We'll see how the beginning of all things and the end of all things are all connected by God, who is both the Alpha and the Omega.


I'm New! What else do I need to know?

AWANA:
AWANA is an awesome night designed just for your kids! They will engage in games, bible lessons, songs, and learning Bible verses.

Kingdom Kids Preschool:
A ministry of Christ Community, Kingdom Kids is an accredited preschool licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services.

American Heritage Girls:

For more information, email  

Your child's safety is very important to us. Every weekend, your child is assigned a random three-digit alpha-numeric code on their name tag and your security receipt that you will use to pick-up your child from kidcity. Should we need you during the service, we will send you a quick text message!

Each weekend, your kids are joined by amazing volunteers that love God and want to hang out with your kiddos. Each volunteer has met with a staff member, gone through training, and is screened with a background check.

Christ Community Church believes that children are a gift from God. Child dedication is a wonderful tradition where we get to recognize and celebrate parents publicly declaring their commitment to teach their kids the importance of a relationship with Jesus Christ. Our next Child Dedication weekend will be in the Fall please watch here for date to be announced. If you have any questions about Child Dedication, contact Sam at .

EXPECTATIONS OF PARENTS:

  • At least one or both of the parents have made a commitment to having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We recognize that there are many families in which only one parent has come to faith and the spouse that is not yet a believer would like to participate—that is okay.
  • Parent(s) align with Christ Community’s beliefs and values.
  • Parents commit to modeling personal purity and to lead by example in matters of faith and conduct. That means living a life of sexual purity according to God's standards—avoiding pre-marital sexual relations and living together before marriage. Therefore, parents that are living together and are not married cannot participate in the dedication ceremony.
