Overview
Our corporate worship experience at Foothills Church is authentic and full of life. The music is relevant and will engage your heart. You will also hear a challenging and biblical message from Pastor Trent that will inspire your faith journey. We transform the gymnasium at Maryville Christian School each week to create a comfortable and relaxed environment. When you walk through the doors you’ll see friendly people welcoming you into the room. Coffee and bagels can be found each week in our cafe area located in the lobby.
Do you have Children?
Foothills is a great place for families with children. We don’t baby-sit children, we use this time to teach and model biblical principles that will shape their life forever. We understand that each parent is responsible for the spiritual growth of their children, but our desire is to partner with parents and help children understand God’s purpose for his or her life. As you enter the front doors, the children’s ministry will be on your left.
Creation Station: Infants-Pre K
It’s never too early to start teaching our kids about God’s love. Each age group has age appropriate activities and interaction focused around Biblical themes. Because we love and care for our children so much, we take security very serious. In order to better protect our kids, all children must be checked in at each before entering the age appropriate room. Each child will receive an armband, and parents will receive a matching tag that must be present to pick up children. Once you check-in your child, you can have peace of mind knowing that they are in good hands. All of our volunteers go through a full background check to ensure the best care possible.
The Zone: Kindergarten-5th Grade
Children will experience interactive worship and talk through the day’s lesson in a small group environment. Your child will have fun, meet new friends, and be challenged to live for God. Security is also important to us in The Zone area. Each parent will need to check in at The Zone check-In counter. It is a good idea to come a few minutes early to check your kids in at the table to ensure that you are able to get to the adult worship service on time. Our friendly staff looks forward to meeting you and your family.
Foothills Student Ministry: 6th grade-12th grade
FSM is an incredible ministry for teenagers to connect with other students and grow in their relationship with Christ. Students meet on Wednesday nights for corporate worship and then break out into small groups to go deeper into God’s Word. They meet at our mall location 6:30-8pm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who will be working with my child?
Volunteers in the Children’s Ministry are highly dedicated and see the opportunity to serve children and families as a privilege. All of our volunteers pass through security screenings and training. Please contact us at kids@foothillschurch.com if you would like to get involved and experience Creation Station or The Zone as a volunteer.
Why should I check my child into Creation Station or The Zone on Sundays?
Children's classes are available starting at six weeks old and we strongly encourage parents that by the time their child is 6 months old through 5th grade they be checked into OneLife Kidz rather than bringing them into the adult worship services. While this helps keep distractions in the adult auditorium at a minimum, the main reason is so your children can experience church on their own level and in a way that will help them begin to discover God. And they will have a blast! Additionally, we may be addressing "adult" topics from the Bible that Sunday in the auditorium that children may not be mature enough to handle.
How do you keep track of my stuff?
Please label your child's belongings before you arrive (bags, bottles, pacifiers). Our volunteers will also have labels to make sure you get home with everything you came with.
How clean can a high school really be for kids classes?
The staff at Maryville Christian School keeps the facilities in excellent condition and very clean. Additionally, we clean the rooms and sanitize all toys and surfaces before and after each use.
