Elementary students can have a great experience on Sundays learning that they can trust God no matter what, they can make the wise choice, and they can treat others the way they want to be treated. Students will worship together, hear a Bible story, and connect in small groups to dig into the lesson for the day.
Launch
Fourth to Sixth Grade
Fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students can have a great experience on Sundays learning that God cares, they are made in the image of God, and He invites us to include one another.

Resources & Tools
Weekly Videos
We want kids to learn about God whether they watch online or join us in person. Weekly videos align with in-person content, so kids are learning the same thing no matter how they join us.
Talking About the Gospel
Talking about Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection may lead to some questions. This video and Gospel Resource Guide have some simple language to help you have that conversation.
Child Dedication
An opportunity for a parent to intentionally express their desire and commitment to raise their child to know and love God.

Safety & Security
The safety and security of kids on Sundays is of the highest importance to our team.
-
- Families will use a secure three-part-nametag check in/check out system each week
- All Blackhawk Kids volunteers have an interview, background check, and reference checks prior to serving
- Volunteers and kids are never alone in a one-on-one setting
- Volunteers receive emergency preparedness training prior to serving
- Volunteers receive ongoing training opportunities specific to their role throughout the year
- Blackhawk Kids follows CDC guidelines for indoor youth settings (kids under age 12) and offers weekly videos online that align with Sunday programming content for those who are unable to attend in person.
Kids with Special Needs
We want to help every kid take their next step in faith. If you think your child would benefit from additional help on Sundays or with help from a one-on-one volunteer includer during Blackhawk Kids programming, let’s start the conversation! Fill out this form and we will be in contact with next steps.
Food Allergies
Keeping kids safe is one of our highest priorities. All rooms are nut free and we are not offering food during kids programming at this time. However, we ask that you complete this form (one per child) with specific details we should know about your child’s food allergies so we can make sure your child is safe and our volunteers and staff are equipped each time he or she enters our rooms.
Purchase a Bible for your Child
Giving your child a Bible is a powerful gift. Our ministry gets great deals on the Bibles we use on Sundays, and we’d love to pass those prices on to you. Purchase a Bible online and pick it up on Sunday.
