Here at Upstate Kids, we believe that Sunday should be the most fun, exciting day in your child’s life! Each Sunday, your kids will engage in exciting worship, play games, meet new friends, and learn about Jesus in a way that they can understand. Our passion at Upstate Kids is to see each child come to Know, Grow, and Follow Jesus.
At Upstate Kids, we also believe that the greatest influence in the life of a child is the parent. Therefore, everything we do on Sundays, Wednesdays, and events is designed to partner with parents. Each Sunday, your child will experience three things: Biblical teaching relevant to their developmental stage, meaningful relationships, and a safe, fun environment where they can learn how to know, grow and follow Jesus.

Stay and Play is a relaxed, indoor playtime designed to meet moms right where they are in the middle of busy seasons. Rain or shine, moms can enjoy coffee and snacks while their kids play in a safe, welcoming space with ride-on toys, parachutes, music, and open-ended play. It’s a simple, consistent place for connection, rest, and community for both moms and kids. This will be a great opportunity to get to know other moms as the little ones play together. If you have questions, email Taylor at [email protected].
