Children's Ministry Mission Statement
Welcome to CtK's Children's Ministry

It is the mission of Christ the King to nurture our children as they grow in relationship with one another through Jesus Christ.  We offer our children many ways to experience and respond to the love of God through educational programs, music groups, and fellowship opportunities.

--------------- Our Children's Ministry Programs ---------------

Activities for Children from Birth through Age 4
Preschool Sunday School
Every Sunday from 9:30-10:30am, children ages 2-4 gather in our preschool wing for lively lessons, activities and Chapel. Through the Living the Good News curriculum, which follows the Revised Common Lectionary, children learn about their faith through scripture in age-appropriate ways. Kids look forward to innovative and colorful sessions that include visual arts, great music and memorable literature. Students bring their learning home with take-home papers that help parents get concrete suggestions for exploring session themes with their families.

KidZone!

This is not your parents’ Sunday school class!  Every Sunday from 9:30-10:30am, children in Kindergarten through 5th grade gather for KidZone – their own special blend of worship, drama, storytelling, and Bible exploration! Through the Living the Good News curriculum, which follows the Revised Common Lectionary, children learn about their faith through scripture in age-appropriate ways. Kids look forward to innovative and colorful sessions that include visual arts, great music and memorable literature. Students bring their learning home with take-home papers that help parents get concrete suggestions for exploring session themes with their families.

Activities for Children from Kindergarten through 5th Grade
Friends' Night

Join us after Wednesday Night Dinner, from 6:25-7pm, for Friends’ Night – a chance to get moving and learning about faith, relationships, and serving others at engaging Discovery Centers. Everyone will feel welcome – even if they don’t go to church!

The Net - The Official Newsletter of CtK's Children's Ministry

There is SO MUCH going on in the Children’s Ministry at Christ the King that we simply couldn’t put it all in “Connections” - the church-wide newsletter.  So here we are in “The Net.”  The name has a two-fold meaning: first, look at this passage of Scripture from the book of Mark when Jesus calls his first disciples (Mark 1:16-20).  Did you know we’re all called to use Christ’s net to fish for people?  “The Net” is also a short name for a network—some way of communicating that keeps people informed of events and happenings.  So "The Net” is our avenue of communication  to let all people know about the ministry and outreach opportunities of the Children’s Ministry at CtK!

It is my hope and prayer that you will look forward to receiving your copy of “The Net” every other month, because you just can’t wait to see what’s in store for your child(ren) - and you!  I hope that the information contained therein will also serve as a tool not only to keep you better informed as parents, but also to get your friends and neighbors excited about the ministry opportunities here at CtK as you invite them to participate and discover the one thing that God requires of us—to grow in a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Him!

If you're not getting "The Net," you can e-mail us your name and address and we'll be happy to add you to our mailing list!
