GRANNY WHITE

Kidtown

At Midtown, we do more than just take care of our children.

We see our ministry to families as one of the primary ways to be agents of gospel renewal for the good of Nashville. On Sundays, we work to create a welcoming, safe, and fun environment for children that we call Kidtown. Kidtown is available during the 8:30am and 10:30am services at Granny White. Come and see how we’re planting seeds of truth in the hearts of the next generation.

Our philosophy

Join kids in worship, wonder, and learning.

In each of our classrooms, children are encouraged to participate in age-appropriate worship, immersive lessons, and cross-generational discipleship as they learn to believe, become, and belong in the church.

Age Groups

What to Expect

What a Sunday at Kidtown looks like.

Drop off & Pick up
Dropdown icon

Each family will be greeted by our host team at the entrance, and the first step for parents will be the downstairs check-in desk, where a volunteer will help get you checked in.

Then, parents will be directed to drop off their child in the proper classroom, where they will be picked up after the service.

Safety and security

After check-in, each child receives a number on their name tag, which corresponds to a sticker that is given to parents. This sticker will then be used by the Kidtown teachers to verify each student before they are picked up.

Kidtown is for children who are well, so please be sure that your kids are free of the following symptoms for 24 hours: fever, runny nose, vomiting, cough, throat infections, diarrhea, or any contagious illness.

Stay Up-to-date

Our monthly newsletter has all of the latest information for families, upcoming events, and resources to help guide spiritual growth at home.
