Helping kids and families encounter Jesus
CATC Kids provides ministry on Sundays at 9am and 10:45am to birth-5th grade. We meet in a safe and engaging environment in the Kids Building on the south side of our campus.
We are deeply committed to teaching children a Jesus-centered, grace-driven understanding of the entire Bible. We believe that through providing Christ-centered teaching in every opportunity, and through providing parents with biblical resources and discipleship - we can one day send out our kids equipped to accomplish Christ's mission.

GET INVOLVED
YOUR FIRST VISIT
From the moment you walk through the doors, you’ll notice lots of friendly faces eager to help you out!
Your first stop when you arrive is the first-time check in area. We want to serve you and your child well, so we’ll take some time to get to know you. We’ll ask about allergies, make sure we know what your child likes to be called, and collect your contact information.
Then, you and your child will both get a sticker with a matching code. If for any reason we need to reach you during the gathering, we will text you. This sticker is also what you’ll use to pick-up your child after gathering.
ARE YOU NEW TO CATC KIDS?

Small Groups for 1st – 3rd grades meets at 9am & 10:45am. During this time, the teacher communicates the day’s Bible story and how it is part of God’s big story. To reinforce the story, the children engage in fun activities for multiple learning styles. Time is also spent on Bible skills and Scripture memorization. Children are encouraged, loved and prayed for by our caring volunteers.
Along with the study of the day’s story, children sing, play games and experience an object lesson to internalize the Bible story and Christ Connection. A missions video helps kids learn how God equips all Christians to share the gospel with others.
