Our Vision
Here at CLC, we partner with parents in empowering their children to develop lifelong relationships with Jesus Christ. Together we create an atmosphere for children of all ages to encounter God’s love and truth, hear His voice, and experience the supernatural presence and power of the Holy Spirit. We are committed to discipling children; as well as encouraging parents to minister to their children and come alongside them in becoming followers of Jesus Christ.
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 NKJV
Childcare is available for babies through kindergarten during all services.
Grades 1-6 are invited to attend Faith Factory during Sunday Services at 9:00 and 11:00 am.
Age Groups
God's Creations Nursery: birth to 12 months
Our nursery is designed to meet the needs of families with babies. Our team is dedicated to ministering to babies and nursing mothers.
Little Loves Toddlers: 12 months to 2 years
The key word for toddlers is mobile. Our toddler classroom is designed to provide these young explorers with a safe environment to explore in and receive Bible lessons created for their age.
*Currently Little Loves and Friends of Jesus share the same classroom space. As attendance grows, they will be separated.
Friends of Jesus: 3 years to kindergarten
The preschool years are a time when children learn who Jesus is and begin to experience His love. Our Friends of Jesus classroom is designed to guide children’s spiritual growth and lay a foundation for them to enter into a personal relationship with Jesus.
*Currently Little Loves and Friends of Jesus share the same classroom space. As attendance grows, they will be separated.
Faith Factory: grades 1 to 6
Children learn differently than adults, so we want to present the timeless truth of God in a kid friendly manner. Our services are presented to keep children engaged from start to finish. Our goal in Children’s Church is to help children develop an understanding of our basic beliefs and why we believe them.
Baby Dedications
Children are an incredibly precious gift from God! That’s why, one Sunday each quarter, we invite families to formally dedicate their children to the Lord. This ceremony is held before our entire church family at the conclusion of second service. We encourage these families to invite their relatives and friends to attend.
Visit our Events page to see when the next Baby Dedication is scheduled and follow the link to sign up. If one is not listed, please contact the church office for more information.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to bring?
When you and your family arrive for CLC Children’s Church, all you need to bring is a child ready to have FUN and learn about Jesus in a safe, clean and fun environment! We have everything your child will need to have a great time! In addition, we provide changing stations, wipes and diapers.
What about my child's health?
We take the health of your family and our team seriously. Every classroom is thoroughly cleaned before services. Our team members only serve when they are feeling well. If your child is feeling ill (fever, vomiting, sore throat, green mucus, etc.) we will ask that your child stay with you during service. Thank you!
What about snacks and allergies?
Due to the number of children in our care with allergies, we do not allow snacks in our classrooms. However, we do provide snacks in our nursery; parents are given the option of allowing our team to offer Gold Fish and juice boxes. Gluten free options are available upon request.
A “Nursing Moms Room” is open for moms who desire privacy to feed their little ones. We live stream our services into this room so you won’t miss any of the service.
Is there a check-in system?
Your child’s safety is a priority here at CLC. We have a check-in system that every family can navigate quickly and easily. This will ensure your child is safe at all times and assigned to an age-appropriate classroom.
Are my children safe?
CLC is committed to providing a safe environment for all children, families, and volunteers. Every Children’s Church Leader and Volunteer is background checked. Every classroom has a minimum of 1 adult. Only Children’s Church Volunteers are allowed in the Children’s Church areas.
I have questions about Children's Church
Our team is ready to assist you with any additional questions. Please fill out the contact form at the bottom of this page and one of our ministry leaders will respond within 24 hours.
What curriculum does Children's Church use?
We use curriculum from “Orange.” Parents are sent home with a “Parent Cue,” which offers insight into what is being taught in the classroom each month, as well as helpful prompts for parents to continue the conversation at home. Orange curriculum combines child development and theology to create a comprehensive children’s ministry curriculum and strategy to help our children grow up making wiser choices, building stronger relationships, and developing deeper faith.
Volunteers Make the Difference!
Volunteers are the hearts and hands of every ministry here at CLC. We love God. We are disciples of Jesus and walk out the Word daily. Our heart’s desire is to serve The Lord by loving and serving His little children. Do you have a heart to serve and demonstrate the Love of Christ? Are you flexible and teachable?
