We love and value families at Citizens Church. We believe that parents and guardians are called to be the primary disciple-makers of their kids. But our hearts are to partner with parents of elementary schoolers to raise up the next generation, building a strong gospel-centered foundation. We do this through age-specific discipleship at church and by providing tools for families to fulfill their call to make disciples in their homes.
God gives what is best.

Our weekend Elementary ministry is available at each of our services. Children are placed in classrooms based on grade and gender (after 1st grade) before going to large group. You can check in 20 minutes before service and drop off 15 minutes before service.
Kids attend a large group gathering where we worship through song and hear a teaching from the Bible. We build on the foundational truths from our Preschool Ministry and focus on God’s Big Story by teaching the Attributes of God, Promises of God and People of God
Next, they attend small groups where they dig deeper into the lesson they heard during large group, play games, do crafts and learn a monthly memory verse.

3 – 4 times a year we announce births and adoptions at our Celebration Services. We love celebrating growing families and praying for you as you parent and disciple your children. Let us know your family has grown so you can be included in the next Celebration Service.
Has your child recently accepted Jesus as their savior or is asking questions about baptism? Our Family Baptism Class is designed for families to attend together and is great for children who believe they are ready to be baptized and for those who are just beginning to ask questions. This 3-week class includes an overview for parents and age-specific teaching about the gospel, what baptism means and why we do it. This class helps you and your child be prepared to be baptized at our next Celebration Service.
