Kids Sunday School

Kids' Sunday School is an age-specific classroom experience for students. Classes meet during Community Life for most weeks of the school year (9:35-10:25). Teachers and students spend time getting to know one another and discovering and exploring God's Word together. Each morning includes some time to:

  • share in the wonder of who God is

  • discover a story from God's word

  • explore that story and the implications about who God is and what that means for us as His children

  • worship God as individuals and as a community

This fall, we will have:

  • Preschool (Room 205)

  • K/1 (Room 207)

  • 2nd/3rd (Room 309)

  • 4th/5th (Room 311)

Kaleidoscope Kids

Wednesday evenings, from 6:15–7:45 p.m.,
for kids in preschool (age 4 by Sept. 15) - 5th grade.

Kaleidoscope Kids is a highly-interactive and engaging evening for children 3 years old (by June 1) through 5th grade. We begin the evening with a large group time in the sanctuary. (Families are welcome to stay and participate in this time of music and teaching if they desire — younger siblings included!)

Students are then dismissed to age-specific classrooms where they continue to explore God's love together in a variety of meaningful ways as a smaller group.

Nurseries

Nursery is available during all worship services, Gather Women’s events, and some special occasions. We provide care in two rooms:

  • Our Infant Nursery is equipped for newborns-steady walkers.

  • Our Toddler Nursery is equipped for steady walkers-preschoolers.

Family Options:

  • Our Nursing Room is available for any caregiver needing a quiet place to feed or comfort your baby. It is equipped with sound so that you can listen to the worship service if you choose.

  • Our Family Changing Station is equipped with diapers, wipes and extra clothes. There is space for a stroller and safe space for a sibling to play while you attend to your baby.

What to expect when you arrive:

  • A welcome from one of our nursery volunteers

  • Secure check-in — your child will receive a nametag with his/her name, a security code and the guardian phone number. You will also receive a sticker with a code that matches your child’s security code; you will be asked to show this when you pick up your child.

  • A safe place for your child to play & explore — along with our secure check-in system, we staff the nursery with 2 or more volunteers at a time, age-appropriate toys that are cleaned regularly, and plenty of books and other activities. We have gluten-free snack options for children old enough to eat finger food.

Family Care Room: During the worship services, Room 205B is available for families who are looking for a safe space for their children to play, but would prefer to stay with their children. The service is live-streamed on a TV in that room.

If there is anything we can do to help you or your child feel more comfortable, or for more information, please contact the Director of Children’s Ministry, Dorie at dorie@c3ec.org or 715-835-5073.
