Youth Programs
 
For more information on any of CCU's youth programs, please contact our Christian Education Director, Jenn Macy, through our "Contact Us" page.


Ages 0-5: Our Nursery, staffed each Sunday by two credentialed nursery workers, introduces the youngest among us to God's love each Sunday through nurturance, care, snack, music and Bible stories.  The three and four year olds enjoy having their own class using the Godly Play method, as well as joining the Sunbeams (K-12) once a month. 

Grades K-12: Our Sunday School, known as "The Sunbeams", serves school-aged youth each Sunday during the 10am worship service, except for the first Sunday of the month.  During the first Sunday, Sunbeams' youth participate with their parents in the Intergenerational Worship Service with contemporary music.  The Sunbeams utilize the WORM program (Workshop Rotation Model) to structure the activities (games, drama, cooking, and music) in a fun and engaging way and relate them to Biblical stories.  Please view this video to see WORM in action.





Youth Group (Grades 7-12):
The Youth Group meets monthly and uses a mission and worship model.  The Youth Group meets on the second Saturday of every month, alternating between meetings at CCU that include a feast, worship and bonding, and missions in our community.  Please let any teens in your life know about this opportunity.  ALL are welcome! 

VBS (Vacation Bible School) Summer Program (Grades PreK-8):  CCU has met the needs of working families for the last 3 years by running an engaging free VBS summer program.  Watch the video below to get a sense for the joy of God's love that was experienced at VBS.
