CHILD DEDICATION
(0-3 YEARS OLD)
Church For The ONE believes children are a gift from God! Child dedications are intended for young children (ages 0-4) who are not mature enough to make a personal committed decision to follow Jesus on their own yet. This is a special part of our Sunday service where you will commit to raising your child in the faith as a family before God, your friends, family & church!
Event: Child Dedication Sunday
Month: May & October
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
(KINDERGARTEN)
As your Kindergartener steps into their first year at school, they enter a world of fun, learning, and growth. Our ministry wants to be a place where their hearts and minds are nurtured, where they build friendships, and where they encounter the love of God in tangible ways. As we celebrate this milestone with every activity, story, and interaction, we seek to create a safe and welcoming environment where kids can meet Jesus on their level.
Event: 1st Day of School Celebration

ANSWER THE CALL
(9TH GRADE)
One of the fundamental inquiries your teenager may be wrestling with is their purpose in the world. They want to know what difference they can make. This is a question about purpose. At Church for the ONE our mission is to help every single person pursue their calling. YTH for the ONE is dedicated to empowering every student and helping them discover and pursue their unique calling. We believe that each one is entrusted with a distinctive calling from God to further His Kingdom, make His Name famous, and leave a lasting impact on their community.

CHOOSE TO STAY
(16 YEARS OLD)
Your teenager is driving and has a new level of freedom and responsibility to make decisions. One of those may be whether or not they will go to church. Our desire is to partner with parents in making it easy for the student to stay connected and invested in the church and making it hard to leave. We want our students to reach a point in their lives where they choose to stay connected, not because it is merely a habit, but it is a conscious decision driven by their understanding of the important role they play in the mission of the church.
Event: YTH Night Out
Month: February
GRADUATION
(12TH GRADE)
Your child's journey into adulthood marks a bittersweet milestone for your family. We desire that our high school graduates will step into this new season in their lives with confidence in who they are in Christ and feeling celebrated and supported by the church. Whether they remain nearby or venture afar, our students will sense the unwavering support of the church and recognize its profound significance in their lives. We were not meant to go through life on our own. While your child may be spreading their wings and leaving the nest, our fervent hope is that they won't journey alone! Event:

WHO WE ARE
Welcome to Kids For The ONE! We believe in treating your kids the way Jesus would. We focus on loving, teaching atmospheres in our weekend worship times and strive to make your family feel seen, known, and loved. No matter what your child’s age, we have excellent leaders ready to guide your children through engaging Bible stories and fun games while also presenting timeless, life-changing principles from God’s Word. Join the fun and experience a world where kids meet Jesus on their level!
WHAT WE VALUE
CREATIVE BIBLE TEACHING
The Bible is the most amazing book ever written! We strive to bring its stories to life through activities and discussions that keep children engaged. We want all children to love God’s word and understand the value of applying it to their lives.
RELATIONSHIPS
We value children’s relationships within the small group setting as they relate to their leader and other kids in the group. As families commit to attending the same service each week, children are placed in a group of familiar faces where relationships can grow.
AGE-APPROPRIATENESS
Our environments and lesson materials are created in a way your child will understand. We are so passionate about kids learning this way that we do not allow them into the service designed for adults and students 6th grade and older.
SAFETY
Every child’s name tag is matched to a parent-identification number, every volunteer is screened with an interview and federal background check, and every hallway is monitored by security personnel.
FUN!
Kids love fun! We realize that when children have fun at church, they can’t wait to come back. We value creating fun ways for children to learn about Jesus, including games, activities, singing, and live acting.
KIDS CHECK-IN
You may check-in your child at any available iPad station once registered at the Guest Connections desk in the Kid's Lobby. After finding your child’s name in the database, you and your child will be given matching identification tags that are exclusive to your family and your visit. Your child will need to wear the name tag portion while you keep the matching tag. After the service, you will return to your child’s room and show your tag in order for your child to be released back to you. We recommend taking a picture of your matching tag in the event you cannot find it after the service!
