FISH Children's Ministry
The FISH (Fun, Inspirational, Spiritual, Home) Children’s Ministry at Christ Lutheran Church exists to bring the light of Christ into the world by loving children and their parents, inspiring and equipping them to become lifelong followers of Jesus.
We accomplish this vision and mission through relationships developed in our Worship Services, Nursery, Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, and the family-friendly environment that is created during worship and through the physical space of our church.
“Jesus said to them, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’ And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them and blessed them.” Mark 10:14-16
Our current curriculum is "Digging into the LIFE OF JESUS"
We hope you join us and we pray that Christ’s blessings are passed on to your children!

Worship Services
Christ Lutheran Church wants you to know ALL children are welcome and wanted in our worship services! Our children will learn the value of worshiping our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, by watching us worship.
The Children’s Message is a special lesson geared toward children during our Sunday worship service at 10:30am. The message is led by our staff, youth, or other lay leaders who find creative ways to tell God’s Big Story so that our little ones can understand the precious gift of His love for them. After the children's message the children, ages four through sixth grade, exit the sanctuary and head to the youth area for Sunday School class time.
For children who attend the 9:00am worship service, “Kid Kits” are available in the back of the sanctuary so that children can do quiet activities during the worship service. Kits are then returned after the service so that they are available for the following weekend.
Periodically the children's choir perform during the worship service Children's Message.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them upon your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your house and on your gates. Deut. 6:4-9
