The children at SCC play an important role in the life of the church. They are not only the future of the church but play a vital role as part of this generation of the church too; their voices are important. Our amazing kids team has a passion to see our kids follow Jesus and have their voices heard in the life of the church.

We love our kids and we’re eager to welcome them along with all the sound, energy, and imagination they bring! We desire to make public worship something that is done by the whole community, adults and children together.
Midway through the gathering we offer a creative teaching time for children. We have a great team of teachers and helpers who will care for and lead your children in a holistic, age-appropriate experience of a scripture-based story and lesson. Scripture tells us that if our children our taught by the Lord, “great shall be their peace” (Is. 54:13). The KidsClub program at SCC uses movement, song, dramatic storytelling, group games, and art to illustrate who God is and what it means to be part of and care for the body of Christ. We want our children to seek and follow God’s path so they can live as full reflections of His love at home, school, and play. We also value home life and make it a priority to give parents tools to educate their children as they pursue the kingdom life at home. |

We want to nurture, teach, and empower our next generation to live in the way of Jesus. In order to pursue this vision, we:
Share the story of God. We want our next generation to be people of the Book—to meet in the story of the Bible an amazing and mysterious God whom they can recognize at work in their own daily lives.
Introduce the kingdom life. The main thing Jesus asks of His people is to walk in the kingdom of God. We want our next generation to understand the radical, upside-down kingdom and to choose it for themselves.
Participate in the hope of the world. We strongly believe that the body of Christ, the local church, is the hope of the world. We want our next generation to love the church, participate in it, and contribute to it. Children and youth are not waiting to be part of the church—they are an essential part of it right now.
Generate laughter and joy. Young people are made to be delighted by God. We want our next generation to grow in maturity without succumbing to cynicism or pessimism.
Encourage and support parents. Parenting is an increasingly challenging job in a culture that is prone to neglect and abuse, on the one hand, but also child worship, on the other. We want our next generation to have parents who are supported in their difficult path of nurturing and teaching their children.
Help young people reach out beyond themselves. Jesus’ way asks us to join with God in the mending of our world. This includes kids! We want our next generation to learn compassion and care for others.
