MAIN STREET KIDS
Welcome to Main Street!
We partner with parents as they raise their kids to know Christ and make Him known.

We have engaging classes designed for kids (birth through 4th grade) at the 9:30 and 11:00 services. Click the tabs for more info.
On Main Street our goal is to W.A.L.K. alongside kids and their families by:
- Welcoming Kids Into Community: We understand that kids who feel a part of the larger church family are more likely to continue to engage and grow. With this in mind we welcome kids and work to create lasting connection. We also provide outreach events and encourage kids to invite their friends, who may or may not have been to church before.
- Aiming to Disciple Through Relationships: We create opportunities to build positive relationships. Leaders work to build trust in order to more effectively disciple kids and walk along side of them as they explore and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
- Leading and Equipping Parents: We are committed to providing materials and training that prepare parents and leaders to more confidently walk along side of kids and help them grow in Jesus.
- Kindling a Love For God and His Word: We are intentional about reaching kids at their maturity level. We teach the Bible and bring it to life with creativity and fun. We read it, point to it, quote it, memorize it, apply it, meditate on it, and encourage kids to obey it.
Registration
Due to COVID necessitating smaller class sizes, registration is required each week for the 9:30 or 11 o’clock service (birth – 6th grade). In order to prepare rosters and name tags, these forms will close at noon on Friday. If you did not have the chance to sign up, come to the Kids Welcome Center in the North Lobby and we will work to fit your children.
Check-In
You will want to arrive Sunday morning about 10 minutes before the service starts and head to Kids Check-In in the North Lobby (click here for campus map). At Kids Check-In you will find two socially distanced lines by last name (A-L and M-Z). After you wait in line, you will pick up the name tags for your kid(s) and the matching security tag you will use to pick them up. If this is your first time, a Kids Ministry volunteer at the check-in desk will gladly show you to your kids’ room(s). They may also ask for additional information (allergies, age, etc.) as needed.
We look forward to meeting you and your kids in person and helping you out any way we can.
Pathways Ministry provides one-on-one buddies to support kids with special needs during our Sunday morning programming as well as a sensory room for those who need a quiet space. With Pathways we seek to know your family and create the best environment for your child’s specific needs. To connect with our Pathways Ministry contact our Kids Ministry Director, Tammy Hassett, at tammy@burkecommunity.com.
Considering the safety protocol provided by the State Health Department for childcare and school settings, we have set the following guidelines for this season:
- All volunteers will wear face masks.
- Kids ages three and up will wear a face mask or face shield.
- Hand sanitizer will be offered to kids as they enter.
- Infant – Preschool Classrooms will max at 12 people in the room (including volunteers).
- Elementary Classrooms will be socially distant large group structured programming.
Upon arrival, families will be asked the following screening questions:
- Is there anyone in your family not feeling well today that cannot be attributed to a known medical cause?
- Has anyone in your family had a fever in the last 24 hours?
- Has anyone in your family tested positive for COVID in the past 14 days?
- Has anyone in your family had contact with someone in the past 14 days who has tested positive for COVID?
What curriculum do you use?
On Main Street we use Orange Curriculum, which is designed to engage kids at church and at home. Their solid Biblical teaching is met with fun activities, great video content, and excellent parent resources.
When do kids move up to a new class?
We promote infants through two-year-olds throughout the year based on their personal developmental growth. Preschool and Elementary kids promote in August in preparation for the new school year.
Can you accommodate my unique situation?
If you have a unique situation regarding a special medical condition, custodial issue, or behavioral concern, we want to come alongside you so we can better support you on a Sunday morning. To discuss this beforehand, please contact our Director of Kids Ministry, Tammy Hassett. Rest assured our staff and volunteers will do their best to care for your family and do that with great discretion.
How do you keep my child safe & secure?
Families are given a child’s nametag and a matching parent tag when arriving. At the end of class, a security check-out is performed by comparing parent tags against child tags before releasing a child. We also follow strict guidelines for bathroom and diapering procedures. For a full list of the safety measures in place read our General Practices.
What is your volunteer safety protocol?
All Main Street Volunteers, teen and adults, go through a complete application process before serving in our classrooms. Adults have a thorough background check completed and participate in Sexual Abuse Awareness Training. All volunteers review and agree to abide by our General Practices. At least two volunteers must be present in a classroom at all times. Families may serve together as long as there is one non-family member present on each volunteer team.
We consider it a privilege to walk you through these important faith milestones.
