We are more than just childcare at HCKaty.

We believe that children are a precious gift from God, to be honored, nurtured, and loved. Our Children's Ministry is designed to create a safe, welcoming, and joyful environment where children from birth through fifth grade can grow in their faith, build lasting friendships, and experience the love of Christ.

Our ministry is supported by a passionate team of teachers and dedicated partners who work closely with families to provide age-appropriate lessons, activities, and experiences that inspire spiritual growth and character development.

Special Events

Throughout the year, we host a variety of events to build community and deepen children’s spiritual journey:
Vacation Bible School (VBS): A summer adventure filled with Bible lessons, games, crafts, and songs.
Seasonal Celebrations: Family-friendly events for Easter, Christmas, and other holidays that bring joy and meaning to the season.
Service Projects: Opportunities for children to serve others and learn the importance of kindness and generosity.

Safety and Care

The safety and well-being of your children are our top priority. All staff and volunteers are background-checked and trained to ensure a secure environment. We follow strict safety protocols and maintain a low child-to-teacher ratio to give each child the attention they deserve.

Partnering with Parents

We invite you to join us on this journey of faith and discovery! For more information or to get involved, please contact our Children’s Ministry team.

Children’s Worship during the 11 AM Service.

Here’s what to expect if your children or grandchildren will be attending:

Children’s Worship will be held every Sunday, except on Communion Sundays (the first Sunday of the month) and special holidays.

Everyone will begin worship together in the Sanctuary. After the Scripture reading, children will be invited to exit through the CENTER doors and head to the Chapel across the hall.

Sending your child to Children’s Worship is completely optional. We love having children in the Sanctuary, so it’s entirely up to you and your child.

Children’s Worship is for kindergarten through fourth grade. Younger children are welcome to join Wiggle Worship or the nursery in the Education Building.

Children will return to the Sanctuary between the Affirmation of Faith and the closing song.

Please send coins with your children for their offering—any amount is welcome!

At HCKaty Kids, children from birth through fifth grade can grow in faith, build friendships, and experience God’s love in age-appropriate ways. This fall, families are invited to join us for nursery care, Wiggle Worship, Children’s Worship, Sunday School, SPARK gatherings, and special seasonal events—including Boo Bash and Breakfast with Santa. There’s a welcoming place for every child to learn, play, create, and belong!
