Connecting Kids & Students to the Love of Jesus
Real Life is more than Sunday mornings. We’re a community of people connecting, growing, and encouraging one another all week long. Check out the activities below for your whole family to grow in the faith.
Our Family Ministry Team Focus
Moms, Dads, and guardians are the most critical people in a child/student’s world. As a church, we want to support you in your efforts to raise children & students who know and love God in such a way that He guides the course of their future.
The family and the church are two separate forces that are more powerful and effective when they work together. So, whether yours is a traditional, blended, or single-parent family, we desire to make Sunday morning/Thursday night the best hour of their week and then give you tools to keep the conversation and teaching going all week long.

We will ask for the following personal information when you check in for the first time. Use one information card for each child from birth to 7th grade. Each area has volunteers ready to greet you and help check you in. Please note: We value your privacy and will not share this information with anyone.

If we need to contact you during the service, your child’s name will appear at the bottom of the main service screen. We ask that you exit the worship area immediately and go to the same place you dropped your child off. A staff member or volunteer will direct you to your child.
First Visit Students (8th to 12th grade)
Here's what to expect when visiting Real Life Students for the first time:
Parents: We highly encourage you to come in and meet our volunteers and staff. We want to partner with you as a parent, even in middle and high school.
First, park in the upper parking lot in front of the brick building. Follow the Real Life Students signs inside to meet our student pastor and volunteers. We will answer any questions, show you the student area, and get some information.
Students: We highly encourage you to bring your parents upon your first visit. However, if you are driving or coming with a friend, follow the directions above, then fill out a visitor information card and check in to our system.
