Children's Ministry

We desire to see children developing a passion to know, love and follow Christ by discovering Him and his intimate love for them through worship, teaching and play. We will equip parents and resource volunteers to be able to confidently teach and nurture children in the Christian faith at home and in the Children’s ministries at Christ Church.

Nursery

Christ Church’s nursery serves our youngest children, infant to preschool. These tender little ones are cared for by highly trained and caring nursery workers who teach a Gospel centered curriculum with care and grace.

Sunday Check In: If you have Nursery Age Children (infant through preschool) please come to the Nursery Check-In Station located in the office foyer on the west side of the building. A volunteer will assist parents in registering their family so that a security tag can be printed out for young children along with a matching pick up tag for the parents.

Elementary

Gospel conversations, warm community, laughter, and true discipleship are happening every week at Kids’ Quest, our Sunday morning program at both the 9am and 11am services for elementary age children. These kids are led by dedicated volunteers in The Gospel Project for Kids curriculum, where they grow in their understanding of the Bible and learn all about God’s plan to rescue us through his Son, Jesus. Once dismissed from Sunday morning service, Kids’ Quest kids follow the cross to their own special space and are brought back to sit with their family during Passing of the Peace. 

Sunday: If you have Elementary children, please visit the office foyer and fill out a "New Family Registration Form." This will allow us to have your contact information during "Kids' Quest" time. Elementary children will begin the service with their parents in the sanctuary until they are released by our worship pastor to follow the cross with screened and trained adult volunteers who will lead them to their age appropriate classrooms during the sermon and prayers. Children will then be returned back to their parents during the "Passing of the Peace."
