THE PRAYGROUND

Jesus said...
“Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them, for it is
to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.” (Luke 18:16)

 

We at Christ Church welcome the chatter of children and the patter of little feet.

​

A Prayground is our ministry to young children that provides an intentional space at the back of the sanctuary that was created with the experiential needs of children in mind. The programs is primarily for pre-K through 1st grade, although this is flexible depending on the needs of our church kids. The goal of this space and all that it contains is for kids to be able to use it to experience and participate fully in worship alongside their congregational family, learning the language and symbolism of the Christian community, while expressing worship and prayer in a uniquely childlike way.

 

Simply, it’s a space for young children to be themselves and be part of the church at the same time

 

The Prayground is a place where children can move around, and keep attention by hands-on activities, such as books, puzzles, dolls, stickers, coloring activities, etc. It is a space that allows children to be a part, be heard, and to be invited to the sacraments and singing while providing a developmentally appropriate space. The Prayground is our act of Christian hospitality, and deeply open and affirming of our youngest church participants.
