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.

PRESCHOOL MINISTRY LEADERSHIP

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

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.

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.

Midweek at The Glade

Wednesday nights are for going deeper. Whether you're just starting to explore your faith or you've been walking with Jesus for years, there's a place for you here.

Adults can choose from a variety of courses designed to spark meaningful conversations and dig into Scripture together. Students gather for worship and community in a space made just for them. And preschool and kids? They've got their own worship and learning experience too.

Whatever your age or stage, there's something for everyone on Wednesday nights. Come as you are and leave more rooted in the Word and connected to your people.
