City Kids is our ministry for children six weeks old through fifth grade and their parents where kids are supervised and taught about Jesus in age-appropriate ways. During our 9:00 a.m. Gathering, we will offer full City Kids programming and will offer programming for one-year-olds and up at 11:00 a.m.
City Kids exists to teach kids Jesus is the hero we all need, laying a foundation of the good news of Jesus for families to build on at home. City Kids is staffed with experienced City Kids volunteers who will make sure your kid is safe, has a great time and learns about Jesus.
We hope this will allow you to focus during our Gatherings, knowing your child is hearing about Jesus in a kid-friendly environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring for my child?
Depending on the age of your child, be sure to bring diapers, pacifiers, a change of clothes, and a bottle of milk, formula, juice, or water. To help us keep track of your items, please label all personal items with your child's first and last names before arriving.
What happens when I arrive?
As you approach City Church, look for the intersection of Dawson St. and Sevier Ave. to the right of our building. The lot there is designated for Parents Only. Facing the lot, you’ll see large City Kids signage indicating the entrance. As you come down the steps, go through the doors on the left to check-in with our staff and volunteers.
How can I know my child is safe?
Safety is a top priority for us at City Kids. The entrances to City Kids and each individual City Kids room are locked once the Gathering starts. Children in City Kids also use children-specific restrooms that are not shared with the rest of Gathering attendees.
We want you to be able to enjoy the Gathering knowing your child is safe and secure in our space.
Who will be taking care of my child?
City Kids is run by volunteers committed to having fun, helping your child grow, and teaching them about Jesus. Each volunteer has undergone a thorough federal background check prior to becoming a City Kids volunteer.
We know that entrusting the care of your child to others is a big deal. So we’ve taken the time below to answer some of the more common questions people have about City Kids.
What should I do if my child has food allergies?
When checking your child in, just let us know about any allergies. We'll add it to our system so that we have it on file for this time and any times in the future.
What kind of activities will my child be participating in?
City Kids will provide age-appropriate activities for all children. For newborns and small children, they'll be cared for and prayed over by a City Kids volunteer. Lessons for older kids are reinforced by play and activities designed with the ability and age of the child in mind.
Can I volunteer with City Kids?
