Sunday School
What is Sunday School like at Christus?
Learning about the wonderful, life-giving stories in the Bible is incorporated into the Children’s Sermon each week.
Each week in Sunday School, children explore Old and New Testaments stories through technology, cooking, art, science, games and more.
Sunday School begins September 14 and is held most Sundays from 10:15am-11:00am.
2025/2026 Schedule TBD
Ages PreK through 5th grade are welcome. If you have questions or want your child to join our Sunday School, please email Christine, Director of Youth Ministry.
“Kids teach the faith just as much as the adults!”
Confirmation
What is Confirmation like at Christus?
Youth are one of the highlights at Christus. Youth are actively involved in many parts of Christus life: worship, music, faith education, fellowship, and mission/service. Our Confirmation program engages 6th, 7th, and 8th grade youth in a three-year program culminating in the Rite of Confirmation.
Through dynamic large group teaching, youth embark on a journey through the 10 Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer, and The Apostles’ Creed. Youth are able to process the lesson deeper during small group time which is facilitated by two adult volunteers (mentors).
2025/2026 Schedule TBD
Contact Christine if you are interested.
“Confirmation is about learning real faith & applying it to everyday life.”
G2: High School Youth
G2 – High School Youth
The high school youth are welcome to participate in our youth group, G2, where faith and fellowship go hand in hand. All of our youth programs are open and welcoming to all youth who would like to come and check it out.
Your family does not have to be a member of Christus. G2 meets Wednesday evenings beginning at 6:00pm at Christus.
“The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.”
– Søren Kirkegaard
Vacation Bible School
Sonworld adventure park august 11-15, 2025
Bring your kids to SonWorld Adventure Park Vacation Bible School this summer.
A visit to a theme park is a day of choices. The clickety-clack of a wooden coaster, or the speedy swoosh of tubular steel? The cool tartness of frozen lemonade, or the gooey richness of a giant cinnamon roll?
The choices we make in a theme park will determine the kind of day we'll have. But the big and little choices we make every day will determine what kind of lives we'll have, our relationships with those around us, and ultimately our relationship with God. And all that begins with our understanding of who is Jesus and how will we choose to respond to him. At SonWorld Adventure Park, your kids will meet various people who encountered Jesus and discover how they responded to him.
At SonWorld Adventure Park, there's no height requirement, the lines are short and everyone gets a good view of the parade. But hold your hats and glasses, because it's sure to be a life-changing ride!
Crafts, games, music, Bible story time, snack and more!
