It's so wonderful to be a part of a church family that loves kids! Here at Libby Christian Church we want kids to know and love God. The teaching and activities are planned with the goal to build children's faith and help families grow together in Christ.
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me..." We welcome them in His name!
We are dedicated to partnering with parents to train children up in the way of the Lord (Proverbs 22:6) and help them think like Jesus did (Matthew 28:18-20, John 13:34-35). Some things we offer to encourage this are Sunday School, Jr Worship, 10:14 Kids, Catalyst, various big events, and summer camps.
On Sundays our focus varies for kids and their families:
- 1st Service is a family time where children remain with their parents or guardians, and worship with them in the auditorium for the whole service. There are coloring pages and pencils in the back of the auditorium available for the children and the nursery is open for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.
- Sunday School is from 9:50-10:30am. For kids 4 years through 6th grade, this is an opportunity to dig into the God’s word, memorize verses, and discuss deep truths of the Bible. A nursery is provided for babies, toddlers, and 3-year-olds.
- During 2nd Service kids (preschool through 4th grade) join the congregation in singing worship songs, and then just before the sermon, are dismissed for Jr Worship in the children’s wing for activities, crafts, and Bible teaching. There are opportunities for 5th-12th graders to serve as helpers for JrWorship. The nursery is available for babies, toddlers and 3-year-olds.
On Wednesdays kids in grades K-3 can attend 10:14 KIDS, our after-school program, where they can expect lots of fun, games, sports, snacks and Bible lessons. Kids from the whole community attend this program based on Mark 10:14 (“Let the little children come to me...”) which takes place after school until 4:30pm. Kids in 5th-12th grade have an opportunity to help as student leaders. (10:14 Kids takes place from October through April)
Also on Wednesdays from 2:30-4:30pm kids in 4th -6th grade have youth group called Catalyst!. Fun with friends, games, snacks, Bible devotions, plus lots of opportunities to serve others is what Catalyst! is about. (Takes place October through May)
Big events for families take place on the Saturday before Easter with a giant egg hunt and the Annual Fall Party on Halloween is lots of fun that includes a free chili dinner and age appropriate games for toddlers through high-schoolers. The whole community is invited to these events–and we have FUN!
Other events for kids are Vacation Bible School (a week in June) and super fun summer camps for kids of all ages in June and July.
