Children

You might be wondering what happens for children during weekend worship. Perhaps you're looking for great summer activities like camp. Maybe you want your children to attend our after-school ministry. Or maybe you want to learn more about our Upward^® sports program or other special events.

Our Childrens Ministry Team is here to assist you with any questions you may have. Please contact Lauren Buschmann, Minister to Children and Families, by email or phone: 954.771.7300 x253. We look forward to serving your family!

At Christ Church, shaping children is a central part of God's vision for our church. We want to introduce children to Jesus, and do everything we can to help them become fully-devoted followers of Christ. If you visit any of our Childrens Ministries, you will find a safe environment where kids are having a great time and experiencing God's love.

We have six values to help us realize this vision:

1. We are SAFE.

We have policies in place to keep your children safe and we enforce them. It’s important to us to provide a place that is safe: physically, emotionally and spiritually.

2. We are CHILD-FRIENDLY.

We're constantly asking ourselves: Are we doing the kinds of things children really like? Are we singing the songs kids want to learn? Are we teaching lessons the kids will understand?

3. Our teaching is BIBLICAL, CREATIVE & APPLICATION–ORIENTED.

Memorizing Bible verses is great, but we want children to know that God gave them a book filled with wisdom that can help them in their lives right now!

4. Our time together is BALANCED.

Some children love large, loud crazy teaching. Some prefer small quieter groups. We will give time to both. Being entertaining and fun is great, most of the time, but, sometimes its also important to slow down.

5. We are FUN.

The reason for this value is simple. Kids won’t come back willingly if it’s not fun, and they certainly won’t want to invite their friends. Fun’s easy! We’ll mix in celebrations, add surprises and prizes and occasionally throw in some shaving cream and water guns.

6. We are INVESTED.
Your child is not a number to us. We want to provide a place where your child can feel treasured and valued. A place where, every week, they can connect with their old friends and make some new ones, while while growing in their relationship to Jesus!
