As a church, we believe that families worshipping together is vital in spiritual growth—of the kids, family and church as a whole. A practical way to grow a healthy church is by encouraging kids to be a part of church service.
As we’ve seen over the years, kids worshipping in church service is twofold: individual spiritual growth of the kids (and helping to transition after their Kids Ministry days), and the growth of the congregation as they are inspired by getting to see kids of all ages worshipping.
Check-in will be in the front church lobby before service. Then kids (ages VPK—5th grade) will start out in service with parents/grandparents for the first two songs of worship. Kids Ministry leaders will then walk kids to their classes (where you will later pick them up) for the remainder of the service.
This semester we’re going to be following along a church-wide study on the Sermon on the Mount. What our adult services/classes call “Kingdom: The Way of Jesus,” we’re calling “Becoming Kingdom Kids.” More info as you scroll down!
At University Carillon we are committed to offering a safe, secure, and loving environment where each child can experience the love of Jesus through creative and exciting programs.
This fun, high-energy ministry encourages kids to know Jesus Christ and grow in a relationship with him through Bible stories, Scripture memorization, life application, missions, and recreation!
Jesus didn’t come just to tell people about God—He came to show us what life in God’s Kingdom looks like!
As our church journeys through Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, kids will discover the amazing, upside-down truths of Jesus’ kingdom through engaging Bible stories, hands-on activities, games, worship, and small groups. They’ll learn what it means to be kind, brave, generous, forgiving, and to love others the way Jesus does.
Because God’s kingdom isn’t just something we learn about—it’s something we get to live out every day. Come explore the way of Jesus and discover how following Him changes everything!
Sundays
10–11 AM (in E-206)
Freestyle is a space for middle school students, during 10AM Sunday gatherings, to spend some time in community and reading the message’s scripture together.
Middle school students start out, together with their families, in front Worship Center for worship. They’ll head to Freestyle in E-206 following an announcement partway through service.
Pickup is in the front church lobby / porch area!
Every other Tuesday
8 AM (at Panera Oviedo)
Middle schoolers!! We’ll eat (bring a few bucks for breakfast!) and spend some time in scripture together; then staff & volunteer parents will carpool to drop off at local middle school. Invite some friends too! This is an easy, low-pressure space to explore faith in Jesus and build friendships. All are welcome!
Signing up ahead of time isn’t required to come, but to be guaranteed a ride to school, you need to sign up by midnight the Sunday night before Bible Study! After that, we’ll do everything we can to provide a ride for your student, but we can’t guarantee it, and encourage you to reach out to epic@universitycarillon.net to confirm you have a ride. Sign up here EACH WEEK so we know you’re coming!
Take a look at some upcoming events in the life of Kids Ministry at University Carillon.
