Pre-K - 5th Grade

St. Mark Kids

Welcome to St. Mark Kids

Kids age 3 to 5th grade are invited to be part of St. Mark Kids! Bring a friend and come have fun with others from West Des Moines, Waukee, Urbandale, Norwalk, Johnston, Des Moines, and more. 

Wednesdays 6:15-7:30pm

  • Wednesday nights start with large group games, a Bible story, and message. All kids are able to engage with each other and the leaders through fun activities to learn our weekly story.


  • Kids then join their small group with their leaders for age appropriate activities to form stronger peer connections through crafts, games, and diving deeper into the weekly Bible story.

St. Mark Kids meet Wednesdays, from 6:15-7:30pm in the Worship Center, enter off 12th Street by the playground.

Register: St. Mark Kids

Sundays during 8:30am worship

During the service, Pre-K and Kindergarteners are invited to join worship for the first part of the service. After the children's message, these youngest members will go to 8:30Kids for the remainder of the service for activities and bible stories that help them grow in their faith.

Programming is held September through May.

You Might Be Wondering

St. Mark volunteers receive background checks that are updated regularly through Protect My Ministry. This also includes training to help understand and prevent child abuse.

 

Children and parents receive matching printed tags and pick-up tags to ensure safety. The child’s tag identifies their age group, any allergies, and a security code, which matches the parent pick-up tag.

As a great way to help your child transition from you to programming, we serve a free community meal beginning at 5:30. You and your child can socialize with other families, eat dinner, and transition from your day to programming.

But wait there's more...

Group activities are a great way to learn about Jesus and make friends.
