Children's Ministry

Children's Ministry

Children are important to Central, and we do everything we can to make their church experience great. Their learning environments are bright and inviting; our volunteers are warm and welcoming; and our programs are relevant and interactive. 

Your children's safety is also important to us, and we want you to know that they are in good hands. All of our volunteers and staff members undergo background checks and on Sundays, the Education Building features a hall monitor to keep your children safe when you are worshiping in the sanctuary.

Check out some of our programs below, and be sure to check out the Sunday School program here.

If you have questions, contact Rev. Paige Wolfe

Children in Worship
Central loves children and we know it can be hard for the little ones to sit through a whole worship service. So, each Sunday, children can pick up their own bulletin, which includes coloring pages and activities, and a bag of crayons.  Then, about 15 minutes into the service, children get to hear a special sermon prepared just for them. Afterwards, children ages 3-5 may go to Children's Church for a Bible lesson and activities. 
We haven't forgotten our littlest ones. If your baby needs a break or needs to be fed, we have a Nursery as well as a Nursing Room just for you!

Nursery and Nursing Room
Central features a room for our littlest members. The Children's Church Room in the fellowship building is a space for babies, crawlers, and toddlers which features fun interactive toys for their different learning stages. Our staff member, Scotti Killian, gives each child the love and care they deserve. She shares stories of God's love with children through reading and age-appropriate activities. Staff and volunteers gather information to contact parents during the service via text or in person in case of emergencies. For nursing members and guests, there is a nursing room across the hall from the Children's Church Room.

Wednesday Night Children's Gathering
After Wednesday Night Supper, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., children go to the Children's Church room for a time of fun and learning.  Lessons can include a combination of Bible stories, crafts, and recreation.  This mid-week program helps children connect with the church between Sundays and strengthens their bond with their Christian friends.

Other Children's Activities
There are a variety of activities for children throughout the year to help them grow in Christ and grow in their relationship with each other.   Fellowship activities include a back to school party, Christmas party, field trips, and the Fall Festival.  Growing experiences include Promotion Sunday, Easter Celebration, Vacation Bible School, Children's choir, Acolyte training, and Children's Sabbath.
