Children

Nothing is more worthwhile than the investment we make in our children's spiritual lives.

Life in Christ for the Next Generation is our vision and mission in AdventureLand for birth through 5th grade, and that is accomplished as we invest in, love on, pour into and pray for children each week.

Children's    Weekly    Programming

AdventureLand (birth - 5th Grade)

(All Campuses)
During our Sunday morning services, we offer AdventureLand for children from birth through 5th grade. AdventureLand uses a hiking metaphor to teach kids what it means to follow Jesus. In the Elementary classes kids can use a H.I.K.E.R. Guide, to help them learn a value-driven framework for spiritual formation.

Elementary Kids earn Mountain Money and H.I.K.E.R. awards, and all our kids receive loads of encouragement from their leaders, and make lots of new friends. Your children will gain confidence to spend time with God, navigate His word, and partner with others on their very own spiritual adventure.

If you have any questions about AdventureLand please contact Vanessa Makihele

AWANA (birth - 8th Grade)

(Raspberry Campus Only, Sept-May)
We offer AWANA during the school year  for children from birth-8th grade at our Sunday evening service (6:00pm at CP Raspberry). Awana offers a fun, proven approach for early evangelism and deep discipleship.



If you have any questions about Awana please contact Commander Putt.

Kids-Club (birth -12 years)

(Raspberry Campus Only)
KidsClub is a support ministry for adult training opportunities & events throughout the week. KidsClub provides a safe, fun learning environment for your children from birth through 12-years-old while you’re growing deeper in your faith.  
KidsClub includes a full lesson and activities for every child, every time.

For most events there is a small fee for the use of KidsClub.  To ensure a quality experience, we require prior registration for all children in KidsClub.  You can register your children at the same time you register for your event and the cost will be listed in the event information.

Make a lasting impact.

By saying yes to volunteering, you are saying yes to something much bigger:

You are serving others,  you’re giving your life away, you become part of community, you discover how God has wired you, you use the unique gifts God has blessed you with, you take part in expanding the Kingdom of God, you are making an eternal impact, you make this big church small, you become a disciple maker and you Glorify God...your life will never be the same again

Our “VIP” volunteers are asked to serve one service, every other week. Children under 12 can serve in preschool or nursery, as long as a parent serves with them.
