Children's Ministry — Medina Community Church

About Medina Kids

Teaching Kids the Truths of Scripture

Our children's ministry teaches kids the truths of Scripture in a fun and loving environment where they can learn and explore the Bible. We believe children are a heritage from the Lord, and we take that responsibility seriously.

While you're involved in worship, you can trust that your kids are enjoying their time at church with caring adults who love Jesus and care about your child. They'll develop friendships with peers, making church a place they'll look forward to each week.

Safety & Care

Your Child Is Safe Here

All of our children's workers are screened and trained volunteers and staff who are committed to the safety and spiritual growth of every child in our care.

Check-in stations are available before each service. Children receive a secure name tag, and parents receive a matching pickup tag.

Our children's areas are also covered by security cameras, giving you additional peace of mind while you worship.

Each Summer

Vacation Bible School

Every summer, we host Vacation Bible School — a week of high-energy Bible teaching, crafts, games, singing, and friendships for children in our community. VBS is one of our favorite weeks of the year, and one of the most meaningful ways we open our doors to families who may not yet know our church.

Children go home each day with Scripture in their hearts, new friendships, and a tangible sense that God loves them. Leaders and volunteers pour themselves into every detail to make it an unforgettable week.

Once a Month

Family Sunday

We believe the gathered church includes children. Worship through Word, song, prayer, and the ordinances belongs to the whole congregation — not just the adults in the room.

On the last Sunday of each month, children kindergarten and above remain in the service with their families rather than going out into classrooms. It's one of our favorite Sundays of the month.

When

The last Sunday of every month, during both the 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM services.

Who Stays In

Children kindergarten and above worship alongside their families. Nursery and preschool care is still available.

Made for Kids

We provide families with crayons, coloring sheets, clipboards, and fruit snacks — the sermon is a little shorter that Sunday too.

Why It Matters

Children who grow up seated with their families in corporate worship partake in all that God has called His people to on the Lord's Day — witnessing the gathering of the body of Christ, hearing the Word proclaimed, joining in song and prayer, and observing the ordinances. We want children to know that Sunday morning belongs to them too.

For Parents

What to Expect on Sunday

✦

Check In

Find our check-in station in the foyer before the service. We'll get your child a name tag and you a matching pickup number — quick and easy.

✦

Age-Grouped Classrooms

Kids are grouped by age so lessons are always appropriate and engaging. Teachers connect personally with every child in their class.

✦

Pickup

After the service, return to your child's classroom with your pickup tag. We won't release children to anyone without a matching number.
