AT EACH LOCATION

We believe kids learn best when they feel safe, known, and part of the family. Our Sunday morning experience is designed to be engaging, age-appropriate, and secure from the moment you arrive.

How Sunday Morning Works

  • Quick Check-In: Save time Sunday morning by completing pre-check-in on your phone before you leave the house via Church Center. If you prefer checking in on-site, stop by our lobby stations when you arrive. Your child receives a secure name tag, and you receive a matching guardian claim tag for pickup.

  • Family Worship: Kids stay with parents in the main service for the opening two songs of worship and announcements. We love having our families worship together before kids head to their classes.

  • Dismissal to Secure Classrooms: Following announcements, children are dismissed to our secure downstairs kids' area. Our background-checked team guides them directly to their dedicated rooms.

Age-Specific Classrooms

  • Toddler & Preschool (Ages 1–Pre-K): A playful, nurturing space designed for hands-on learning, simple Bible stories, and plenty of guided play.

  • Elementary (Kindergarten–5th Grade): An energetic, interactive environment featuring engaging Bible teaching, group discussions, and fun activities designed to help kids build lasting friendships and grow in their faith.

Pickup & Safety

  • Secure Checkout: When service ends, head downstairs with your guardian claim tag. Our team matches your tag number with your child’s name tag before release.

  • Trained Team: Every volunteer is background-checked and trained to ensure a safe, fun morning for your family.

Families of all ages are welcome in the main gathering space. For Sundays when little ones need room to move, nurse, or reset, we have a dedicated downstairs space designed specifically for you.

Family Room Amenities

  • Live Service Stream: Watch and listen to the full Sunday service in real time on a dedicated display so you never miss worship or teaching.

  • Private & Comfortable Space: Comfortable seating, open floor space for infants and toddlers, and an unhurried atmosphere for nursing, feeding, or diaper changes.

  • Open Access: Step downstairs at any point before or during service whenever your family needs a break, and return upstairs whenever you are ready.

What to Expect on Sundays

  • All-In Worship: Kids remain with parents throughout the service in the main room—wiggly, vocal kids are completely expected and embraced.

  • No Drop-Off Classrooms: Formal classroom drop-off programming (nursery through elementary) is not offered at our Winthrop location.

  • Self-Serve Family Support: The downstairs family room is available as a self-serve environment for parents and guardians to care for their own children while staying connected to the gathering.

Families with children of all ages are always welcome in the main gathering space. For mornings when your kids need space to move, play, or take a breather, we provide a dedicated family area right in the back of the coffee shop.

Family Space Amenities

  • Weekly Activities & Supplies: Fresh coloring pages, crayons, markers, and clean toys are stocked every Sunday to keep little hands occupied.

  • Flexible & Casual Setup: A relaxed seating setup that gives parents room to step away, nurse, or reset while keeping kids engaged.

What to Expect on Sundays

  • All-In Worship: Children are welcome to stay right beside you throughout the entire service in the main coffee shop area.

  • Self-Serve Family Support: This space is self-serve—parents and guardians remain with and supervise their children while using the room and supplies.

  • No Drop-Off Classrooms: Formal classroom drop-off programming (nursery through elementary) is not offered at our East Boston campus.

Our Sanctuary

All our sanctuaries are a beautiful blend of historic charm and modern comforts. Our Wakefield location even features stained glass windows alongside updated sound equipment, contemporary seating, and new flooring. We hope this creates a worship space that feels both reverent and welcoming.

Café & Connection

Stop by our café before & after service to enjoy coffee, snacks & pastries, and refreshments. It’s a great space to connect, meet new friends, or enjoy a peaceful moment before or after the service.

A Sunday at Restoration: Worship & Community

Contact Us

Our Sunday services last about an hour and fifteen minutes and are designed to be rich, reflective, and relevant. Each service includes a blend of historic liturgy with a modern touch: call to worship, singing, a Gospel message contextualized for life in Boston, communion, offering, and benediction. 

At Restoration Church, we invite you to come as you are. Whether you’re full of faith or full of questions, we’d love for you to join us, explore following Jesus, and see if Restoration is the right fit for you.
