RC Kids is a safe, fun Place to learn about God's love.
During our 9:30am and 11:00am services, RC Kids is directly across the hall from the auditorium. We believe the kids of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Our vision is to equip the next generation of believers to share the gospel message and reflect the character of Christ to everyone and in every setting.
We offer kids ministry sections for three age groups: Sparks (0-2 years old), Ignite (2-4 years old), and Soar (5-9 years old). We also offer a Mother's area equipped with a livestream of our service.
We provide FREE PARKING in the AMC Parking Garage (entrance on Boylston Street) for families to make it easier to attend church. Just ask for a parking voucher when you pick up your child.

RC Kids Programs:
Each week, children are welcomed by our RC Kids team members. All RC Kids team members are background checked, reference checked and approved by RC Kids leadership before serving.
Children will always be in the presence of at least two adults. We provide a safe, fun space for children in each age group to play, worship, learn, build friendships and develop a relationship with God. Below is an overview of each of our age groups.
SPARKS (0-2)
The Bible tells us that God knows us before He forms us, and that infants proclaim His strength (Jeremiah 1:1, Psalm 8:2). In our Sparks nursery group, we provide a nurturing and safe place for our littlest ones who are held, rocked, and played with. We strive to pray over our littlest ones, introduce them to Bible stories, and sing songs of worship and praise over them.
IGNITE (2-4)
Jesus loves little children (Mark 10:13-16)! In this age group, we engage our rambunctious toddlers in play, Bible stories, and crafts while we convey God’s unfailing love for them. In this space, we aim to introduce little ones to more of a structured lesson plan that mirrors what they will experience once they graduate into our Soar group.
SOAR (5-9)
Each week, we use attention-grabbing and dynamic lessons to teach God’s word to elementary-aged children. Our goal is to help kids develop a deeper faith and find confidence in their identity in Christ.
Please let an adult know during Check-in if your child has any allergies.
FAQS:
+ What can I expect on my first visit?
When you enter the AMC you will be greeted by our greeting team. They will point you in the right direction if you need help finding us. Once you’ve arrived at the RC Kids Space, an RC Kids Team Member will help you check-in your child. If this is your first time, you will be assisted in filling out an online Registration form that will give us some information about your child such as their birthday, age, whether they have any allergies, and anything else you would like our team to know about your child.
+ How does check-in work?
Our check-in window runs for 30 minutes, beginning 10 minutes before service starts. The end of the check-in window simply means that the kids have begun the major part of their lesson for the week. Don’t worry if you arrive after the check-in window. An RC Kids Team member will still be able to assist you!
At the check-in station, an RC Kids Team Member will help check-in your child using our check-in system that pairs each child with their guardian. Your child will be given a name tag with their name and age and directed to their designated age-group zone.
We encourage parents/guardians to walk their children into the space along with one of our team members for drop-off. Only Team members, and children who have been checked-in (along with their parent/guardian) are allowed into the RC Kids area.
+ What if my child needs me?
Our check-in system operates as a pager. If your child needs you, we will page you and it will come through as a text message on your phone.
We encourage parents to keep an eye on their notifications. In the event you miss a page from our team, we will personally send an RC Kids Team member to come find you in the auditorium.
+ How does check-out work?
At the end of service, parents return to the check-in area where an RC Kids Team Member will allow the parent-guardian to enter the RC Kids area to pick up their child.
Once you are in the RC Kids area, you will be able to pick up your child from their designated age-group zone. Each RC Kids team member ensures that each child is paired with their proper parent/guardian. Meanwhile, the RC Kids Team member at check-out verifies proper pairing upon both entry and exit of the RC Kids area and updates our check-in system accordingly.
If you need a parking voucher, the RC Kids Team Member will hand one to you at this point.
