ABOUT
Our purpose is to create an environment where kids encounter God’s presence. kids@MCC is a place where they can learn to be anchored in the Word, while operating in the freedom of the Holy Spirit.
Each Sunday, kids participate in an interactive Bible lesson designed to capture their imagination and bring scripture to life. After the lesson, they dive into meaningful discussions with their peers, exploring questions that help them apply what they've learned. Hands-on activities follow, allowing kids to put their faith into action in creative ways. We wrap up each session with prayer and introduce a monthly memory verse to reinforce key Bible truths. We can't wait to see your child grow with us at kids@MCC!
WHAT TO EXPECT?
When you arrive, please register your children using the check-in stations located in the church lobby. A children’s volunteer will assist you if you need any help. You’ll be given a name tag to be placed on your child and a corresponding security tag, please keep it for later, it will be used at check out when service is over.
We believe that children should witness and participate in worship with the church body. After checking in your child, please head into the sanctuary with your kids for worship. They will be dismissed afterwards during announcements.
We also provide a Nursing Mother’s Room in the Children’s ministry area where mothers can care for their babies and still hear the worship and teaching. If you need to use this room, please enter by the door in the right back corner of the sanctuary. Children’s volunteers will guide you to the space.
We pray that our children’s ministry is a place where your children encounter God, learn about the unconditional love of their Daddy in heaven, receive grace through Jesus, and experience the power that is offered through the Holy Spirit!

There is no junior holy spirit
At kids@MCC, we believe there is no "junior" Holy Spirit. Children are never too young to follow Jesus with all their hearts, and our mission is to nurture that passion from an early age. By creating a solid biblical foundation, we equip the next generation to grow in their faith and confidently share the gospel with their communities. Our desire is to see kids empowered by God to be world-changers, spreading His love and good news wherever they go.
