Welcome to UKids!

At University Baptist Church, we are passionate about partnering with parents to lead children to know God, grow in Him, and share His love.
From your tiniest baby to your growing elementary student, we are here to walk with you every step of your child’s faith journey. We believe the home and the church can work together to raise lifelong disciples of Jesus, and we can’t wait to meet your family!

Safety First

Your child’s security is a top priority. We use a secure check-in process and run background checks on every volunteer. You can trust that your child is safe and cared for while you worship and learn.

Sunday Mornings at UKids

Helping every child Know God, Grow in Him, and Share His Love!

Whether it’s your baby’s first Sunday or your 5th grader’s favorite part of the week, we’ve created a warm, engaging, and safe environment where kids can experience God’s love and truth at every stage.

Worship & Littles Church | 9:30 a.m.

Check-In opens at 9:15 a.m. 

Your Sunday morning begins with Worship—and for our littlest ones, that includes Littles Church too!

Preschoolers (Babies–PreK)

  • Check-in at the Preschool Suite downstairs
  • Babies—2-year-olds can be dropped off at their classroom. 3-year-olds—PreK can be dropped off on their designated pews in the Sanctuary to join for worship and the children’s message. They are dismissed to their classes after worship.
  • Use the U-shaped driveway on Wabash for easy drop-off!
  • Littles start in worship with their class, then head back for:
    • Bible story time
    • Fun crafts and activities
    • Snacks and free play
  • If they are also staying for Enriched Littles, we’ll transition them to their new classroom for you.

Elementary Kids (K–5th Grade)

  • Worship with their families in the sanctuary at 9:30 a.m.
  • Grab a Worship Bag to help them follow along and engage!

Enriched Littles & Enriched Kids | 11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.

After the service, all children (babies–5th grade) are invited to stay for age-specific Bible classes designed to help them grow in faith and friendship.

Preschoolers:

Stay in the Preschool Suite and continue exploring God’s love through Bible stories, centers, sensory play, songs, crafts, and scripture memory.

Elementary Kids:

Check in at the Main Hallway. Head upstairs to Enriched Kids for:

  • Bible teaching
  • Scripture memory
  • Hands-on activities
  • Games, worship, and more!

Partnering with Parents

We believe that church and home together make the biggest impact. That’s why every child receives two take-home pieces:

  • One for your child to reflect and grow
  • One just for you, the parent—to help keep faith conversations going all week long!

[Download the Parent Cue App] to follow along with what your child is learning and receive age-specific cues for faith at home.

Midweek Kids

Wednesday Nights | Babies–5th Grade | 6:30–8:00 p.m.

(August–May)

Midweek is an exciting night where kids live out their faith through discipleship, missions, service, and worship!

Faith at Home

At UBC, we believe discipling your child starts at home. 3000 vs. 125—That’s the number of hours you have vs. the hours they spend at church each year!

We’re here to equip you with tools, not burden you with pressure. Small, consistent moments at home matter!

Faith at Home Tools:

  • Parent Cue App
  • Weekly Devotionals and Parent Cards
  • Monthly Preschool Placemats
  • Midweek Devotional Binders
  • Family Spotify Worship Playlist
  • UKids YouTube Channel
  • Seasonal Family Devotional Kits
  • Faith @ Home Library (in the Family Room)

Our goal: To walk with you as you raise children who love and follow Jesus!

Moms Connect

Because moms need community too! Moms Connect is a place for women to gather, laugh, be encouraged, and grow in faith together.

  • Monthly Gatherings
  • Coffee + Devotionals + Crafts
  • Childcare provided!

Join Moms Connect!

Buddy Ministry

We want every child to know they are seen, loved, and belong! Our Buddy Ministry matches children with special needs to trained "buddies" who assist and encourage them during Sunday and Wednesday programs.

Buddies provide:

  • Friendship
  • Support to fully participate in church life
  • Partnership with parents and ministry leaders
