Kingdom Come Kids: children aged 6 - 11
This dynamic program, based on a workshop rotation model, gets rave reviews from children and adults alike. Each rotation, lasting four to five weeks, covers a single Bible story, which is explored through such activities as games, storytelling, cooking, science, crafts, and music. KCK runs from September through May, from 9:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m., in the B1 Fellowship Hall. For more information on KCK, click here.

Committed to Children

Adult volunteers teach the same segment for the duration of the 4-to- 5 week rotation, with adjustments made based on the age group. Due to the structure and diversity of the curriculum, children are able to work with and learn from a dynamic group of individuals.


Kindergarten Sunday School: children aged 3- 5
A fun Bible-based curriculum, emphasizing music, crafts, and fostering friendships, which helps children develop love and faith in Christ. Classes run from 9:45 to 10:45 in the 4th Floor Early Learning Center classrooms.
 

Stable Environment

Recognizing that young children thrive in a familiar environment, the program is taught by a select and talented team of adult volunteers, with extensive experience working with this age group.


Children In Church

TUC values its families and children. Throughout the year, there are special events that pay tribute to children and their interests, such as singing, lector reading, drama, and music recitals. Every Sunday during the morning worship services, Good News for Kids, a 5-minute talk for children, is given by the pastor or someone involved in Children’s Ministry.
Seek-and-Find Sermon Worksheets, which include a memory verse, drawing space, and question related to the sermon, are provided for children aged 8 and older who remain in service. Worksheets, which are turned in, are read by the pastor, who writes an encouraging note on what is written or drawn.

Children not in Church

Kinder Bible Corner: taught during services

Children aged 4 to 7, who are not yet able to sit comfortably through an entire service, are invited to join the Kinder Bible Corner immediately following Good News for Kids at the 8:30, 11:00, and 4:00 services. The program is casual, yet carefully structured, and includes music, biblical stories, crafts, games, and a snack. It’s located just outside the sanctuary in the 2nd floor classroom.

Sunday Nursery

Staffed by friendly professionals, the Sunday Nursery looks after children aged 3 and younger, from the start of the 8:30 a.m. service until the end of the 11 a.m. service. There are special occasions when it is not open.



Vacation Bible School
Every year, we host Vacation Bible School for a week in August. The program is open to elementary-school aged children, and is an opportunity that shouldn’t be missed. The 2006 Fiest was attended by a multi-national group of over 70 children. Through Christian-based music, crafts, video, and storytelling, children are able to focus on strengthening their relationship with God and each other.
