Kids' City (Infant - 4th grade)
Welcome to Kids' City, the children's ministry at Community reaching out to kids ages zero to twos, preschool and elementary. What makes us unique? We want to help families raise growing, 3C Christ-followers!
We teach children not only to understand biblical truths, but how to live them out in their everyday lives. We promise to be Bible-based, child-centered, relational, relevant, creative, and of course fun!

Kids' City goes ORANGE!
We are super excited here in Kid's City to roll out our brand new curriculum and strategy for infants through 5th grade starting in January!! We believe that this will bring Kids' City to the next level here at COMMUNITY, challenging our kids, parents and leaders to grow in their faith and relationships with each other.
Here in Kids' City we are committed to helping families raise growing 3C Christ-followers so we provide fun and child-centered, Bible-based opportunities for kids to experience the 3C's: Celebrate, Connect, and Contribute. Starting this month we will begin using an outstanding curriculum produced by ORANGE. It is more than a curriculum. It is a strategy for reaching and equipping kids and families. ORANGE is about combining critical influences to fuel faith in the next generation! We believe this curriculum will help us engage children in the complete story of God while helping kids discover the active part they can play in this life-long adventure, to be more like Him.
Our children birth through Kindergarten will experience the "First Look" curriculum and our Elementary children (1st-5th grade) will experience "252 Basics." Every month we will cover one BIG IDEA, a core virtue that shows God's character. It is reinforced with key Bible stories, a monthly memory verse and amazing resources to use at home. We want kids to know God's big story and help them discover the active part they can play in this life-long adventure, to be more like Him.
As you may know in the past we have written our own curriculum as part of the Big Idea, so using this new curriculum means that the Big Idea just looks a little different. Even though kids and parents won't be discussing the same topic on the same day, there will be lots of ways to dive into what kids are learning at their own age appropriate level! This curriculum will provide outstanding resources and opportunities for spiritual conversations using the web, a phone app, take home papers and more. If your kids love Kids' City, they will not be disappointed. And parents, you can know that your child is learning spiritual truths and principals that will be with them for a lifetime and that apply to where they are at right now.
