PAC CITY KIDS
Where Faith Begins
At Pacific City Church, we believe that children are an integral part of our community and that nurturing their faith from an early age is vital. Pac City Kids is a welcoming space designed for children from 1 year old through 5th grade, where they can experience God’s love in an environment that’s engaging, safe, and fun. Our mission is to introduce children to the teachings of Jesus in a way that’s relevant and understandable, helping them form a solid foundation of faith that will grow with them as they mature.
As a parent, you want a place where your child feels comfortable and is excited to learn, and we are dedicated to providing just that. At Pac City Kids, your child’s spiritual development is supported by our caring, trained team members who are committed to creating memorable experiences that leave a lasting impact.
Check-In and Safety
Safety is our top priority at Pac City Kids. When you arrive for our Sunday worship service, simply head to the Pac City Kids check-in booth, where our trained and background-checked team members will be there to welcome you and assist with check-in. Each child receives a name tag, and parents are given a matching tag to ensure a secure and organized pick-up process.
Our team is trained in child safety protocols, and each team member undergoes a thorough background check. We also have procedures in place for emergency situations and conduct regular drills to ensure everyone is prepared. Our commitment to safety allows you to attend the worship service with peace of mind, knowing your child is in caring and capable hands.
Age-Specific Classrooms and Activities
To create an age-appropriate experience, Pac City Kids offers several classrooms that cater to different age groups. Each classroom is thoughtfully designed to meet the unique developmental needs of the children, with age-appropriate materials, toys, and activities. Here’s a breakdown of our classrooms and what your child can expect:
1–2 Years (Nursery): Our nursery provides a warm, nurturing environment where toddlers can experience God’s love through play, songs, and simple activities that engage their senses. Our caregivers focus on providing a safe, comforting space where little ones feel secure and loved.
3–4 Years (Preschool): Preschoolers are introduced to Bible stories, simple crafts, and fun games that begin to teach them about God’s love in a hands-on way. Through structured play and interactive lessons, children start learning foundational truths about Jesus and how much He cares for them.
Kindergarten–2nd Grade: For our early elementary group, we create engaging lessons that focus on Bible stories and character-building principles. Kids participate in crafts, group activities, and discussions that encourage them to ask questions and explore their understanding of God’s love.
3rd–5th Grade: Our older elementary group dives deeper into Bible stories and teachings, with lessons that encourage critical thinking and personal application. These kids explore what it means to follow Jesus in their everyday lives and discuss how they can apply biblical principles at school, with friends, and at home.
Each classroom is led by experienced volunteers and staff who are passionate about working with children and helping them grow in their faith.
A Typical Sunday at Pac City Kids
Every Sunday, Pac City Kids offers a dynamic schedule that blends learning, worship, and play. Here’s what your child can expect:
Welcome and Free Play: After check-in, kids are welcomed into their classrooms and given a chance to settle in with free play. This time allows them to make friends and engage in age-appropriate activities that set a positive tone for the day.
Worship Time: Worship is an essential part of our Sunday experience. Pac City Kids holds its own worship session, where kids sing songs, dance, and praise God in a way that’s exciting and meaningful for them. Music is carefully selected to be engaging and easy to understand, helping children feel the joy of worship.
Bible Lesson: Our Bible lessons are designed to be interactive and relevant. Through storytelling, visuals, and sometimes short videos, we teach the children a Bible story or a lesson about Jesus’s teachings. These lessons are adapted to each age group to ensure they are accessible and impactful.
Activities and Crafts: After the lesson, kids participate in a craft or activity that reinforces what they’ve learned. For instance, a lesson on kindness might include making friendship bracelets, while a story about creation might be followed by a nature-inspired craft. These activities help solidify the lesson and give children something tangible to remember their learning.
Group Prayer and Reflection: At the end of each session, kids gather for a short group prayer, where they learn about the importance of talking to God. They are encouraged to share what they are thankful for, ask questions, and reflect on the day’s lesson.
