NIKAO KIDS
Our kid’s ministry offers a place where children, 6 months through 5th grade, can discover and deepen their passion for God.
What We Offer
Sunday Service Times
Nikao Kids is offered EVERY SUNDAY at our in-person services at 9:00am and 11:30am ET at South and 10:00am at North.
Sensory Room
Our Sensory Room provides a safe, calming, and supportive environment for children (3 years old - 5th grade) who may benefit from a quieter space during church services. If you have specific questions about your child’s needs, please contact our Kids Ministry team (kids@nikaochurch.org) prior to your visit.
Parents are encouraged to register in advance. Registration helps us prepare appropriately and provide the best possible support for each child.
The Sensory Room is exclusively at the South Campus and is open only during the 9:00 AM ET service.
