Reality LA Kids is our children’s ministry, serving families with kids up to 4th grade. Our desire as a ministry is to partner with families in the mission of our church to make disciples who follow Jesus, love one another, and serve Los Angeles. Our volunteers work hard to create a safe, fun, and inviting space for kids to hear the good news of Jesus. By modeling relational compassion with a kingdom mindset, we pray that every child sees the joy of whole-life discipleship.
“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”
How We Partner With Families
We partner in biblical faithfulness by teaching children God’s Word on Sundays and equipping parents and caregivers to teach children God’s Word throughout the week.
We partner in gospel-centered ministry by always pointing children to Jesus as the author and perfecter of our faith.
We partner in multi-cultural community by finding intentional opportunities to celebrate cultural differences and guiding children through potential challenges during play and activities.
We partner in holistic mission by providing resources for parents, caregivers, and children to pursue justice in our neighborhoods and in our relationships.
Sundays
Kids are welcome in our gatherings, but we also have a variety of age-appropriate opportunities for them to engage the gospel in community with our team of loving (and background-checked) volunteers in Reality LA Kids. Below is a snapshot of what we are able to currently offer.
Moms’ Room
Any mother who would like a female-only space to feed your child, allow them space to cry or sleep—or honestly whatever reason you may have—can go to the private Moms’ Room located inside the library (signs will direct you day-of). This room has rocking chairs, a small foam-matted area for little ones to crawl on, a live video feed of the sermon, a changing table, and a diaper genie. If you have one child aged six months or younger, we suggest that this is the best spot for you.
Nursery
The nursery room is a space where 6-month-olds to 2-year-olds can be dropped off during the gathering. There are carpets throughout the room, books and toys to engage, snacks, musical worship, and a short bible lesson each Sunday. Our background-checked volunteers seek to care for your children and exhibit the love of Jesus in all we do!
Toddler
The toddler group is for 2-year-olds to 4-year-olds and for parent-volunteers interested in learning and practicing discipleship with their kids. Volunteers guide parents through how to lead Bible story time, teach conflict-resolution through play, pray with and for children, set up activities, and so much more!
Preschool-4th Grade
**Any child participating in these area must be fully potty trained and able to communicate with our volunteer team.**
We can’t wait to share the good news of Jesus and partner with you in making disciples! Our background-checked volunteer team will be with your children for the full duration of the gathering, then parents and caretakers can pick them up immediately after the service concludes. Our time together will include a gospel-centered teaching time, exciting musical worship, activities and crafts that help reinforce the lesson, snacks, and more!

Family Resources
Reality LA Kids’ mission is to partner with families in making disciples who love Jesus, love one another, and love our city. While these weekly guides, books, and other resources aren’t the ultimate answer to pursuing godly parenting and loving children, we do pray they will help guide, shape, and lead families in raising up children in the ways of the Lord. We hope these resources help supplement the primary resources of Scripture, prayer, relationships, and dependence on the Holy Spirit.
