Youth and Children's Ministries at Central Christian Church

My Web Account Member's Portal Contact Us Map Logout

Building relationships between the church’s adults and youth and children is the first priority of our youth and children’s ministry. Involving youth and children in the life, ministry and mission of the church is second. We see our children and young people as full fledged participants in the community of faith.

Some of this happens through organized activities and groups, such as the Sunday school classes.

Philosophy of Participation

Part of our philosophy is to raise up children in a Christian faith community where Biblical, moral, and faith education is geared toward appropriate age, social skills, and stages of cognitive development. However, we also take an approach where children and young adults should not be continually segregated from the main body of the church, to be limited in interaction only to similar youth. Rather youth should be given the opportunity for mentoring and spiritual role modeling by serving along side adults where possible.

Some Examples

In the past year our youth have made great contributions in time, sweat, and talent in such ministries as:

The Central Dog Park (maintenance, promotion, dog sitting)
Westside Players (actors, production help in adult and children’s theatre)
Fourth of July Parade (float construction, decoration, gift preparation)
Junior Deacons (helping with administration of worship service)
Morning Worship (youth choir, duets, scripture reading, slide preparation, offering, communion)

Children’s Sermon

Our morning worship also includes a short children’s message aimed at children up to nine years old given by several different people each month.

Children's Choir

Our youth Choir, led by Nick Seeley, gives opportunity to bring praises year round to our morning worship and special seasonal services. They rehearse on Wednesday after the 6:00 p.m. supper

Youth Education

Classes for school-age children are held on Sunday mornings 9:45am-10:45am, upstairs in education wing. We also have frequent field trips across Dallas for fellowship and fun.

Camping program

For 3rd Grade through College, Central Christian Church shares camping program with 80 other Christian churches in the North Texas Area. Most of them are held at the Crossing Point Camp grounds in Athens Texas.
