city on a hill kids

Our CoaH Kids ministry is provided for your children during our Sunday Morning gathering. It will currently serve children 3 months through Kindergarten. Each of our adult volunteers have been trained and have gone through an interview process and a national background check to ensure that all kids will be safe, have fun and learn about the good news of Jesus with kind and caring leaders. At CoaH Kids, even the youngest children hear the story of Jesus Christ and are prayed for on a weekly basis. We are all about our 3 CoaH Kids’ goals - fun, safe and Gospel-centered.

Check in:

When you visit with us, you will be greeted by trained team members as you walk in the doors. They will guide you through the process of checking in your child and finding their classroom. Each guardian and their child will receive an ID sticker with a claim tag and a unique code to care best for your family. Looking forward to meeting you soon!

fun

What are the first two questions every parent asks their child when they get home from school or church? “What did you learn? Did you have fun?” We recognize this and know that all kids love having fun. We try to make learning about Jesus as fun as possible for all kids when they come through our doors!

Safety

The safety of your child is our highest priority. All of our volunteer members have been through an application and interview process as well as a thorough background check and training. Also, we'll give you and your child a name tag with a unique identification code during check-in. Parents must provide a tag with a matching identification number in order to pick up their child.

Gospel Centered Teaching

CoaH Kids isn't childcare; it's a children’s ministry. The difference between the two are subtle, yet very important. The goal of childcare is to watch your child while you go to service. Our goal in CoaH Kids is to allow children to engage with the same message and community you enjoy. We use The Biggest Story curriculum to teach children the stories of the Bible... and that they all point to God's redemptive plan in Jesus.

Age Groups to be established in the future

Nursery (3 months – Under 2 years old)

Your child is very important to us. Our nursery is staffed with caring, well trained adults. There are plenty of age-appropriate toys and opportunities to interact with others. Parents can feel confident their little ones are getting personal care in a safe and nurturing environment.

Toddlers (2 – 3 years old)

Our toddler classrooms will be designed especially for a toddlers’ inquisitive nature. They will get the chance to channel their creativity at arts and crafts time, learn songs at circle time and play games that prepare them to learn a weekly multimedia Bible lesson taught by the Gospel Project Curriculum. There will also be time to munch on classroom snacks and participate in free play.

Preschool (4 – 5 years old)

We all know how enthusiastic preschoolers can be. Our teachers love to help them channel that enthusiasm in a way that helps them learn as well. After craft time, preschoolers will gather for music and an activity that makes them get on their toes and put on their thinking caps. It might be a treasure hunt or a guessing game. No matter what it is, they have fun! Then kids will take part in a multimedia Bible lesson taught by the Gospel Project Curriculum. After that, they will get together for a group activity that helps keep the lesson of the day fresh in their minds. Lastly, they will enjoy a snack time followed by some age-appropriate games.

Elementary (Kindergarten – 2nd Grade)

Our elementary classroom will be set up to combine high energy activities with opportunities to build friendships and learning. They will start with arts and crafts, then move into live relationship-building games designed to help them learn how to work together. Each Sunday, they will take part in a multimedia Bible lesson taught by the Gospel Project Curriculum. After that, they will join together for another activity to help them remember what they learned.

Elementary (3rd – 5th Grade)

Our 3rd – 5th graders will be invited to join our worship gathering where they will receive a kid’s activity that allows them to have fun and follow along with the service. More information will be added on this classroom as we finalize details and move closer to establishing this classroom for our CoaH Kids Ministry!
