Children’s Ministry at CotR
Follow Jesus | Worship with Joy | Grow Together | Love Like Him
We value the presence of children in our church family and welcome their active participation in our community through worship, discipleship, and relationships, growing and exploring their identity as beloved children of God. We want them to know the love of Jesus, follow where he leads, and share his love with others.
Sunday Ministry
Nursery
Our nursery welcomes our youngest children into a warm and caring environment where they learn through play, prayer, and relationships that they are loved, safe, and cherished by their Heavenly Father. Children are picked up by their families during the Peace.
PreK–3rd Grade
Godly Play is inspired by the Montessori tradition and gives children an opportunity to engage with Scripture through their senses and imaginations, in wonder and exploration. This year we’ll hear stories of the Old and New Testaments and will explore elements of our Anglican liturgy while we grow together as a community of young disciples.
4th & 5th Grade
Our fourth and fifth graders will be learning through Echo the Story, which presents them with the big picture of God’s story. Lessons are designed to help children listen imaginatively and live into the biblical narrative, tracing patterns and pictures that point to deep truths about who God is and where we are within his story. This year we’ll be spending time in the New Testament.
Safe Church
Cultivating a community where Christ’s disciples of all ages can flourish takes the work and awareness of many, and our safe church policies and procedures are an important way we encourage lifelong discipleship and redemptive relationships within our community. Learn more at Safe Church.
