Children's Ministry

children

Have you got children that you would like to bring to church? We run specific programs just for them!

Our aim is to make sure every child can be themselves in a safe and welcoming environment. Our children's workers are appointed solely by interviews, undergo thorough background checks, and receive training in first aid and safeguarding.

Our desire is that the children have a wonderful time learning more about Jesus and connecting with Him while prioritizing their safety.

See our Sunday Service page to see which ages we cater to, and what groups your child/children will be in.

If you have any questions about our programs or would like to have more information, please fill in our Contact Us form.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so you can know exactly what to expect at our Sunday service.

Where and When

We currently meet in a home for our Sunday service at 4:00 p.m. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to find a seat and get settled. You’ll be greeted at the door by someone from our Welcome Team.

We meet at:

10143 Sumter Court, Cedar Lake IN 46303

There is parking available on-site.

Our Service

There is no dress code here, so please just come as you are. Our service begins at 4:00 p.m. with a warm welcome followed by a time of worship. We typically have 3 or 4 songs. During this time, you may hear members pray out loud or read a small passage from the Bible. Sometimes people might share something that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. This might be a new experience for you, but it’s a natural part of how we connect with God together.

After a brief look at church news, one of our leaders shares a practical, biblically-based message. At the end of the service, there is an opportunity to receive prayer if you would like.

What about my kids?

We love having the whole church family worshipping God together! Children stay with their parents at the start of the service (welcome, songs, and announcements). We'll then announce when it's time for the younger members to head to their groups:

Nursery (0-3 years) A fun space for toddlers. (Infants <6 months are welcome to use the space, but must be accompanied by a parent.)
Pebbles (3-11 years) A mix of Bible stories, music, crafts, and games.
Youth (11-18 years) Our teens stay in the main service for the sermon. (Click here for more details about our youth group.)

Safety & Registration: You will need to go with your children to register them as part of our child safety policy. While you're dropping them off, we'll take a short "chat break" to give you a chance to come back before the sermon begins. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.

Stay for food: On the first Sunday of every month, please join us for a free community meal after the service. As our guest, we'd love to serve you and get to know you better!

Getting Connected

Sundays are great, but our Small Groups are where you can really build friendships and find support. We would love to put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

We also invite you to join our Alpha course -- a relaxed space to explore the big questions of life and faith.

We hope, whoever you are, that you will feel at home at our church.
