COF KIDS

OUR PURPOSE: To partner with parents to lead kids to a thriving life with Jesus.


Every Sunday, babies through fifth-grade kids experience safe, age-appropriate environments where the Bible is taught in a creative and relevant way. We would love for you and your family to visit COF kids this Sunday. Join the fun and experience a world where kids meet Jesus on their level!

COF Kids meets on Sundays at 9:30 and 11:30am.
You can also follow COFKids on Facebook for updates.

YOUR FIRST VISIT

From the moment you pull in the parking lot, you’ll notice lots of friendly faces eager to show you the way.

Your first stop when you arrive is the first-time check in area. We want to serve you and your child well, so we’ll take some time to get to know you. We’ll ask about allergies, make sure we know what your child likes to be called, and collect your contact information.

Then, you and your child will both get a sticker with a matching code. If for any reason we need to reach you during the service, one of our team members will send you a text at the number you provided. This sticker is also what you’ll use to pick up your child after the service.

THE RIDE HOME

We encourage parents to keep the conversation going on the car ride home. Our goal is to have a positive answer to both of those questions each week. 

Ask your child these two questions:
Did you have fun?
What did you learn?

WHAT WE VALUE

The Bible
The Bible is the most amazing book ever written! We bring Bible stories to life through activities and conversations that keep children engaged. We want all children to love God’s Word and understand its value in their lives.

Relationships
We want kids to know there are people at church who care about them. As families commit to attending the same service each week, children are placed in a small group of familiar faces where relationships can grow.

Age-Appropriate Learning
Everything from our environments, to the language we use in our lessons, to our small group materials are created with your child’s age and stage in mind.

Safety
We take lots of steps before kids arrive to keep them safe. Every toy and environment gets cleaned and sanitized. And, every volunteer is screened with an interview and federal background check. Our whole team — from staff members to small group leaders to safety personnel — are trained to keep your kids safe.

Fun
Kids love fun! We create fun ways for children to learn about Jesus, including games, activities, singing, and live acting. When children have fun at church, they can’t wait to come back.

Nursery/PRESCHOOL

Whether your child is a newborn baby or a 5-year-old headed to kindergarten, they will love being a part of our preschool ministry. Our team will make your children feel at home and relaxed. They will visit a secure, indoor play area during their time with us, and enjoy age-specific toys in the classrooms. For parents, we have a live video feed of each room, outside the children’s area, so you can see how your child is doing.

 

Kindergarten-1ST

Fun-filled creative lessons are designed specifically for this age group. They will have a blast learning how to love God and others while participating in worship, games, and crafts!

2ND-3RD

Each week, your children will experience the excitement of a service packed with worship, crazy games, and creative lessons. They will enjoy making friends and they will learn how to apply Biblical principles to their everyday lives.

 

4TH-5TH

Your child will be blown away by the cool atmosphere created especially for them! They will experience high-energy worship and a life-impacting lesson with an edgy feel. Have them come early to play a game of pool or ping-pong, or to check out the video games and lounge areas to hang with their friends! They will have a BLAST!

PARENT/CHILD DEDICATION

We believe that children are a gift from God. During Parent Child Dedication (PCD), parents publicly declare their intentions to raise their child(ren), teaching them about the love of Christ and the hope He brings to all. As a church, we commit to support the parents and help guide them in this endeavor.

PCD occurs multiple times per year on specified dates. Parents have the option of participating at either the 9:30 or 11:30am service that day. You will come up on stage with your child/family member for this special moment at the beginning of the service. Then, after the service, you will be invited to take a professional photo with your loved ones.

BAPTISM

Baptism declares to the world you’ve trusted Jesus, joined God’s family, and made a commitment to follow Him, heart and soul. 
We baptize all ages (children-adults). If you have children who haven't yet been baptized, we offer classes for parents, students and/or kids, so everyone in your family can understand the significance of baptism. Many families choose to be baptized together. We encourage you to reach out and let us know how we can walk you and your family through this life-changing experience.
