Children's Ministry

Welcome to FOC Children’s Ministry!

At Family of Christ, we help children and their families connect with God, discover their place in His big story, and respond to Him through the power of the Holy Spirit. We look forward to loving your children, ministering to your family, and walking alongside you on your faith journey.

We offer engaging Sunday morning programs and special events throughout the year, creating a fun and safe environment where kids and families can grow together. Through age-appropriate small groups, children learn and experience God’s Word in ways that connect to their daily lives.

We want every child to:

  • Learn about Godthrough Bible-based lessons
  • Worship God wholeheartedly
  • Build meaningful relationshipswith peers and caring adults
  • Grow in faithand develop a lasting relationship with Jesus

If you have questions about our Children’s Ministry at Family of Christ, please contact our Director of Children & Family Ministries, Sonja Genke.

FOC KIDS SUNDAY PROGRAMS
We use the Orange Curriculum and focus on three key relationships: With God (Wonder), With Themselves (Discovery), With Others (Passion)

SUNDAY MORNINGS - Kids ages 0 through grade 4. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Ages 0–3: Free play in the Nursery with our wonderful Nursery staff!
  • Preschool & Kindergarten: Using the Orange CurriculumFirst Look, kids will focus on three basic truths:
    • God made me
    • God loves me
    • Jesus wants to be my friend forever
      Sundays at 9:30am
  • Grades 1–4: Using the Orange Curriculum252 Kids, children will focus on three truths:
    • I need to make the wise choice
    • I can trust God no matter what
    • I should treat others the way I want to be treated
      These truths are based on Luke 2:52:“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.”

SUNDAY NIGHTS – Club 56 (Grades 5 & 6)
We’ll kick things off with dinner at 5:00pm (watch for details from parents), then break into our space for lessons and games. Club 5|6 uses the Preteen section of the 252 Kids curriculum and emphasizes the same three truths:

  • I need to make the wise choice
  • I can trust God no matter what
  • I should treat others the way I want to be treated
    Sunday nights from 5:00–7:00pm
