Welcome to Central Kids

Sunday is Their Favourite Day.

Our fantastic team of trained staff and volunteers are dedicated to ensuring your kids have a blast while you’re enjoying the Sunday Experience in our main auditorium. If you have any questions about our programming, you can reach out to our Kids Team at nextgen@centralcc.ca. We look forward to welcoming your family soon.

Who says church can’t be fun?

Your First Sunday

Check-In is Easy.

01

20 Minutes Early

Give Yourself a Few Extra Minutes.

If you’re visiting for the first time, we suggest arriving about 20 minutes before our 9:00am or 11:00am start time. That gives us time to get your family set up without rushing.

You’re Set

We’ll Take It From There.

We’ll register your family and show you around our secured kids’ area. We want you to feel safe knowing your child is in good hands. That’s even our motto: “They’re in good hands.”

Our nursery is a loving environment for your baby and toddler. We know it can be hard to leave your little one, and so we want to make that transition as easy as possible for you. Our caring, trained volunteers will ensure your baby receives the personal attention they need, allowing you to have some time to yourself to enjoy our Experience uninterrupted.

Preschool

Ages 2 to 3 · Jr. Kids wing

Our Preschool room is all about two things: discovery and fun! We want your children to feel like they belong and have a blast while they’re here. With age-appropriate programming, your kids will learn that God made them and loves them.

Kidopolis

Grades 1 to 5 · Auditorium B

Kidopolis is our high-energy, supercharged program for grade school kids. Each Sunday, they learn how to live a life like Christ through fun games, awesome music and a Bible lesson tailored to their age and interests.

For Parents

We’re In This Together.

We want to be a part of your child’s growth in their faith.

One of our goals at Central Kids is to partner with families and help you as you lead your child in the ways of God. Each Sunday in our Kids’ Experience, your child learns a new Bible story. With the Parent Cue app, you can connect with your kids about what they learned throughout the week. There are also four devotionals each week and a monthly memory verse you can do together, all found on the app.

Download the app, then follow the prompts to add Central Community Church.
