Joy Kidz & Generation Joy

A safe, fun place for your kids

While you're in the service, your children are learning, singing, playing and making friends — in rooms built just for them. Available at every weekend and Wednesday service.

Your kids' new friends

Joy Kidz & Gen Joy mascots help make a fun and friendly environment for your children — bringing energy, silliness, and a whole lot of joy to every room.

Safety & check-in

Your child's safety comes first. Here's exactly what happens, so there are no surprises on your first visit.

1

Quick first-time registration

Check-in stations sit at the entrance to each children's area. On your first visit we'll ask for your child's name and age, your address, and any special needs information. It takes just a few minutes.

2

Matching security stickers

You'll receive a security sticker with a unique code. Only a matching sticker allows a child to be checked out — so our team can be certain your child leaves with you.

3

If your child needs you

Your code appears discreetly in the upper right corner of the auditorium screens. Head to the check-in area and a leader will meet you and explain what's needed.

4

Screened, trained volunteers

Every person serving in our children's areas has completed a background screening and receives ongoing ministry and safety training.

Every fall · Free for everyone

Fam Fest is one of our favorite times of the year.

One evening every October, the whole Joy Church campus turns into a free family festival: inflatables, carnival games, food, costumes, first responders, and a big show on the main stage. The whole community is invited, and thousands come.
