old. When they are able to hold their heads independently, they get moved to our toddler room where they have a short age appropriate lesson, snack, and plenty of play time. They are in this room until turning 3 years old. In this room, we focus on them knowing Jesus loves them when they leave.
PRESCHOOL
3 years old up to Kindergarten. In this room, kids are welcomed in with playtime and then setup up for worship, a lesson, several activities, and small group at the end to talk about and experience hands on learning from what they were taught. In this room, we focus on teaching them that Jesus loves them and wants to be their friend forever before they move up to the Elementary room.
ELEMENTARY
K-1ST, and 2ND-3RD. Kindergarteners through 3rd grade are together for large group time and some fun teacher-led activities. Then they go to team time, where the 2nd and 3rd graders have time for side-by-side discovery-based learning as they divide into small groups. Kids are invited to participate and discuss, building relationships with each other and their leader. These questions are designed to help all kids—regardless of biblical knowledge or background—feel like they can contribute.
4th and 5th Grades. The 4th through 5th graders are together in a room that is meant to prepare them for student ministry and graduating from our kids spaces. They form meaningful connections through various connect activities to help feel a genuine sense of belonging in the group. As they continue, they discuss the bible story and how it connects to their current situation; the relevance of biblical principles in today’s world. They are shown to view scripture as the words that point us to the Word - Jesus and then how to put it into practice.
