Raising Our Kids                            in the circle of God's Love

At City Church Denver we surround our children with the love of Jesus in the hopes that they hear, know, and love God. We seek to reinforce the ancient truths of scripture that parents are teaching at home, support and encourage families, and give children the opportunity to benefit from relationships with other children and adults in our congregation. We joyfully use historic Christian traditions, such as liturgy and the church calendar, so they begin to know the timeless truths held in common with the whole Church.

Nursery: birth-5 year olds *every Sunday

Kids Club: K-5th grade *every Sunday

Youth Group: 6th-12 grade *every Sunday

We offer nursery care to our infants and toddlers on Sundays during the worship service. We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment and our nursery is staffed by professional childcare workers along with screened volunteers. Even our very youngest members are included in worship by following a liturgy that includes greeting, singing, and a Bible story during the nursery time. Parents may pick up their children from the nursery after the sermon to bring them up for a blessing during Communion

Kids Club is offered weekly for children kindergarten-5th grade. Children attend the beginning of the worship service with their parents, come forward for a children's sermon, and then head downstairs together before Passing of the Peace. During Kids Club your child will experience an age-appropriate worship time. Using a simple liturgy, this time is designed to help kids understand how to participate in worship. Kids sing songs, greet each other, and learn about God’s word. The leaders return with the children to the service at the end of the sermon prior to Communion.

Youth Group is offered every Sunday for students in 6th-12th grade. Students participate in the beginning of the worship service with their families and leave after the children's message, just before Passing of the Peace. Youth Group exists to help students find and follow God in the way of Jesus.  A weekly rhythm of connection plus monthly fun events allow students to build positive friendships, have fun at church, and grow in their faith in Christ. 

We celebrate Family Sunday from time to time as we encourage families to worship together. Typically, children actively participate in various roles within the service on this Sunday. It is often during these Sundays that our youngest members receive baptism as a sign of the child’s membership in the church community and of God’s promises.

If you would like to have your child baptized on a Family Sunday or have any questions about the sacrament of baptism please contact us.
