Discover Kids Min at Oceanside Presbyterian Church!

Searching for a welcoming church in Oceanside for your family? At Oceanside Presbyterian, our Kids Min program is designed just for your children—infants through 5th grade—providing a safe, engaging, and age-appropriate environment where they can explore faith and learn about Jesus in fun and meaningful ways. Each Sunday, your child will be in good hands, and they’ll come away with excitement and stories to share. We’d love to meet you and your family this weekend!

Our Mission: Introducing kids to Jesus and Growing Faithful Young Disciples

At Oceanside Presbyterian, we don’t just see Kids Min as a kids’ program—we see it as a journey we’re on together with parents. Our mission is to partner with you in helping your children grow strong in faith, kindness, and love, building a foundation of trust and joy in their relationship with Jesus.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

We know the first visit to a new church brings questions, especially when it comes to your children’s comfort and safety. Here’s a quick look at what you and your family can expect when visiting Oceanside Presbyterian Church in Oceanside for the first time:

Check-In and Safety

  • When you arrive, come to Room 101 to check in your child. Our team will be there ready to greet you, answer any questions, and make sure each child is in their designated area.

  • Check-in opens at 9:45 a.m., giving you time to settle your child and make it to the 10:00 a.m. service. We keep all family information private and secure for your peace of mind

Age-Specific Classrooms and Fun Activities
We organize children by age groups, each with dedicated activities, lessons, and play areas tailored to their developmental needs:

  • Infants and Toddlers (Under 2): Our Nursery is a cozy, fully equipped space where your littlest ones are safe, happy, and cared for by trained staff.

  • Preschool & Kindergarten (Ages 3-K): In Room 102, children engage in interactive activities and stories that bring Bible truths to life in ways they understand and enjoy.

  • Elementary (1st–5th Grade): Our 1st–5th graders meet in Room 101, where they explore faith through engaging lessons, songs, and group activities that they’ll remember throughout the week.
     

While you enjoy the main worship service, rest assured that your child is well-cared for and learning about God in an atmosphere they’ll love. Our goal? For them to come out with smiles, new friendships, and a story they’ll be excited to tell you about!

Pick-Up After Service
Following the service, head back to the Coaster Kids area to pick up your child. We aim to make your experience simple, warm, and enjoyable from start to finish.

Parent’s Lounge & Wiggle Room

We understand that sometimes kids need a little extra space. If you have an infant or a child who needs some wiggle room, we’ve prepared a Parent’s Lounge just for you. Equipped with a live feed of the service, this room allows you to comfortably care for your child while staying connected to the worship experience. Remember, your little ones are always welcome in the main service too—whatever is most comfortable for your family.
