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.
Contact our church office at 705-743-4904 (Tuesday-Friday, 8 am-noon), for more information about the programs below.
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. Additionally, they play games, have a Bible lesson and do crafts. These Friday afternoon classes run from 3:30 - 6:00 pm, and are overseen jointly with Youth Unlimited.
The Fall 2024 session of classes are held every other Friday after school. Please call the church office (phone number and office hours above) for more information and to register your child.
After-School Drop-In Program at "The Hub" (Grades 3-8)
Our neighbour the Hub Youth Centre is again hosting a free after-school drop-in for youth. This program is overseen by Youth Unlimited with support from Cephas Church.
The drop-in program at the Hub Youth Centre (238 Goodfellow Road) takes place directly after school on Thursday afternoons, from 3:30 - 6:00 pm. It is available to any youth
ages 8-14 or in grades 3-8. The drop-in program runs throughout the school year (aside from holidays) until June 19, 2025. Contact elementary@youthunlimitedkaw.com to register your child.
