The East Entrance is the primary entry point for Bellevue’s Children’s Ministry. This year’s Love Offering will give the entrance a fresh look that clearly identifies it as the home of Bellevue Kids and creates a warm, welcoming first impression for families. A child’s experience at church begins before they ever enter a classroom. The Bellevue Kids entrance will be a place where families can take that first step with confidence—and where children can begin discovering what it means to know and follow Jesus.

Once families arrive at the East Entrance, our goal is that they’ll immediately feel welcomed and know they’re in the right place. The updated check-in area will provide a safe and lively environment for children and their families. This will give families a clear place to begin while creating a warm, engaging introduction to everything waiting beyond it. From the moment they walk through the doors, families should experience an environment that feels intentional, inviting, and designed with their children in mind.

The classroom is where so much of the kids’ experience at Bellevue happens. It’s where children hear about Jesus, ask questions, build friendships, and grow in their faith. These areas should reflect the energy and joy of the children who fill them. New classroom concepts will bring brighter colors, more engaging details, and a fresh sense of creativity to these spaces. From colorful doorways to thoughtful design elements, these updates will help create classrooms where children feel excited to walk in and ready to learn.

“When a couple has a baby, they refurnish and redecorate a nursery. They welcome the new baby into their home, and they want the baby to have the best that they can offer. That should be the attitude of Bellevue. We want these new families that visit to have the very best our church has to offer. Updating our children’s spaces is going to make our church look so much more welcoming to families and their children.”

Ken Hindman, Preschool and Children’s Pastor

Exterior Signage

For first-time guests, their first experience at Bellevue begins in the parking lot. Updated exterior signage will help guests quickly identify entrances, parking areas, and key locations across our campus.

“We know that visiting a new church can feel a little overwhelming, and we want to make it as easy as possible! At Bellevue, there’s so much to love, and we should be excited to want to help guests find their way, whether that’s where to park, where to go, or who to meet. Bellevue has such a sweet fellowship, and it’s best experienced in person!”

Brittany Griffin, Education–Childhood Committee Member
