Kids Ministry at Vineyard Church ABQ

At VCABQ our kids (infant through 8th grade) experience safe, age-appropriate environments where they learn about Jesus in a creative and relevant way.


We would love to see you and your family visit VCABQ Kids.

Your First Visit

Here's what to expect when visiting VCABQ Kids for the first time:


When your family comes in to the church, our greeter will guide you to the kid's check in area. We will check your child into our system and then one of our volunteers will lead your child to their age-appropriate room.


Upon checking in for the first time, we will ask for the following personal information (NOTE: We value your privacy and will not share this information with anyone):


  • Parent/guardian name(s)
  • Child's name
  • Child's birthdate
  • Home address
  • Phone number
  • Any special instructions (allergies, special needs) for your children

Parent's Viewing Room

VCABQ offers childcare during service for infants. But we also have a Parent's Viewing Room that is available at every campus for mothers and fathers with infants. This room is reserved exclusively for parents with infants to enjoy the service in a more private and quiet environment.
