SUNDAY CITY KIDS MINISTRY

School Age (K5-5th)

City Kids School Age is a service for 5K-5th Grade that takes place on the lower level of the church during our 8:30AM and 11AM service times. Kids experience worship, prayer, and teaching to help them grow in Christ.

Early Childhood (Infant-4K)

City Kids Early Childhood lays a faith foundation for newborns to Age 4 through Bible lessons and activities in a loving small-group environment on the lower level during the 8:30AM and 11AM service each Sunday.

Also located on the lower level, is a small space for parents and children to still participate in the worship service with a live stream TV.  We also offer a nursing mother's room.

Buddy Program

City Kids Buddy Program is a ministry available each month on the fourth Sunday at the second service for children who have differing abilities. Currently, we are serving children from ages five to eleven years old. Adults and some of our City Changers kids will be helping by being a Buddy with a child with differing abilities.

Our City Kids ministry focuses on the child and the person with the Holy Spirit. We do refer to the child as a whole person and not by their disability. Our team has been led to serve our children because the Lord has given us a passion for children and specifically our buddies. The Lord loves that we are using the gifts given to us to serve His children. We serve His children because we love them and want to minister to them and their families.

We request that interested families fill out the application so that we can contact you about the program. If you know families with special needs children, please share with them that City Church is reaching out to minister with them.

child dedication

Child Dedication takes place every few months during our Sunday morning services. It is a public declaration of parents' commitment to raise their children in a Christ-centered home. We know that ultimately, our children belong to the Lord. We also know that it takes a village; and that is why we want to come alongside parents and families in helping raise children to grow in their own personal relationship with Jesus.  Click below to sign up for the next opportunity.

CAMP FIRE

JULY 30 - AUGUST 2 | PARADISE PARK

Personal encounters with God are vital to our children's faith. We believe kids are active members of Christ's Body and need to be equipped to live and minister in His power now. Over and over we've seen their desire to be touched by Him, and every time He's responded in amazing ways.  

Come and be a part of this unique opportunity for such God encounter as kids ages 8-12 come together with this common goal, removed from the routines and comforts of daily life, surrounded by the beauty of nature while enjoying fun activities, friendship, and spiritual training that propels them into their God-given destinies.
