Commonway Kids

Helping kids experience God in a real way!

Commonway Kids cares for and ministers to children aged birth to 5th grade. We have classes weekly during our worship services as well as special events throughout the year.

We have a safety-first approach to care for your family’s physical, emotional, and spritual health. All adults working with children are screened and we have safety protocols for our children’s area.

Our Approach

Faith with a Kids & Parents Approach

Our goal is to partner with parents and help you be a part of their spiritual development as they get a first look of the person and values of Jesus.

We are a Think Orange church and focus on fostering whole family growth and center on parent/child relationships around faith development.

There are Basic Truths that we focus on at Commonway Kids:

Preschool Ages – 1) God made us. 2) God loves us. 3) Jesus wants to be our friend forever.

Elementary Ages – 1) I need to make the wise choice. 2) I can trust God no matter what. 3) I need to treat others the way I want to be treated.

Classrooms

Sunday Morning Groups

Each Sunday at Commonway Kids, we break our students up into a few intentional groups (with some additional flexibility for group size).

  • Nursery
  • Todlers
  • Preschool
  • Elementary (split into age appropriate small groups)

Unique Needs

Caring For Special Situations

We believe that every child is uniquely capable. Every child deserves to have meaningful opportunities to experience Jesus and we are committed to caring for special needs at Commonway Church.

When helpful, a Buddy Adult is used to provide direct care and 1 on 1 attention as children participate in their class.

A children’s sensory room (opening Summer 2022) will provide a safe space for children who need to unplug, find calm, and be supported.

The best way is to subscribe to our email updates here. We also a hold Family Experience meeting each month (usually the first Sunday of the month) following the 10:30 AM whole church gathering. This lasts approximately 20 minutes, and it is a fun and meaningful way for parents and kids to connect together around what we’re learning about all month. We also have a Facebook page, Instagram feed, and Twitter feed that provides many regular updates.

Yes! We have several tools for you to be able to keep the Sunday conversation going all through the week. When you talk about what we learn on Sunday throughout the week, then we can be more effective in being a consistent and comfortable place for your child to be able to ask questions and grow in his/her faith.
