Leading & Inspiring Families Together, LIFT Kids is GT’s Family Life Ministry for children 0 - Grade 5. Partnering with parents, our goal is to help develop spiritually strong children and families. Join us for Sunday morning programs, midweek childcare, family events, and more!
Welcome to LIFT Kids!
Kids Programs on Sunday Mornings!
We invite children to worship, learn, and play with us on Sundays during all services.
LIFT Kids (Grades 1-5), Lil' LIFT (Preschool & JK/SK), and Nursery programming are offered for all morning services.
Children with Exceptionalities program is offered during the 10:00 am service on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month, so please register your child with us. *If your child needs additional care, to discuss your child's participation in other activities, or for further information, please contact our Family Life Team.
We can't wait to see you! Contact us at liftkids@gtburlington.org
Children's Programs
We are privileged to have the opportunity to lead kids closer to Jesus when we study God’s Word together, spend time in worship and have a whole lot of fun with friends!
We run childcare during midweek Grow Nights, a Biblical Worldview Course for Kids, Day Camps, a week of Summer Camp, and more to help your kids grow closer to God and one another.
Family Events
We believe that parents are the primary spiritual influence in the lives of their children and because of this, our goal is to come alongside parents to support, encourage and resource them. Join us for Parenthood Cafés, family events, Play Café, midweek programs, and more offered throughout the school year.

Children with Exceptionalities is a supportive LIFT Kids program designed to help children and youth with additional needs participate, learn about Jesus, and feel a sense of belonging at Glad Tidings. The team provides personalized support, including one-on-one care when available, while helping children integrate into regular programming whenever possible

If it's your FIRST TIME checking in your kids with us, you can pre-register then come upstairs to the Kids’ Welcome Centre where one of our team members in a red LIFT shirt will be happy to help you get checked in for the first time! For RETURNING families: Nursery attendees will check-in in the Nursery downstairs. LIFT Kids (Grades 1-5) and Lil' LIFT (Preschool & JK/SK) attendees may come upstairs and check-in at one of our Check-In Stations. Children with Exceptionalities are asked to please register in advance (gtburlington.org/register) and then check-in at the Kids’ Welcome Centre.

We love having kids in the main service with us a few times a year for Family Sundays at GT! We know that it can be challenging, but believe Family Sunday is an opportunity for us to model to our kids what it means to belong to a church, worship Jesus, and hear the Word and be encouraged by it. On Family Sundays, only Nursery & Preschool rooms are open, and kids JK and up will join you in the Worship Centre for service. Kids can serve on our junior worship or greeting teams by signing up the week before online. Family Sunday will be announced the week before so you can come prepared, but we'll also provide a kids' activity book and pencil to help them engage in the service.

We send out monthly emails to families including information on upcoming programs and events, our teaching series overview and parent devotional, and multiple resources to equip you as parents. We also have an Instagram account, Facebook group, and YouTube channel for LIFT families to stay connected and involved.
