Vision
Christ Church Children’s Ministry seeks to teach kids to be with Jesus, to become like Jesus and to live like Jesus in the world. To do this, Children’s Ministry offers supervised Biblical learning in a joyful and child-centered environment. Some highlights of 2024 include a 30% increase in our Nursery, Preschool and Kindergarten programs. We had 15+ volunteers and 5+ youth helpers in 2024.
Goals for 2025
Maintain visibility of Children’s Ministry by posting the Sunday School teaching goal and memory verse for the month at both services. Also having a presentation of Bibles during the services in the spring.
Provide seasonal materials to parents so that they can engage in Kitchentable Discipleship.
VBS 2025 is our outreach to the children in our community. For 2025 we are using a curriculum titled ‘True North: Trusting Jesus in a Wild World’.

SCUBA: DIVE INTO FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD
We had another wonderful week of VBS in June 2024. This outreach mission draws kids from Christ Church as well as many attendees from our community. The theme, Scuba, had the kids diving into knowing and growing in relationship with God.
We had 123 kids, over 65 volunteers and 35+ donors. Our Christ Church community pulled together to share the love of God with each other. The children enjoyed singing new songs, playing and meeting friends and most importantly learning all about God’s love and friendship and how to show that love in the world around them. We are proud of the 24 professions of faith during the week of adventure.
