Seaside Spark Children's Church — where faith ignites and hearts shine

Seaside Sparks

Children's Church Every Sunday

We have toddler and K-5 classes every Sunday. While we would love to accommodate every child, our capacity is limited, and slots fill quickly.

To provide a safe, welcoming, and well-prepared environment for every child, all new families must complete a Children’s Church registration form before their child participates in the program.

Registration may be completed off-site before arrival or on-site at the Registration Desk during check-in hours.

COMPLETE REGISTRATION NOW

Registration does not guarantee a spot in Children’s Church; however, it saves time at check-in when you arrive.

  • Weekly registration is required — first come, first served
  • 10 AM service: registration begins at 9:45 AM
  • Registration reopens after the dismissal video to fill open spaces
  • Caring Baby Room in the back of the sanctuary, with a video feed
