KidCity Jingle Jam 2025 – Parent Information & Registration 

We’re so excited to announce this year’s KidCity Christmas Program: Jingle Jam 2025!
Our theme is: “The King Came for You.”

This will be a powerful and fun Christmas celebration where our kids get to worship, sing, dance, and share the story of Jesus—the newborn King.

Event Overview

Date: Sunday, December 14th
Services: 8:00am • 9:30am • 11:00am

• Kids will be assigned to one service only (except dancers, who perform at all three). You will find out your families designated service time as we approach the event. If you have kids in multiple departments (i.e. Preschool and 1st-5th), they will be placed in the same service. This is to prevent reaching over capacity with seating--seeing that parents, grandparents, etc. will be attending this day!

• After kids sing, they will sit together in reserved front seating so they can enjoy and be included in the rest of the service.

• Preschoolers will perform during pre-service and may be included in the interactive message as well.

 Registration: REGISTER HERE

 Event Day Details

• After they sing, they will sit together in reserved seating.

• Following the service, kids will be escorted back to the Gym for checkout. Parents will not be permitted to get them from the Worship Center.

We are so excited to see how God will use this year’s Jingle Jam to point kids and families to Jesus — the King who came for us all!

Thank you for letting your kids be part of this unforgettable Christmas experience!
