Remodel Drop-Off/Pick-Up Instructions:
We want to inform you about our new drop-off and pick-up procedures during the renovation period starting January 12th . While our main services will be held at The Harlow Event Space, KidCity will continue to operate at our church building (1717 McGee St). Similar to a school drop-off model we've implemented a streamlined system to ensure your children's safety and minimize disruption.
Drop-Off Instructions:
1. Enter through the alley off 17th Street to reach the church building's back entrance
2. Follow the marked signs and cones to our heated check-in tent
3. Remain in your vehicle - our volunteers will assist you
4. A volunteer will check your child in and escort them safely to their KidCity area
Pick-Up Instructions:
1. Follow the same route through the alley and back entrance
2. Display your family name car sign clearly in your windshield
3. A volunteer will bring your child to a designated pickup spot
4. Exit through the parking lot behind the church
Special Instructions for New Families:
1. Please park in the designated spots near the back entrance
2. Bring your child inside to complete the first-time check-in process
3. You'll receive a temporary car sign/label for future pick-ups
Important Reminders:
- Please ensure your contact information is up-to-date in our system
- If we need to reach you during the service, a volunteer will reach out to the number listed in CCB
- Our Registration Team phone number will be (816) 421-7729
- Children will be ready for pick-up 5 minutes before service ends at The Harlow
We're committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for your family. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to Corrine or Joe Cunningham.

Every Sunday
9:15 & 10:45AM Services
We are passionate about creating an engaging experience where your kids can learn to know and follow Jesus. In KidCity, we teach God’s Word through age-appropriate large group worship and activities that include teaching, video, and small group activities. We aim for prayerful attention to each individual within an environment of safety.
Safety is important to us, so every volunteer in our children’s ministry has passed a state of Missouri criminal background check. In addition, we also have our security team at every service to ensure your child's safety.

Meet the team
Joe and Corrine Cunningham
Starting in 2011, we served together by leading a weekly VBS session at Chouteau Courts’ community center in Kansas City until the neighborhood closed down in 2017. This change opened the door for us to start leading the KidCity ministry. Over the past few years, our passion for working with children has grown as we see the children’s relationship with Jesus grow. We are committed to KidCity because we know that when truth is planted in the hearts of children it will grow and thrive as the Lord works through their lives. We are excited about the future of KidCity and are ready to continue investing into the New Life CityChurch families.
