Children's Ministry

 

 We Are "Kids of the King"

 

 

 We are blessed in having many programs and activities throughout the year here at Christ the King, for our babies, toddlers and children.  God has given us a vision:

 

To provide the children of Christ the King Anglican Church with Christ centered worship, education and activities in order that God may become known, worshipped and obeyed, and that each child may grow in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

 

Baby & Toddler Nurseries

        We have Good News for God’s littlest ones!

On Sundays, we provide a baby and toddler nursery from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm.  We have childcare for the 8:50 and 11:15 services as well as during the adult and children Sunday School time in-between these two services. 

 

When you bring your child to our nursery, you will be assigned a beeper during the time your little one is in our care.  If you are needed, we will page you.  Our Nursery provides an important bridge between the church and your home.

 

Our vision is to bring the Bible to life for babies and toddlers through a program titled, “Little Blessings” by Gospel Light.  This is a great way to introduce little ones to God’s Word as they take their first steps in God’s kingdom.

 

We thank you for the privilege to become a part of your child’s life!

Purpose Driven Kids for K5 thru Gr 4

 

Kids in Discipleship driven to share, play, study and discover how God works in the everyday lives of our kids through Scripture study, Bible stories and memorization, art and music, games, discussions and lots of laughter and love.

 

Grapple A pre-teen evening for 5th & 6th grade guys and gals.

 

Our preteens need more than the same repeated Bible lessons; they need Bible depth.  Grapple is specifically designed to get preteens grappling with tough questions in meaningful ways so they understand and own their faith.  Grapple gets kids into the Bible - like no other curriculum can!

 

Preteens love technology and choices and Grapple delivers both. They get thought provoking lessons plus a safe and secure website.

 

Grapple is the only preteen curriculum that offers an online community during the week!  They will dig into the Bible to grapple with faith and life issues.  Each topic is approved by a preteen panel, so they will stay relevant, week after week.

 


     Jr. Kid's Church  &  Children's Church                    Our children's services begin at 8:50 am every Sunday

 

Jr. Kid's Church  for preschoolers, age 3-5, is a special service designed    

                                       just for them with Bible stories and puppets, music and                  

                                       prayer, snacks, crafts and games all focused to give these                  

                                       children an understanding of God’s love for them.

  

   Children's Church  is designed for children ages 6-11.  These children share                          

                                      in God's Word through reading the Bible, offering their 

                                      petitions and joyful singing unto the Lord with guitar  

                                      accompaniment!   We follow the Eucharist Rite II service. 

 

                                                

 

Both groups will enter the church at the “Peace” for Fr. Don’s children’s sermon and then join their families for the remainder of the service.        


Children's Sunday School

 

Please check out the scope and sequence for your child’s group:

Sunday School Curriculum

Content Scope and Sequence (on right)

 

We use Gospel Light, which is designed to reach kids right where they are.   Children will go through the Bible four times by the time they complete Grade 6.  That's why all our teaching resources are solidly based on God's Word.  This is done through hands-on activities that engage their intense curiosity and openness to learning new things plus a dedicated team of volunteers who love Our Lord and your children! 

Children learn biblical truths and how to apply them in their young lives.  Music, games, art projects, skits and other fun activities draw children to God and His love!
 
 
 

K4 and K5

 

What could be more important, and more exciting, than teaching little children about God?  Nothing!   Goals for this age group:

  • Know that God loves and cares for us; that God sent Jesus to show His love for us; that God's Word helps us learn about the greatness and goodness of God and the Lord Jesus.

Respond by demonstrating love for God through kindness, helpfulness and thankfulness; by talking to God in prayer

 

 

Grades 1 and 2

 

Prime Time is packed with activities that spotlight the emerging reading skills and enthusiasm for learning of kids ages 6 to 8.  Bible stories focus on Jesus' teachings, parables, and resurrection taken from passages in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts.

The goals for this age group include:

  • Know that God loves and helps us and has a plan for our lives; that God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus, to be our Savior.
  • Respond by trusting Jesus as Savior; by choosing ways to show love for God and obedience to His Word; by telling others about Jesus.

 


AN EXCITING PLACE TO DISCOVER!

for Grades 3 and 4

Children in this age group are exploring the truth and finding it in God’s Word.   Goals for this age group:

  • Know that God loves and helps us and has a plan for our lives; that God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus, to be our Savior.
  • Respond by trusting Jesus as Savior; by choosing ways to show love for God and obedience to His Word; by telling others about Jesus.

Through biblical study these 8- to 10-year-olds are discovering that their solid foundation for life will come from Our Lord. This curriculum recognizes their love for crazy fun and their readiness to know what real life and real faith is like.

 

For Grades 5 and 6


The Edge has been designed for pre-teen
small-group discussions and activities that will lead students to a strong foundation of faith. This spiritual foundation will enable students to live as Jesus wants them to, even in the face of the peer pressure that they all experience during this new phase of their lives.  Our prayerful goal is to provide your children with rock solid Bible teaching and be the supporting mechanism for you to raise your children in Christ.

 

Gospel Light provides those tools in helping us to do this.  Goals for this age group:

  • Know that God wants us to trust, love and obey Him; that God can help us grow in Christian maturity.
  • Respond by trusting Jesus as Savior; by serving Jesus in his or her own church; by demonstrating attitudes and actions that reflect love for Jesus.
