Our Vision for KidCity

We love and value families at Citizens Church. We believe that parents and guardians are called to be the primary disciple-makers of their kids. But our hearts are to partner with parents of elementary schoolers to raise up the next generation, building a strong gospel-centered foundation. We do this through age-specific discipleship at church and by providing tools for families to fulfill their call to make disciples in their homes.

Our weekend ministry for elementary children

Our weekend Elementary ministry (1st - 5th grade) is called KidCity and is available at each of our services. Children are placed in classrooms based on grade and gender before going to large group.

Let us know you're coming

How we teach

Kids attend a large group gathering where we worship through song and hear a teaching from the Bible. We build on the foundational truths from our LittleCity Preschool Ministry and focus on God’s Big Story by teaching the Attributes of God, Promises of God and People of God

Next, they attend small groups where they dig deeper into the lesson they heard during large group, play games, do crafts and learn a monthly memory verse.

Each week we provide a Family Discipleship Resource (FDR) for you to use at home. These are also available on our resource page.

Family Baptism Class

Has your child recently accepted Jesus as their savior or is asking questions about baptism? Our Family Baptism Class is designed for families to attend together and is great for children who believe they are ready to be baptized and for those who are just beginning to ask questions. This 3-week class includes an overview for parents and age-specific teaching about the gospel, what baptism means and why we do it. This class helps you and your child be prepared to be baptized at our next Celebration Service.
