cfKidz Classes

On your first visit, we encourage you to come about 10 minutes before the start of the service to register your child(ren) for children’s ministry. On your first visit, we require all guardians checking in children to provide a first and last name and phone number. Required children’s information includes their name, DOB, gender, and special needs/allergies. We encourage you to familiarize your child(ren) with the space and linger with them until they are comfortable with their class and leader. This is especially important as we transition to bringing children to large group settings if they have not been to “in person” events in the last number of months.

Nursing Mother’s Room: We have a room dedicated to nursing mothers that has comfortable seating, low lights, streamed service, bottled water, and a changing table.

Family Rooms: We understand that life with infants and toddlers means there is a lot of time you are not participating in the service while you are in the auditorium. We have many options for you to go to on a Sunday morning if you need a different location for a clingy and busy toddler or a fussy baby who needs to be walked while fed. We have comfortable couches and a microwave and fridge available for taking care of mama’s milk. Until we are back at full capacity, our blue room is equipped with toys and a live stream feed of the service and is available for families as well. This is an ideal way to transition children in the separation anxiety stage to nursery care.

When these times are offered, they are noted alongside the registration for that particular group/class. If your group would like to receive childcare services, please contact us for more information as we support all areas of ministry in the church.

Discipleship Team

Serving in cfKidz

While making disciples and serving one another are at the core of who we are, all team members who serve are required to first complete our screening process, which includes attending CF regularly before serving, background check completion, and training.

Our ministry is primarily staffed by volunteers who are adults and youth who serve our children ages 0-11 years old. We offer a range of enrichment and learning opportunities in small group environments where transparency and growth are encouraged as a team.

Serving on our teams happens on a rotating basis, so that everyone is encouraged to receive ministry and participate in growth as well as serve one another.

You are invited to join our cfKidz discipleship team.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Parent Coaching

Let’s be honest, there are so many moments in parenting that are beyond what we can manage and deal with alone. In fact, it is because we are not meant to parent in isolation. We are a community of people who walks authentically in the mess and joys of life, understanding that we are never without hope since we have the Holy Spirit living in us.

Contact us for pastoral care, parent coaching and creative solutions, brainstorming and prayer.

Dedication-86

The activities we do as a church community equip and assist families to lead their children to Christ. Our cfKidz discipleship team engages children in discipleship relationships with their peers, adults, Heavenly Father, our Savior Jesus, Holy Spirit, and the Bible.
