Children's Ministries

Many ministries in our church.

Nursery (First Impressions)
Sunday School
Boys (Cadets)
Girls (GEMS)

First Impressions (infant and toddler nursery)
There is a nursery for infants and toddlers available during the Sunday morning worship service in the lower level of the church facility.

We have a pager display system in the sanctuary. When you bring your child to the nursery you will be assigned a number. (Regular members keep the same number from week to week).

People are needed to pray for the children that they will see and learn about God’s love for them. Pray that God will be at the heart of this ministry and He will use it for His glory and pray for the volunteers who are teaching and caring for the children.

There are many opportunities to be involved in this ministry. Volunteers are needed to teach and care for these children, as well as clean and organize the toys and supplies. Please prayerfully consider being a part of this ministry to our youngest children. For more information, contact the church office.

Sunday School
The Lord has blessed our congregation with a number of children who have been able to participate in our Sunday School program. We have approximately 64 children in the program, from age 3 - Grade 5, and 39 leaders/assistants who lead on a rotational basis for which we are very thankful! Every Sunday, following the children's message in our morning worship service, we gather together with the children and leaders/assistants, for a short time of worship in the fellowship hall, where we sing and pray together. From there, the children break up into five age groups and meet with their leader(s)/assistant in their classroom, where they continue their worship, have a Bible story and do follow-up activities which reinforce the message of the Bible story (e.g. crafts, rhymes, songs, memory work, story scripts, workbook activities, etc.). The "God Loves Me" program is used for Age 3's and 4's. The LiFE (Living in Faith Everyday) program is used for Kindergarten - Grade 5.

The children participate in the worship service from time to time through singing and the observance of the Lord's Supper.

Our current collection is for "Sight 4 Kids" where visually impaired children are provided eyeglasses through Christian Blind Mission International.

Thank you for your prayers for both the children and leaders/assistants of the program! Thank you for your wonderful cookie donations! Above all, we thank the Lord for His blessings upon this children's ministry!

Victoria Calvinist Cadet Corps
A club for spiritual nurturing of boys in grades 1-6 from both Victoria Christian Reformed Church (VicCRC) and Christ Community Church (CCC). We meet every other Wednesday night at CCC, 3897 Holland Ave., from 6:30-8:00 pm. Join us for Bible Study, games, projects, crafts, and camping.

Our Cadet Club, along with around 650 clubs across North America, use materials and programming supplied by the Calvinist Cadet Corps. The Calvinist Cadet Corps is a youth ministry organization whose purpose is to provide churches, such as ours, with a ministry program that will enable us to effectively share Christ's love with boys from our church and community.

Us leaders look forward to working with the boys and hope we can build a strong program that is a highlight for the boys.

More information about the VCCC Cadet Program, and Cadeting in general, can be found at our web page.

GEMS
(Girls Everywhere Meeting the Saviour)

GEMS is a club for girls that meets every other Wednesday between September and May at Christ Community Church (CCC), 3897 Holland Ave. from 6:30-8pm. There are three groups: Grades 1-5, Grades 6-8, and the Counselor in Training program for girls in grades 9-12. Volunteer leadership comes from both Victoria Christian Reformed Church (VicCRC) and CCC. This ministry is being blessed in so many ways, through the girls and also amongst the Counselors.

This year's theme: Abba I Belong to You

God is our loving Heavenly Father. Our identity, worth and faith formation is based on the fact that God loves us and call us His children. Knowing that we ARE His children - daughters of the King - should motivate us to live our lives as He instructs - to live as Jesus did. The theme verse is 1 John 3:1.
