children's ministries: Events & Opportunities
At San Marino Community Church we love
children! Children are a beloved part of our spiritual community and have a
special place in God’s heart. We seek to encourage children to connect to God
and one another, making friends, growing in their faith, and discovering their
unique role in God’s kingdom!

Infants - Kinder: From 8:45 A.M. on, parents can check in their children at the Children’s Welcome Table and then bring them to their appropriate classroom in the Lower Courtyard. Children should be picked up from their classrooms immediately after the service.
Ist – 5th grade: Parents check in their children at the Children’s Welcome Table and then proceed into worship. From worship, children will be dismissed and escorted to the upstairs classrooms.
In Traditional: Children, 1st - 5th grades in the upstairs classrooms, will return to worship after the sermon.
In Contemporary: After the service, children 1st-5th, in the upstairs classrooms, are picked up outside by the Children’s Welcome Table to decrease enclosed space gatherings in the upstairs hallways.
