Beauty Of Jesus
C3Kids exists to show the beauty of Jesus to children and families by equipping them to know, love, and serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
Each Sunday in C3Kids, our children are taught Biblical truths through worship songs, Bible stories, games, and crafts. We encourage children and families to memorize Scripture, learn catechism through song, and talk about Jesus throughout the course of the week using guided resources from C3Kids.
Our 9am Equip Hour has classes for 9months – 12th grade.
Our 10:30am Worship Service has classes for 9 months – 3rd grade. Our 4th – 12th graders can either serve as Junior Helpers in C3Kids or attend the main worship service.Â
equip Hour CHECK-IN BEGINS AT 8:50AM
Worship Service CHECK-IN BEGINS AFter the opening songs (10:45ish)
It is a joy to partner with parents in discipling their children to know the truths about God (Deuteronomy 6:4) as well as to have hearts that love God (Deuteronomy 6:5). Our hope is that these little ones will so fall in love with our Lord that they will spend the rest of their lives serving Him and others with joy!

C3KIDS F.A.Q.
WHERE DO I TAKE MY KIDS ON SUNDAY?
All of our ministries are under one roof and there are signs and people to help you get to the C3Kids area of our building. All children are checked in at a station in the C3Kids lobby. Equip Hour check-in begins at 8:50am. Worship Service check-in begins after the opening songs, around 10:45am. You and each child will be given a check-in code. You must have this check-in code to enter the C3Kids classroom area and to pick up your child at the end of the service. You will be texted if we need to contact you for any reason during service. Babies, Toddlers, Pre-K, and Elementary all meet in separate classrooms. You don’t have to memorize any of this, our friendly volunteers will direct you where to go.
WHERE SHOULD I PARK?
We have one big parking lot around our building, so parking is super simple. Feel free to park anywhere and use any entrance, but there is a Family Entrance on the west side of the building that serves as a short cut to the C3Kids area.
WHAT ARE YOUR SAFETY POLICIES?
The safety of our children is priority number one in all affairs of the ministry. We perform background checks and MinistrySafe trainings with every team member. Team members also receive regular training on classroom management, non-physical discipline techniques, and whole child well-being. They wear a C3Kids shirt and name tag. For security purposes, parents may not enter the C3Kids area without a valid check-in sticker or without being escorted by a volunteer. Trained Safety Team members are on patrol throughout our campus all morning. Under no circumstances is any team member allowed to be alone with a child or children. All bathroom breaks must be done with two volunteers escorting the children at all times, and no children are allowed to be alone, unsupervised, in the bathrooms.
WHO RECEIVES SNACKS IN C3KIDS?
Children in the Toddler through Elementary classes will be offered a snack of Goldfish and water. If your child has a specific food allergy or dietary restrictions that keep them from eating the provided snacks, please note that upon check-in and bring an individual snack to their teacher. For babies, please bring a bottle along with instructions for when to give it (if required), or make use of our nursing area located near the C3Kids lobby. We also offer Gerber Puffs for crawling infants.
WHAT DO YOU TEACH IN C3KIDS?
All that we do and teach is based upon the truth of the Bible. The Gospel truth of the Bible is what will ultimately change children into followers of Jesus. Therefore, we work hard to teach our children with a gospel-centered focus from the Scriptures. We are currently using The Biggest Storry curriculum by Kevin DeYoung, which helps children understand God’s plan to redeem the world through his Son, Jesus in each of it’s lessons.Â
WHAT ABOUT HEALTH CONCERNS?
We have a 24 hour well policy, which means that children must be free of fever, vomiting, rash, pink eye, head lice, or illness for at least 24 hours before entering the C3Kids area.
***Please notify us upon check-in if your child has any allergies or special needs. Their specific need or allergy will be printed on their name tag to alert the volunteers working with your child that day.***
WHAT ABOUT OLDER CHILDREN?
Our Equip Hour serves childern all the way from 9 months through 12th grade in different classes divided by age group. During Worship Service our 4th through 12th graders can serve in C3kids as Junior Helpers or attend the main worship service. We do believe it is important for children to witness their parents worshipping Christ and studying their Bible. If you have middle and high schoolers, check out our Arise Student Ministry page for details on their meeting times.
