"Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
We LOVE kids at UCC and are working hard to find ways to introduce them to Jesus in a fun, safe, dynamic environment. Here's what to expect when visiting Kids4Christ for the first time:
- Find the area marked for "Kids4Christ". There we will meet your family, check your child into our system, and then one of our volunteers will lead your child to their age-appropriate room.
- After service your kid(s) can be picked up in their classroom by their parent or preapproved guardian.
Kids Programming Options
Here are all the different programming available for our families with littles:
Weekly Read Aloud
We host a weekly community read aloud at the NMSU Bookstore on campus Wednesdays at 10am. We read several educational books, sing and dance, share a snack, and end with a fun craft. We’d love for you to bring a friend and join us!
The Family Room
University Church offers a Family Room that is available on campus for mothers and fathers with infants. This room is reserved exclusively for parents with infants to enjoy the service in a more private and quiet environment.
The Nursery
Our nursery is a safe space for children up to 2 years old to sleep, play, and do everything in between. This space is open for you to drop your children off at any time during our 9:30am bible class hour or our 10:30am service.
Kids4Christ
For kids ages 2-5th grade, our children’s minister Jaiden Nunley (and a great group of volunteers) facilitate an age appropriate space to encounter God. They are broken up into 3 groups, 2’s & 3’s, 4’s & 5’s, and 1st-5th grade. Prayer, play, scripture, crafts, and story are the means by which we draw our children into deeper exploration of our faith.
Interested in Volunteering in Kids Min?
One of the biggest needs we have when it comes to volunteers is within our children's ministry. From holding babies to teaching 5th graders, we are always looking for new folks who want to reach the next generation. Contact our children's minister, Jaiden, below.
