Kids

Children and their families are special to God. At Central, we desire to join parents on their life’s journey of sharing God’s love with their family. Our Children’s Ministries includes programs for kids all of ages.

Preschool Ministry

Central’s preschooler ministry includes children from birth to kindergarten. Preschoolers are special in that they develop their faith in Jesus through learning to trust the people around them. Our teachers and volunteers have passed background checks. They also seek to create a safe, trusting environment that teaches about God’s love for our children. Preschoolers are provided the opportunity to learn through age-appropriate methods. Central’s preschool ministry provides a variety of programs that assist parents in laying the foundation for a relationship with Jesus.

Central Kids Ministry

Our Central Kids ministry is for children in grades 1st – 6th. We provide enriching time of learning and activities that helps build on their foundation of faith. All volunteers and teachers have passed  background checks and gone through training. We teach  all children to learn scripture, to grow their Bible knowledge, and learn more about church work and missions. It is our desire that children enter into a lasting relationship with Jesus and that they understand their vital role in the church.
