Bring your Bible.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
Psalm 119:105 · our ministry verse
We want to partner with families to lead our children to a heart-transforming, personal relationship with Christ, and to equip them with God’s Word and the tools to live out their faith in their relationships, homes, school and community.
CCS Kids meets Sunday mornings during the 9:30 and 11:30 services, for kids from the nursery through 6th grade. Visiting for the first time? Pre-register your kids online, then stop by the check-in table in the children’s hallway.
Rooted in Scripture.
We believe the Bible is God’s Word, fully inspired by Him and given to us as a guide for everyday life. It’s where we find wisdom, direction, correction, and truth that helps us live the way God designed us to live.
As a children’s ministry, our desire is to continually point children back to God’s Word as they learn to navigate life.
We are passionate about helping them build a strong, lasting foundation in Christ, one rooted firmly in Scripture. Just as Psalm 119:105 reminds us that God’s Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, we want His truth to illuminate the way before them.
Our prayer is that each child would grow in confidence, walking boldly in who God created them to be, knowing they are loved, known, and led by Him.
What to expect

Helping little hearts discover the joy of worship.
Age-focused, Bible-open, Spirit-led teaching of Scripture is foundational to the Kids Ministry at CCS.
Time to reunite! Bring the guardian receipt you received at check-in to pick your child up from their classroom.
One foundation. Every age.
From our littlest ones in Nursery to our 4th through 6th graders, CCS Kids provides age-appropriate environments where children can learn about Jesus, build friendships, and grow in their faith. Each group is designed to meet kids where they are while keeping God's Word at the center.

What curriculum does CCS Kids use?
We use two curriculums. In our nursery and young learner classes we use the Hands-On Bible Curriculum, which engages children with hands-on activities that teach biblical truths. In our elementary classes we use the Answers in Genesis Bible Curriculum. We go through the entire Bible chronologically in four years (200 lessons), giving a powerful overview of God’s Word. Kids dive into rich content, memorize Scripture, and learn how to apply the Bible to their daily lives. This curriculum is filled with Scripture and encourages believers in their faith, equipping them with answers for a skeptical world.
How do I check in and check out my kids?
CCS Kids has a quick, easy and secure check-in system in our children’s hallway, in the corner of the commons. Our Kid-Check servants at the table will walk you through checking in your child(ren). You’ll be given a guardian receipt, which you’ll need to check your child(ren) out of their classroom.
How do you handle safety and security?
Your child’s safety is our highest priority while they are in our care. Each team member is certified through our ministry policies to ensure the highest level of safety and security in every classroom. We use a security tag system for check-in and pick-up, and a security team helps keep your children and our volunteers safe.
Are your servants background checked?
Yes. With your child’s safety in mind, all of our adult servants have been background checked and are cleared to serve in the classrooms.
What happens if my child needs me during service?
A Children’s Ministry leader will contact you at the phone number on your child’s Kid-Check account. Please list every guardian’s phone number so that, in an emergency, we can reach the parent or guardian who is on site at the time.
Can you accommodate children with special needs?
We would love to come alongside and support every parent who has a child with special needs. We don’t yet have all the resources some children may need, but we are developing the CCS Kids Special Needs program. If you have questions about this ministry, please contact abbey@calvarystar.org.
