Children & FamiliesFamilies come in all sizes, configurations and hues – all of whom are cherished at KCC. We offer a joy and meaning-filled Christian education program for children, from infancy through high school. Come to make friends, to learn about the Bible, to articulate your values, and assemble your village – the village it takes to raise a child.
Children and youth have so much to teach us about faith. At KCC, young people lead worship, music and special events throughout the year including an annual Youth Sunday, a Children’s Christmas Program and Family Christmas Eve Service, among others. From a young age, we also invite children to participate in service projects, both within the church and beyond.
KCC also hosts treasured traditions for children and families within our community – the Halloween Carnival, Las Posadas, Easter Egg Hunt, and the Memorial Day Pancake Breakfast.

Join us in the sanctuary at 10 AM Sundays for Traditional Worship. Children and youth spend the first 10 minutes in worship and depart for Sunday School after the children’s message. Infants and toddlers can be dropped off upstairs in the nursery 15 minutes before worship.
We provide a safe, nurturing environment in which to grow, learn and worship. For details, see our Safe Church policy. Fill out Emergency Contact and Field Trip Release forms here.

The award-winning Faith and Sexuality course, Our Whole Lives, is offered to 7th through 9th grade students, and older ones by request. As sexuality is a gift from God, we encourage young adults to identify their values, consider consequences, and approach decisions with their faith in mind.
