Spiritual formation happens at every age level. We are all on a journey to become wise practitioners of the Christian faith and faithful participants in the kingdom of God. For our children and youth, we use a curriculum that offers them and their leaders opportunities to worship and wonder at God’s story as they live it out together. We desire for our children to find their place in God’s story of redemption and reconciliation.
Each Sunday our children experience that story through speech, sight, sound, touch, and taste—both in the worship service and their age-appropriate lessons.
If you have any questions, contact our Children's Ministry Coordinator, Shelly Dirksen, at shellydirksen@gmail.com.
A nursery room is available for caregivers with kids 0 to 2 years old. The room is a quiet space with chairs and activities for young children, and with a view of the main sanctuary and audio from the main worship service.
A preschool story time is offered for kids 3+ during our service. Children in the preschool class may be signed in and dropped off at their classroom upstairs in the sanctuary prior to the beginning of the worship service.
Christ Church Kids children's worship is available for kids in kindergarten through 5th grade. These older children will be dismissed during a portion of our service and will return before its completion in order to participate or observe the Lord's Supper. Please sign these children in at the clipboards in the lobby before joining the worship service.
However, children are always welcome to join in the main service if that is more comfortable for them or your family. We have question sheets available for them in the lobby that they can use to help them engage with the sermon.
Children 6th grade and above are invited to come early for a Sunday school class at 9:15 AM, and join in the main service as part of the congregation. More details on youth ministry and the morning Sunday school class are here.
