Wiggle Worship Room

The Wiggle Worship Room is a safe and fun place for children aged infant to 5 years.  The room is staffed by volunteer parents and supervised by our Family Ministry Coordinator.  Bible based stories and activities are presented based on a child’s age with appropriate play always available.  Children may come to the Wiggle Room prior to the primary Sunday service (10:00 am), and will return to their families for communion.

Sunday School

Children who are in Elementary School (grades 1-5) are welcome and encouraged to join our Sunday School Class in the church library. Our Family Ministry Coordinator will use age-appropriate materials (stories, games and puzzles) to discuss the scripture readings for that week.  Children should meet in the Wiggle Worship Room prior to the beginning of the primary Sunday service (10:00 a.m.) and will rejoin their families for communion. Our Sunday School meets each Sunday during the school year.

First Communion & Confirmation

First Communion and Confirmation classes are conducted annually during the spring. Christ Church practices open communion for all ages.  Children are encouraged to be full participants in the Eucharist with their families. For those children who have not received communion, or do not understand its significance, are encouraged to participate in a First Communion class given in the spring of each year.

Confirmation classes for ages 12 to adult are held annually in the Spring, and taught by our Interim Rector.  Confirmation is held on the Sunday of the Bishop’s annual visitation.

Youth Group

Every Sunday evening from 7 to 8 p.m. during the school year, the Youth Group of Christ Church meets in the Conference Room / Wiggle Room. All youth in middle and high school are invited to participate.  Each week activities vary from discussions to group games and offer time to bond and make friends in a safe non-judgmental setting facilitated by our Family Ministry Coordinator.

Family Dinners

Christ Church Kent Island started its monthly Family Dinners in October 2022. On the first Sunday of every month, all friends and families are invited to enjoy delicious food and great company. Middle and high schoolers can join the youth group right after the meal. While there is no charge for dinner, we kindly ask attendees to bring a dessert to share.

Special Events

October 2024 – Trunk or Treat was a big hit with over 100 children and their families participating.  It was a wonderful opportunity to invite the community onto our campus and share some seasonal joy!
