Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.

Kids Ministry

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. All staff and volunteers are background checked and trained for their classrooms.

Why do my kids start out in service?
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.

What does this look like?
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.

What will my kids be learning in their classes?
We use Orange Curriculum! Our goal is to walk alongside your kids to develop a deeper faith, build strong relationships, and ask big questions about their faith through Bible stories, worship and small groups.

Simple & Silly Church at Home was born out of a desire to meet families where they are as we continue to be stuck at home for the most part. We wanted to create weekend lessons that looked a little bit more like Virtual VBS, that were simple, silly and interactive. We have found that God shows up in so many ways, including the simple and silly. Jump into the fun!

On break for now, but previous weeks are still available.

Adventure Calling

Each year our children’s ministry staff creates a story and workbook called Adventure Calling. It’s designed to be used by the children (with adult supervision), over the four weeks of Advent, to interact with the great news of Jesus’ coming to Earth the we celebrate at Christmas. Adventure Calling shows how Hope, Joy, Peace, and Love are woven into story of the birth of our Savior. And the whole book is meant to be FUN! We hope your children have a blast with this book!
