We are a community blessed with many children! We believe as a church, we are called to nurture and celebrate children as full participants in the Christian community. Children are always welcome in worship at Christ Church.  We understand a child’s need to move around and be active during worship, and provide activity boxes and a book cart in the milling area. We also provide a parent’s nursery (near the nursery), where parents can listen to the service while nursing, caring for, or playing with their young children. We are thrilled to have our children’s choirs sing often during worship, and encourage children to serve as readers, ushers, and acolytes.

Kids’ Quest is an exciting children’s education program held on Saturday evening (5:30) and Sunday morning (8:50 and 10:35) for kids Age 2-5th Grade. 

Preschool children are in the downstairs of the Education Building and Elementary age children meet in the upstairs.  Newcomers, visitors, and friends are always welcome!

Kids' Quest uses the Spark! Rotation Model to help children travel along their faith journey. KidsQuest allows for children to learn in several different ways—art, music, drama, games, cooking, and more.  No more sitting still and quiet during children’s education time—Kids' Quest lets kids be kids! 

Nursery care is provided for children under four during Saturday worship and for children under three during Sunday worship. Nursery care is available 15 minutes before worship begins.  Our nursery is staffed by well trained, nurturing professional staff as well as parent volunteers. Our security procedures include safety labels and pagers available at check-in.  The nursery is located down the hallway to the left as  you enter the worship building. If your family uses the nursery regularly, we ask that you register him or her, so we will have complete information about your child.

Children’s Chapel is held during the 9:00 service on Sunday morning, and is for children age three through the first grade. Chapel leaders lead the children in storytime, music, prayers, and sometimes art.  Children begin worship in the sanctuary and are then led to the Education Building, returning to their parents for communion. If your child regularly attends Children’s Chapel, please complete a Chapel Registration Form, so that we can have complete information about your child.

All of our children’s ministry programs are possible because of people who serve with their time, talents, and energy.  Some areas where we need help are:

·        Leading children between workshops during Kids' Quest

·          Teaching a workshop for a 5 or 6 week rotation

·          Greeting children before Kids' Quest

·          Leading a high-energy and fun opening during Kids' Quest

·          Decorating classrooms, cleaning out closets, etc.

·          Staying to help in the nursery during worship

·          Many other ways!
