Christ Church Kids

Helping kids find and follow Jesus

Christ Church Kids is all about helping kids find and follow Jesus. A child’s first impressions of the God of the Bible is a big deal. In fact, ideas of God formed in childhood often stick (for better or worse) with a person throughout their lifetime.

While God has given parents the primary responsibility of forming those early ideas of God, our goal is to provide powerful boosts to the Bible teaching happening at home through ninety minutes of intentional singing; engaging, deep Bible teaching; and loving interaction with God’s people each Sunday morning.

Practically, how do you teach these things?

  • We use Answers in Genesis, which cycles through all the major narratives of the Bible every three years.  If your child is with us from age three all the way through fifth grade, he or she will work through the Bible three times with increasing depth each time.

  • We believe kids (and adults) need God's word hidden deep in their hearts.  

  • We gather kids in K-2nd each week for a musical worship time, where we get to praise God together. Kids in 3rd-5th grade travel as a class each week into the adult worship service, because we believe that it’s a huge benefit to kids to see their parents worshiping and to experience the awe of God that comes in the gathered worship service.

    In preschool, we start working on memorizing the books of the Bible together. We usually repeat memory verses several weeks in a row, encouraging kids to actually memorize them!

What will you teach my child?

  • We want each child to know that he/she is loved deeply by the Creator God, who sent His Son Jesus to die in sinners' place on the cross. Jesus defeated death, bodily rose from the grave, and now offers eternal life to anyone who will trust in Him.

  • We want children to understand the overall storyline of the Bible, not just individual Bible stories.

  • Children (and adults!) need the Word of God stored in their hearts for ready use.

  • We want children to have a doctrinal framework that will help them make sense of the massive story of the Bible.
