The Kids Ministry exists to partner with parents in bringing their children into a relationship with Christ and helping them live out the Gospel where they live, learn, and play.
Sunday Mornings
All of your kids, regardless of their age, have age-specific nursery or Equip classes at 9:00am they can attend. They are also welcome to join you for the entirety of the worship service at 10:30am, but we do have some age-specific classes available as well. See below for more details.
6 months–23 months
Nursery is available for infants and babies aged 6 months through 23 months. Our Kids Wing greeter will point you to the correct room. You will have the option to pick your child up after Equip classes end or leave them in the nursery rooms up through when the worship service concludes.
2s–5th grade
Kids Equip Classes, separated by age, are available for all kids from 2 years old through 5th grade. The Kids Wing greeter will guide you and your child to the appropriate room. You will have the option to pick your 3-year-old and younger child up after Equip classes end at 10:05am or after the worship service concludes at 11:45am. Kids in the Preschool class and older will need to be checked out by a parent after Kids Equip classes end at 10:05am.
6 months through 3 years
Nursery for kids from 6 months to 3 years are available. They can be dropped off before the worship service starts at 10:30am, or at any point during the worship service as well. If they were in the nursery during the Equip hour, you are not required to pick them up between the conclusion of that class and the start of the worship service. The Kids Wing greeter will guide you and your child to the appropriate room.
4 through 6 years
All 4- to 6-year-olds will start in the Sanctuary at the beginning of the worship service at 10:30am, and will be dismissed to the main lobby to meet their Kids Worship teachers after the offertory, which is typically between 10:50-11:00am or so. They can be picked up from their classroom after the worship service concludes at 11:45am.
2nd–5th grade
All kids from 2nd grade through 5th grade are invited to worship with their families for the duration of the worship service. Kids Bulletins are available in the back of the Sanctuary to help younger kids participate in worship—one for early or non-readers, and one for more confident readers. Our hope is that kids and students will fully participate in the church-wide worship service with their families.
Kids Ministry Curriculum
During Kids Worship, toddlers are taught from the year-long Bible storybook curriculum God Loves Me, and our 4- to 6-year-olds will learn about why and how we worship with the Teach Us to Worship curriculum. Equip class curriculum details can be found here.
Parent Resources
Located across the hall from the Kids Wing, the Moms & Babies Room is designed for mothers of infants and babies. If you need a private place to feed your child, a quiet room for them to nap, a changing table, or just a place to go when they're struggling to remain in the worship service, this room is for you! The worship service is livestreamed to this room so you can continue to worship while you care for your little ones.
Located in the Commons, our Play Area includes a central area with tables, toys, and kids books; an indoor playground for kids 10 and under, with an area for kids 2 and under; and an outdoor playground as well. There's coffee, comfy seating, and usually plenty of other people with their kids.
On Sunday mornings, our nursery groups rotate through the indoor playground. But after the worship service, parents are welcome to bring and supervise their kids on the playground. On Monday and Tuesday mornings, the Play Area is open to the public as well. You can find more info on our Play Area page.
The Pray for Me Campaign is an effort to connect every young person at Christ Community with one or more adults called Prayer Champions who have committed to praying regularly for them throughout the year. Let us know if you'd like to sign your kids up, or want to be a Prayer Champion yourself!
