Ministries

Jesus has a special place in his heart for children, and we do too. We desire as a church to come alongside parents in helping them with the most important job on the planet—raising children to know and love God.

CCKids Sunday Mornings
All volunteers in CC Kids are background checked and trained to work in our children’s area. Our goal is for children to want to be at church and for parents to feel confident their child is safe and learning about how much God loves them!

0-24 Months
Bring your little ones to the nursery area on Sunday mornings. Children are rocked, read to, played with and fed, as needed. Volunteers will take great care of your little one while you attend the weekend worship experience. Please visit the children’s starting point area for more information.

2-Year-Olds
This age likes to move! We provide age-appropriate toys and activities, serve goldfish for snacks, and learn a short Bible story during our worship experience. Our primary goal is making sure that every little gift of God feels safe and loved.

Preschool
Preschoolers are ready to go! We do not serve a snack in the preschool classes, as they are too busy learning and playing! Each time we meet we share Bible stories and activities to go along with the monthly Bible words.

Weekday Preschool
Christ’s Church offers preschool during the school year (September through May), for a monthly tuition. We have classes for ages 19 months and up to 5 years old. Each class is taught by highly qualified, caring teachers who guide children as they grow and develop. For more information about our weekday preschool, you can contact Shawn Lewis.

Elementary (kindergarten–fourth grades)
Our elementary programming includes dynamic and fun large-group worship and small-group lessons at both the 9:00 am and 10:30 am hours every Sunday morning. Our goal is to help kids connect with strong leaders and build friendships at church. We consider it a privilege to be able to partner with parents in leading children to know and love God.

Our special summer programming includes a wonderful experience that is open to all children in our community—MAD Camp (music, art, and drama), which takes place the second week of June. The camp runs 9:00 am–noon for grades one through six and there is a performance that parents can attend on Friday and Sunday after the week of camp.

After MAD Camp we offer some specialized “MAD Camp 2.0” two- and three-day options. These camps include a tuition of $60–$75/week and run Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 9:00 am–1:00 pm. There are classes for ages 3 years old through the fourth grade. Our summer schedules are posted in March.

CCKids ministry is run by many amazing volunteers and led by: Shawn Lewis + Heather Medlar

Grades 5-8

Welcome to 5th-8th Grade Ministry, where voices crack, deodorant is optional, and loyalty is vital. Middle School Ministry is unique and has the most radical changes in your kid’s life while they are under your roof.

THIS IS A PHASE YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS. This phase is where they identify who they are, who they hang with, and if they will have a relationship with you. I don’t want to scare you away but I personally want to offer you some resources during this journey we like to call Middle School.

Sunday Morning Worship Experience
Students in grades 5-8 have one high-energy gathering every Sunday morning at 10:30 am in the gym. It’s a fast-moving experience that includes student-led worship, crazy games and competition, and a message designed just for middle school students.

Small Groups on Wednesdays
Discipleship groups, or D-groups, meet in the fall through spring, on Wednesday nights from 6:30–8:00 pm. These small groups are focused on what it means to follow Jesus as a middle school teen.

Special Events and Service Opportunities
Fall, spring, and summer trips happen each year that are designed to challenge middle school students’ faith while they are away from home. Our ministry travels to a large week-long conference every summer (sponsored by Christ in Youth) as we join many other youth groups across the country.

Fun events happen frequently, including outings to Kings Island, Laser Tag, and “Glow” nights.

Service opportunities are provided monthly on Wednesdays and include many different kinds of experiences, from visiting senior living centers to helping at the Matthew 25 ministry. We love serving in the church as well. We pack food, make dresses for children in Haiti, and fill bowls full of money for people to have food around the world.

Redeeming students back to God.

Sunday Morning Worship Experience
It is our desire that 9-12 students become integrated in the church; they are not the church of tomorrow, but the church of today. On Sunday mornings, students are encouraged to worship in the auditorium or serve somewhere in the church during the 9:00 am hour. Students can explore their gifts and passions in serving alongside leaders and staff in various areas throughout the church, including our children’s ministry, first impressions team, worship ministry, and special needs ministry.

Then, at 10:30 am every Sunday morning, we have a large-group worship experience that is held in the basement for all high school students. This time of worship features a student-led band, crazy games and contests, age-appropriate activities, and messages written with them in mind.

Small Groups
All students are encouraged to join a small group that meets in a home throughout the week during the school year. This is a great way for students to connect on a deeper level and be challenged to grow in their faith and in their leadership.

Parent Coalition
Christ’s Church high school ministry desires to come alongside parents of teens by communicating regularly with them. The goal of our Parent Coalition is to equip parents to better understand and lead their kids through our current culture. We provide gatherings for parents where we discuss issues such as anxiety, technology, managing personal crisis, understanding the teenage brain, and managing interpersonal conflict. All parents of teenagers in our community are invited to attend.

Special Events and Service Opportunities
Fall, spring, and summer trips happen each year that are designed to challenge high school students’ faith and draw them into community. Our ministry travels to a large week-long conference every summer as we join many other youth groups across the country.

Other regular activities include school outreaches, retreats, and mission trips where students can share their faith and discover their passions for ministry.
