Children's MINISTRY











Developing a Relationship with Jesus

The goal of our Children's Ministry is to bring our youngest members from the community into a relationship with Jesus. We believe children have the capacity to walk intimately with God and we help guide them through practical skills learning, Bible stories, songs and crafts.

  • Kids' Cooking Classes (Boys & Girls Grades 3-6)

    Kids are invited to a series of free cooking classes at Cephas Church, where they learn to prepare a healthy meal and enjoy eating supper together. They also play games and have a Bible lesson. These Friday afternoon classes run from 3:30-6:00 pm, and are overseen jointly with Youth Unlimited.
