FaQ

My kids are coming to CentralKids for the first time, what should we expect?

A visiting families first step should be at the Welcome Desk in the lobby when you first arrive on a Sunday morning. Someone from our Welcome Team will help get you and your kids registered, name tags printed, and direct you to the correct classrooms.

How do I know my kids will be safe at CentralKids?

CentralKids uses Planning Center to print name tags with a unique security code for each of your children. When you check-in, both you and your child(red) will receive printed name tags with the unique security code which will be used to "check-out" your kids when service is over.
All of our adult volunteers in CentralKids go through a security and background check prior to serving.
Allergies & medical concerns can be included in registration if you wish to share. The same notifications will print on your child's name tag and inform the teachers of their classes. CentralKids serves Goldfish crackers and Veggie Straws as a snack each Sunday. Veggie Straws are a vegan snack and are gluten/dairy/dye-free.

What curriculum does CentralKids use?

CentralKids uses the Gospel Project curriculum by Lifeway. The Gospel Project walks students through the entire Bible over the course of three years. Each lesson all contains a “Christ connection” to show how each lesson points us to the Gospel. You can read more at their website.

What is the purpose and vision of CentralKids?

The vision of CentralKids is, “Guiding children to Christ by loving them one at a time and teaching them the truths of God’s Word.” This vision is fulfilled as staff, volunteers, and families engage in five ways.
- Praying: CentralKids desires to take everything (parents, teachers, volunteers, events, and children) to the Lord in prayer. Every choice that is made should be considered prayerfully and have a purpose that supports our vision.
- Providing: CentralKids provides a fun and inviting space for all children to feel loved and valued. CentralKids provides outreach opportunities to build relationships with families from our community and introduce them to Christ’s love.
- Partnering: CentralKids strives to partner with parents as they disciple their children in the fear and instruction of the Lord. CentralKids volunteers, events, and curriculum are all designed to come alongside and assist parents by providing additional resources and opportunities for kids to interact with and learn from God’s Word.
- Participating: CentralKids desires everyone in our church family to participate in discipling the next generation. As such, it seeks to equip teachers and volunteers with the tools, resources, support, and supplies they need to accomplish the vision and mission.
- Practicing: CentralKids is training the next generation of leaders for His Church. CentralKids strives to provide age-appropriate servant leadership opportunities so that they can practice being the hands and feet of Jesus.
