Welcome
Lighthouse Kids provides children from infant through third grade a chance to know God, grow in faith and live it out, all in age-appropriate ways and environments! We’ll come alongside your family to help support your child’s spiritual growth.

New to
Lighthouse Kids?
We know your child is going to love coming to church! If you are planning your first visit, we want you to know that we take your child’s safety and security very seriously, and this includes a check in/out procedure. To save time on your first visit, you have the option to pre-register online and save some time when you arrive.
Think you want to join Lighthouse Kids?
While you might be too old to come for the activities, there’s no age limit on our volunteers! Our volunteers go through training and a background check process, before being placed into one of our kids’ classrooms. If you want to learn more or are ready to sign up, fill out the interest form!

What to Expect
Our team of volunteers and staff love kids, and our services are a fusion of fun, learning and activities. Your child will have the chance to participate in games, activities, snacks, singing, and dancing. Regardless of age, your child will be demonstrated just how much they are loved! If you are joining us on special times of the year, you may find a birthday party, egg hunt or other fun activities, all hosted by Lighthouse Kids.
AWANA at Christ Church
Awana is an exciting, nondenominational children’s ministry on a mission—to share the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ with kids and equip them to live for Him! Every week, children dive into thrilling games, memorize powerful Bible verses, and discover timeless biblical truths in a fun, high-energy environment. Through laughter, teamwork, and faith-filled lessons, Awana helps kids grow spiritually while making unforgettable memories all year long!
