Our preschool ministry serves families with Babies through Pre-K age. Our team of staff and volunteers provide a fun, clean, and safe environment for your child to learn how much God loves them.
FIRST TIME GUESTS
We are so excited to have you join us, and we want the process to be as easy as possible. When you arrive at our church, park in the guest spaces in the big parking lot and enter under the covered drive-thru with glass doors. There will be greeters there to welcome you in the foyer at the "New Here" desk. We'll escort you to the kids check-in station.
You can save time by clicking the link below and pre-registering your children.
Kate Blake serves as our Preschool Director, leading the team that loves and disciples our youngest kids every Sunday morning.
Kate comes to this role with years of experience as an elementary teacher and a long history of serving in preschool ministry at her previous churches. Her education background is a gift to The Glade, shaping not only how she cares for our preschoolers, but how she equips parents and leaders to point little ones to Jesus throughout the week.
Kate, her husband Kevin, and their daughter Evins are members of The Glade. She has a heart for partnering with families during these foundational early years, when kids are first learning who Jesus is and how deeply they're loved by Him.
SUNDAY MORNINGS
9:15am & 10:45am
Preschoolers are divided by birthdate so they can connect with other children their age. We meet in small groups on Sundays at 9:15am and 10:45am. Preschoolers will learn bible stories, scripture, and prayer using fun activities. Our 10:45 hour includes a special time of worship for 3-year-olds to Pre-K.
The Safety of your child is of utmost importance to us. All preschoolers must receive a name tag at the Kids Check-In Station before entering the preschool area. Parents keep the name tag receipt with a code to retrieve their preschoolers.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT PROGRAMMING
Wednesday night programming for Preschoolers will begin again on January 14, 2026.
Programming times are 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM.
We love these evenings of learning about Jesus and making friends. We hope to have your preschooler join us for these evenings while parents are on-campus for their groups.
Baby dedication is a milestone in the life of a family. The dedication is not a baptism or salvation experience - but it is a moment where parents commit to ordering their home around the things of God. Parents who dedicate their child in the presence of their church body are creating the rich soil to nurture their child towards one day beginning a personal relationship with Jesus.
We believe that parents are the primary faith influencers in the home, and we also belive our church body plays a significant role in supporting parents on their journey.
NOTE: Registration for this baby dedication is closed now.
If you have any questions please contact Jeremy Echols.
PHOTO OPT-OUT
On Sunday mornings, Wednesday nights, and special events, our photo team captures moments across our ministries to share what God is doing in the life of our church. We know every family has different comfort levels with their child's photo being published, and we want to honor that.
If you'd like to opt your child out of having their photos published on our social media, website, print materials, or videos, please fill out the form below.
