Parents' Afternoon Out
Once a month the kids get to stay after church, eat lunch, play games, do crafts, and have lots of fun while mom and dad do boring things like have a quiet lunch together or with friends.
Children's Ministry
Our Mission
CTR has a holistic vision of intergenerational community and discipleship that serves as the basis for our children's ministry. The mission of CTR’s Children’s Ministry is to equip and support parents in their God-ordained role as their child’s primary spiritual teacher and to make sure that even our youngest members know that they are important, contributing members of our church family.
Sunday Mornings
We enjoy the beautiful sounds of new life in our service, so you will never be pressured to put your baby in the nursery. But for families who wish to use it, our nursery is staffed with two adults every week and available for babies and toddlers, 6 weeks to 4 years. Please pick up your baby or toddler just prior to Holy Communion.
This slideshow offers a sneak peek into our nursery space.
Other Programs
In addition to our regular Sunday School and Nursery programming, here are other highlights from our Children's Ministry.
Intergenerational Community
A hallmark of life at CTR are the relationships that span generations. Our youngest members, our oldest members, and everyone in between genuinely enjoys worshiping, fellowshiping, and serving together. This is evident every Sunday and at every special event. Studies show that the relationships kids are forming with these adults who are so invested in their lives will play a very important role in their spiritual formation and increases the likelihood that they will remain in the church once they become adults. For now, they just know that they are having fun and feeling loved, and that is enough!
