We offer Sunday childcare for babies 0-3 years old during the 9:00 AM service and 0-4 years old during the 10:30 AM service. Our part time nursery worker Chyrl Durling, alongside our rotating volunteers/children's missionaries, and will always be there to greet your little one, teach them about Jesus, and happily snuggle them while you get spiritually fed in the church service. 

• We take safety very seriously at Coastal Oaks and every member of the Kids Ministry is thoroughly background checked before being permitted to serve

Our current Kids Church curriculum (birth-5th grade) is the Gospel Project written and published by Lifeway. The Gospel Project is a weekly Bible study that helps kids dive deep into the big story of the Bible—God’s plan to rescue His people through His Son, Jesus Christ. 

**Please sign your children in at the Kids Ministry Sign-In Desk BEFORE you head into service with them **

Kids Church begins after the singing portion of our 10:30 worship service. Kids are encouraged to sit with their families and praise the Lord until they are dismissed from the Worship Center - a teacher will be there to lead them out to their classrooms in the Kids Wing. Kids Church concludes at the end of the 10:30 service. If you will be attending a 10:30 Life Group and need an adult to sit with your child during the singing portion of the service we will have a teacher available to do so, please just let the person at the sign-in desk know that you will need this service and we will take care of it!

We can't wait to see y'all!!

A few key features of our excellent Sunday curriculum are:

• The focus on Jesus: Helps kids see how the whole Bible points to Jesus and the gospel.
• It connects the dots: the chronological study plan unites the big story and themes of Scripture.
• Living the story: Helps kids avoid moralistic thinking through gospel-soaked discipleship.
• Interactive & engaging: Fun extras like art, videos, music, and activities keep your kids engaged every week.

Our current Midweek Program curriculum is also written and published by Lifeway. 

We use the "Good News" curriculum in the nursery and with grades preK-2nd and the "Forged" curriculum with grades 3rd-5th. This material also works flawlessly as a stand-alone program, so you never have to worry about whether your kids will be able to keep up with their classmates if they missed church last Sunday- they'll all be seeing the lesson material for the first time together!

** The "Good News" curriculum takes our younger kids and toddlers on a journey through the four Gospels that tell us about who Jesus is and why He came. The current volume explores the themes and purposes of the Gospels as they learn how each account of the same story seamlessly weaves different details together to share the Good News of Jesus and the kingdom of God in a fun, high-energy format that teaches kids to know Jesus Christ and to grow in a relationship with Him thru Bible stories, Scripture memory, mission activities, age-appropriate life application, and recreational games!

**The "Forged" curriculum is designed to sharpen upper elementary/preteens' worldview according to Biblical principles. As these kiddos move toward their teenage years the Bible can help refine their faith and prepare them to understand and interact with the world around them and the low-tech sessions in "Forged" are intentionally created to facilitate age-appropriate discussions on truth, identity, and relationships.

SAFETY PROTOCOL:

• DROP-OFF: Parents must drop-off AND sign-in their child in person at the Kids Ministry Sign-In desk for each class (children may not show up without their parent to class time) - this is for the child's safety
• PICK-UP: Parents must pick-up AND sign-out their child in person at the Kids Ministry Sign-In desk for each class (children may not leave class without their parent) - this is for the child's safety
  

CentriKid is our camp this year for completed 3rd- completed 5th grades, hosted in Trinity Pines, TX July 14-18 and I’m super excited! At CentriKid 2025, kids will discover what it means to live out our calling through the adventure of following Christ! CentriKid website

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Due to Chloe's maternity leave, Amber Irving will be stepping up to direct Kids Camp this year (Bless that amazing lady!) her contact email is Kids@coastaloakschurch.org - please contact her if you are interested in sending your child to camp this summer!

April 13, 2025 after the 10:30 service ends head on over to the Family Life Center (aka "the gym") where we will be hosting a "Donate-for-your-plate" Spaghetti dinner followed by a Silent Auction for homemade desserts (made by our camp kids and their families!)    100% of the money raised at our April 13th event will go to covering our participating kids' camp costs- last year this one wonderful fundraiser (plus generous donations from our church family) covered all the kids' necessary costs for camp! We pray for the same incredible blessing again this year!
