Generations - Kids & Youth
At Christ Community, we seek to help kids of all ages to know and love Jesus. On a Sunday, we run 4 kids’ ministries:
- Seedlings (pre-kindy)
- Saplings (kindy & prep)
- Kids’ Church (Yrs 1-6)*
- Youth (Yrs 7-12)
*Note: Kids’ Church only runs during the school term.
Seedlings
Seedlings is the kids’ ministry program for our youngest children, around 8 months up to pre-kindy age. We seek to plant gospel seeds through songs, stories, prayer, craft and play! Alongside this, we hope Seedlings offers parents of little ones the opportunity to participate actively in the church service.
When: during the church service on Sundays.
Saplings
Saplings is the kids’ ministry program for our kindy and pre-prep children. We seek to nurture gospel growth through these young children interacting with each other, and their leaders, to see the wonder of Jesus and what it means to belong to him. There’s craft and song, games, Bible stories and prayer. It’s a wonderful opportunity for kids to learn with their friends the good news that Jesus is King and grow in this good news as his precious little people.
When: during the church service on Sundays.
Kids' Church
Kids are full members of the body of Christ and we want Kids’ Church to be a place that helps children grow in knowing, loving and enjoying Jesus more. We pray that God would help us build meaningful relationships with each child, so that we can show them His love, teach them about Him, and encourage them to glorify and enjoy Him for the rest of their lives!
We split these kids into two age groups – one for younger kids (grades 1-3), and one for the older kids (grades 4-6). In this environment, children learn about Jesus through Bible stories, prayer, memory verses, games and craft, and are encouraged to ask questions and be discipled on what it means to live their lives for God.
When: during the church service on Sundays.
Youth
We want to partner with parents to declare the gospel of grace to their teenagers (grades 7-12), creating a welcoming community where they can learn about and follow Jesus. Our hope is to see them know Him, grow to maturity in Him, and find real friendships along the way!
We play games, spend time digging into the Bible, and pray for one another.
When: 9:15am on Sunday, before church.
Creating a safe, secure, and supportive environment for children is deeply important to us at Christ Community Church, and we are committed to caring well for every child through our Child Protection Policy, as well as adherence to Safe Ministry guidelines. All our kids and youth leaders hold current Blue Cards and have completed Safe Ministry training.
