Our Mission is Helping Kids Know Jesus
CornerKids
CornerKids is a place for kids, infants - 5th Grade, to worship God and be encouraged to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. We create an environment that's engaging and safe! Kids experience God's love for them, and they're cared for in small groups.
For 4th & 5th Grade, we have a program called 4/5 Preteens. It's for kids in that in-between stage: not little kids but not quite teens. See below for campuses and times.
Sundays:
- Infant-3rd Grade: 9:30 & 11am
- 4/5 Preteen for 4th & 5th Grade: 9:30am in Base Camp

4/5 Preteens
4th & 5th graders are in that in-between stage: not little kids, but not quite teens. That's why we have this ministry just for them! It's offered Sundays at 9:30am at 84th St., 9:30am at South Wyoming, and 10am at Heritage Hill.
We want to help your child cultivate a personal relationship with Jesus. We do this by sharing God’s Word, connecting them with other kids, and by playing games and enjoying snacks and slushies together!
Kids are led by adult leaders who pour God’s love and truth into them. We have a larger group lesson, then we break off into smaller groups with the same group of kids and leaders. This allows the kids to get to know each other, and also allows the leaders to be a trusted adult for your child.
If your child is a 4th or 5th grader, we would love to have them come check us out. They can even bring a friend along!

Additional Information / FAQ
Special Needs classes are offered for CornerKids at the 84th St. Campus in room S213 during the 9:30am Sunday service. Web pre-registration is recommended.
Our goal is to provide a safe, loving and enjoyable environment that meets the physical, emotional and spiritual need of every child. We work with your family to meet the specific needs of your son or daughter.
We follow the preschool curriculum and adapt it to fit the needs of your child. The three main truths we would like every child to learn are:
- God Made Me
- God Loves Me
- Jesus wants to be my Friend Forever
These truths come alive through Bible stories, hands-on activities, crafts, and worship through music! If a child is unable to sit through structured activities, the volunteers will reinforce these truths through play.
If you have any questions, please email Bethann Fernandez.
Registration
Please click the link below to register your child for CornerKids Special Needs. If you fill this out by the Wednesday before you plan to attend, then your child’s information will be in our system. If you fill this out after Wednesday, please print a copy of your confirmation email so we may more quickly enter your child(ren) in our system.
The safety of your child(ren) in CornerKids is a top priority. Our child safety procedures are designed to keep our kids ministries areas secure, especially during drop-off and pick-up.
Check-in Procedure
You'll use a touch screen monitor to check-in your children. The check-in system will produce a name badge for your child, and a claim ticket for you (the parent/guardian).
Check-in is as simple as entering your phone number starting with the area code and it will bring up your family. You then click on the names of your child(ren). If you need help, someone will be available to help you. Once you're entered in the system, we can send you a *text message if you are needed during the service, and your claim ticket number will be placed on the main screen in the Worship Center.
Check-out Procedure
You must present your claim ticket to pick up your child. This is vital to the safety of the kids. Children will only be dismissed to their parent/guardian who shows the claim ticket that was issued to them at check- in.
*If you are needed during the service, we will text you, or your child's security number will be placed on the main screen in the service. When you receive a text or see a notification on the screen, please go to the CornerKids Check-In desk and the volunteer will let you in to pick up your child.

Please arrive 15-20 minutes early, and go to the CornerKids Welcome Desk. There, you'll fill out a registration card for your kids and be entered into our database. A CornerKids staff member or volunteer will show you where your child(ren)'s classrooms are and will answer any questions you have.
Kids are cared for by small group leaders that are trained and background-checked. Kids spend 5-10 minutes in their classrooms doing an opening activity, and then have a large group time with worship and Bible storytelling or a Bible story on video. Kids return to their classrooms for a time in small groups, connecting the Bible story in relevant ways through discussion, games and fun activities.
Thank you for your interest in serving in CornerKids! The first step is to fill out our CornerKids volunteer form. Someone from our CornerKids onboarding team will contact you from there.
The short answer is yes. Please see our baptism brochure for more on why we baptize, and what that means at Cornerstone Church. You can also visit our baptism page for more information on upcoming baptism celebrations.
