What to Expect

We feature incredible programming from babies – 5th grade, but understand you may want to get to know us before dropping off your newborn in GM Kids. Until then, we offer the following options:

• Reserved Worship Center seating for parents of newborns, with room for strollers and diaper bags, and is easily accessible to exit and enter as needed.
• The Family Worship Room, adjacent to the Worship Center, features comfortable seating and low lighting for families with young children who want a more flexible environment while watching the service via broadcast.
• The Overflow Worship room and other comfortable seating areas in the Main Commons are also available.

GM Kids is a fun, creative, safe place where our babies through 5-year-olds come to worship, build relationships, and experience church community. Our goal is for every child to learn that Jesus loves them and has an incredible plan for their life!

Each classroom is suited to the specific needs of each stage, offering age-appropriate worship and teaching.

When you check your preschooler in for the first time, our Welcome Team will host you to your child’s classroom, introduce you to their teacher, and explain our safety features and pick-up procedures.

GM Kids Elementary is a place where kids can be kids and learn about God in a fun, creative and engaging way.

During free time, your elementary-aged child can choose from options including air hockey, ping-pong, giant Connect Four, basketball, creative activities and board games. All free-time activities are supervised & monitored by volunteers.

Worship time takes place in a large room where kids sit by grade with their leaders and friends. They engage in high-energy worship, hear a creative, age-appropriate lesson from a live teacher, and participate in Memory Verse Madness where they compete in games to learn God’s Word.

Small Groups are organized by grade where leaders are intentional, reviewing the lesson from that day and discussing how to apply God’s Word to our lives. Group leaders are experts at navigating each age group and how to tailor their questions to every grade and age. Leaders are consistent and take time to get to know each child and what is going on in their life!

On Sundays, Students enjoy the Worship Service, which features dynamic worship and impactful messages. Many of our Students sit together in the far right section of the Worship Center.

6th-12th graders are invited to Fuse Students on Wednesdays at 6:30pm for creative and unique experience created just for them. Teens and pre-teens enjoy worship, messaging and small groups that will impact their daily lives, providing godly relationships with their leaders and peers, drawing them closer to God.

Genesis Metro has a thriving Young Adult community that worships together on Sundays and gathers for their own service & events on Tuesday evenings at 7pm.

If you’re between 18 – 30(ish), we have a place for you! Stop by the YA Connections Area on Sundays, in the Main Building adjacent to the Welcome Desk. Meet other people your age, and even find someone to sit with!

We have GM Groups for every person, every age, and every stage!

We were created to live life in community, and we believe we are truly Better Together. LifeGroups, Interest Groups, Study Groups, and Support Groups are offered throughout the year to provide opportunities to grow in our relationship with God, the church and each other.
