Children's Ministry

 

Calvary Chapel Old Towne's Children's Ministry focuses on creating a Christ-centered, Bible-based environment where children can learn about God and develop their faith. The ministry aims to teach scripture and help children understand the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus through engaging activities and lessons.

What to Expect

We know that visiting a new church can be a little confusing, so we've compiled a list of commonly asked questions to help you feel more comfortable. 

  • When you arrive, you will be greeted by a knowledgeable CCOT usher who can help direct you to the appropriate room for your child.   All our volunteers are background-checked and fingerprinted, per the requirements of the State of California)

    • For babies 0-18 months old, we have a nursery with age-appropriate toys, a changing table, rocking chairs, a playpen for a sleeping baby, snacks (for those old enough to handle solid foods), and volunteers ready to love on your sweet baby while you enjoy some time listening to the Word of God in church.  The nursery is located next to the Women's restroom in the courtyard.  If you need to nurse during the service or want to hang out with your baby to let them play, the "Parents' Room' is equipped with a TV so you can watch the service.
    • Toddlers aged 18 months to 4 years are in preschool room 33 (a classroom off the courtyard).  Kids aged 4 have their own class in room 32 during the 11:00 am service.  The focus for both Preschool rooms is to immerse kids and preschoolers in the gospel through every story, theological concept, and call to mission from Genesis to Revelation. 
    • Elementary-aged kids are in room 24 learning from a Christ-centered Bible study curriculum that looks at the big picture of God's story—the story of redemption through Jesus Christ. Each week, kids of all ages will follow a chronological timeline of Bible events, all the while learning how each story points to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
    • Pre-Junior High kids (grades 5 and 6) meet in room 25. 
  • Yes, we do have areas where you are welcome to nurse your little one in privacy.  In addition to using the benches outside the nursery room off the courtyard next to the Women's restroom, we also have a room we call the "Parent Room".  It is located in the sanctuary foyer in front of the Women's restroom.  The Parent Room is equipped with a TV to watch the service, soft couches, a changing table, toys to entertain your baby, and a charging station for your devices. 

  • There is plenty of space to park your strollers around the church.  Directly outside the Parent Room in the sanctuary foyer is ample space for multiple strollers, as well as outside the Preschool and Nursery rooms located off the courtyard.
