A safe place to learn, grow, and have a blast.
Church should be fun at any age. Every lesson is built so a kid can actually understand and remember it — and every leader is background-checked and trained before they're in a room.
Age-appropriate, all the way down.
CKidz runs at all three Sunday services — 8:15, 10:00, and 11:30 AM.
Infants
A calm room where babies are held, prayed over, and comforted while you worship. Rockers, a quiet corner, and someone who will text you if you're needed.
Toddlers
Making first friends and meeting God through songs, simple Bible stories, and a lot of moving around.
Preschoolers
Growing in God's presence through teaching, activities, snacks, and worship built for a four-year-old attention span.
Elementary
Deeper Bible teaching, real worship, and small group discussion centered on Christ — where kids get to ask their own questions.
Here's exactly how check-in works.
We help you register
Come to the CKidz desk about fifteen minutes early. Someone walks you through it — it's a short form, once.
You tell us what we need to know
Allergies, medical needs, special needs, anything about how your child does in a new room. We'd rather know than guess.
Matching code stickers
Your child gets one, you get the other. The codes match. Only the person holding the matching sticker can pick up — no exceptions, including for people we know.
We'll come get you if you're needed
If your child needs you, we find you. You don't have to keep checking.
The part parents care most about.
Every leader is checked
Background check and training before a volunteer is in a room with kids. Not eventually — before.
Secure check-in and pickup
Matching code stickers on every child and every guardian. No matching sticker, no pickup.
Allergies and needs on file
Recorded at registration and visible to the leaders in your child's room, every week.
Can my child stay with me instead?
Absolutely. Kids are welcome in the main service. Some families do CKidz every week, some never, some depends-on-the-morning. All three are normal.
What if my child won't settle?
We'll try for a few minutes, and if it isn't working we'll come find you. Nobody is going to let a kid cry it out so you don't miss the sermon.
My child has special needs. Can you accommodate?
Tell us ahead of time and we'll plan for it — email Kasimir directly and we'll talk through what your child needs before you arrive.
Is there anything for students, older than 5th grade?
Students are in the main service on Sundays — and once a month there's The WKND, our youth experience for grades 6th–12th.
Will CKidz run at the Lake County campus?
Yes, from week one. October 18.
Everything you need before Sunday.
Our team will get you registered, ask about any allergies or special needs your child may have, and get your contact information.
