At Dream City Church, nurturing the faith of our youngest members is a vital part of our mission. As Jesus Himself instructed, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14
Our Young Children’s Ministry, Dream City Kids, provides an engaging and pleasant environment where children can discover Jesus and develop their relationship with Him in an atmosphere suitable to their maturity level and intellectual understanding. The joy and simplicity of children enable them to learn how to love Jesus purely and unconditionally, and our goal with this ministry is to foster that natural inclination.
Who Is Dream City Kids For?
Dream City Kids is for children from infancy through fifth grade and offers age-appropriate programs designed to meet the needs of each developmental stage:
- Nursery (Ages 0-3): Our nursery provides a safe and loving space for infants and toddlers. Trained volunteers engage with the little ones through gentle care, play, and simple lessons about God’s love.
- Preschool (Ages 3-5): Preschoolers are introduced to foundational biblical truths through interactive stories, songs, and activities that make learning about God exciting and memorable.
- Elementary (Grades 1-5): Elementary-aged children delve deeper into the Bible, exploring who God is and who we are in Him. They participate in dynamic worship, engaging lessons, and small group discussions that encourage them to develop godly character by pursuing Jesus and loving others.
Our Approach to Young Children’s Ministry
Dream City Church’s approach to children’s ministry is built upon three core values: safety, love, and fun.
- Safety
We understand that parents need assurances that their children are in a secure environment. All our volunteers undergo thorough training and background checks. We utilize a comprehensive check-in system that generates a unique claim code for child pickup, ensuring that only authorized individuals can retrieve children from our care. Our ministry facilities are designed with child safety as a priority, providing clean and secure spaces for all activities. - Love
Every child is a precious gift from God, and we are committed to showing them unconditional love and acceptance. Our volunteers and staff are passionate about building meaningful relationships with each child, offering encouragement and support as they navigate their faith journey. We strive to create an atmosphere where children feel valued and understood, fostering a sense of belonging within the church community that will build a lasting foundation for their futures. - Fun
We believe that learning about God should be fun for kids. Our programs are designed to captivate children’s interest through creative environments, upbeat worship, exciting games, and interactive lessons. By making church a place they look forward to attending, we hope to instill a lifelong love for Jesus and His teachings by making church a place they look forward to attending.
Partnering with Families
We know parents are the primary spiritual influencers in their children’s lives. Dream City Kids aims to come alongside families, providing resources and support to help integrate faith into daily life. Through regular communication, take-home materials, and family-oriented events, we equip parents to continue the conversation about God at home, reinforcing the lessons learned during church activities.
Opportunities for Growth and Service
Beyond our weekly programs, Dream City Kids encourages children to put their faith into action. We emphasize the importance of serving like Jesus by focusing on missions and outreach, taking care to recognize each child’s unique gifts. Children have opportunities to participate in service projects within the church and the broader community, teaching them the value of compassion and generosity from a young age.
