Reach Kids
A safe, fun environment designed to help every kid make friends and grow in their relationship with Jesus.





What to Expect


Trusted Volunteers
Every volunteer serving in Reach Kids has attended Reach for a minimum of six months, successfully completed an in-depth training process, provided character references, received a background check, and undergone a one-on-one interview.


A Simple Check-In
On Sunday morning, a Reach Kids volunteer will welcome you and help you check in. You will receive a receipt with a unique security code that matches your child’s name tag sticker. These will be matched at check-out.


Teaching from the Bible
In Reach Kids, your child will receive Jesus-centric, inspiring teaching. Each message falls into one of four categories that make up our curriculum: Doctrine, Biblical Principles, Biblical Characters, and Book Studies.
Meet Annika Arrera
Hi! My name is Annika and I am so thrilled to be the Reach Kids Associate Pastor. I have been at Reach since 2018 and feel so grateful to be on staff. My husband, Matt, and I live in Juanita and love being on the Eastside. I am so thrilled to be able to pour into our Reach Kids and teach them about Jesus. A few of my favorite things include: baking gluten-free goodies, drinking pour-over coffee, and organizing anything and everything. I would love to grab a coffee with you and get to know you more!


FAQs

All of our kids’ curriculum is created by the Reach Kids team. Our Pre-K and Toddler classes offer lessons tailored to children aged 5 and under. For our K-5th-grade students, our curriculum spans a three-year sequence. Each message falls into one of four categories that make up our curriculum: Doctrine, Biblical Principles, Biblical Characters, and Book Studies.
We take our Reach Kids safety very seriously. Parents receive a unique code when they check their child into Kids, and that code must be presented at pickup. If the code is missing, we will ask the parent to go re-print their tag. No child will be released from Reach Kids until the codes have been presented and match the child’s name tag code.
For parents of toddlers, we will notify you if your child has to go potty. Parents must pick up their child and escort their toddler to the bathroom. No Reach Kids Volunteer will ever change a diaper or assist a child in the bathroom. For children in Pre-K and older, two volunteers will escort the child(ren) to the bathroom and stand outside while they wait. Only one child is allowed in the bathroom at a time.
Our Kids classes are specifically designed to work for each of our different age groups. Our Toddlers and Pre-K classes offer time to play, have a snack, hear a short Bible story, and do a craft. Our K-5th-grade class includes a Kids’ sermon, small group discussion time, and activity/free play time. Each class has a lead teacher and supporting volunteers who help keep the class running smoothly. Our goal is for our kids and volunteers to connect, learn about Jesus, and have fun!




Volunteer with Reach Kids
Reach Kids is an ever-growing ministry! If you have a heart for teaching kiddos about Jesus, we would love for you to join the team. We are always recruiting for volunteers in all of our age groups (Nursery - 5th grade). If you call Reach home (and have been attending for over 6 months), we would love to talk more with you about what joining the Reach Kids team looks like.
You’re Invited
Whether you’ve been following Jesus for decades, or identify with words like “curious” or “skeptical” when it comes to faith or church, we want you to know there is a place for you here.
