KC Kids

Church for
children!

Every weekend at KC Kids, we offer children the opportunity to experience fun, age-appropriate sessions where the Gospel is taught and demonstrated in creative and developmentally relevant ways. Each of our programs are designed to show kids how Jesus is at the centre of every story.

Programs

During our Sunday service we offer the following programs for kids aged 1-11 years old:

Creche: ages 12 months - 4

Expect a welcoming and fun environment for little ones to experience the Big Love of God! Three adult volunteers and a couple of student helpers are rostered on each week, and work together to create an environment that is safe, fun, and meaningful for our littlest people. Parents are welcome to sign in and drop their children off from 9:30am.

Typically a session will include free play, music, sensory play, crafts, stories, and morning tea.

Small Kids: ages 4 - 7

Each week in small kids we have two adult volunteers who lead the session, with the support of a couple of student helpers. Our aim during Small Kids is to make much of Jesus and the hope we have in Him, as well as to foster a culture of fun, connection and authenticity among the kids. This is a space where kids can hear the gospel each week and feel known and loved by their leaders and peers.

Some weeks we may go on excursions to a local field to play some outdoor games and to eat our morning tea. Please provide your kids with their own hats and water bottles. Sign in is from 9:30am.

Big Kids: ages 8 - 11

The Big Kids sessions at KC are intended to be deep. We want these older children to really grapple with God’s words and God’s ways. We are wanting to help foster in them a heart that is hungry to know God and all he’s called them to as disciples; in life, in faith, and in community.

No aspect of the Gospel is withheld as we facilitate group discussions and lessons that encourage the kids to open up, ask questions, share stories and mutually encourage one another in their journey of faith.

Our typical sessions include a story, based on our curriculum. Weather permitting, our team leaders may take the group to Subiaco Primary Oval for activities and morning tea.

Values

Everything we do at KC Kids centres around our KC Kids values.

Gospel Centeredness

We endeavour to teach our children not only what the gospel story is, but also how to respond to it; first in salvation and then in every aspect of life. All Scripture points to Jesus, and we delight in helping our kids find and follow Him!

Living Faith

We joyfully teach our kids the foundations of faith, helping them know God, embrace Jesus' work for us, and walk in a personal relationship with Him. We strive to show how the Holy Spirit is living and active and help children cultivate a desire for His work in their lives.

Community

We work to ensure that the kids feel loved and known by their church community creating opportunities to actively participate, serve one another, and witness the gospel to others, in particular to other children.

Fun and Wonder

We are all created with a sense of wonder, and in KC Kids we want to foster that reality. Laughter and joy open our hearts to deeper relationships with God, and each other. We want the children and volunteers to enjoy KC Kids and to look forward to it during the week!

Safety

The safety of our children, families, and volunteers is vital. We create a secure environment where kids and volunteers thrive, and families trust their children are safe. All volunteers undergo a thorough screening process, including a Working With Children Check, First Aid training, Safe Ministry training, and character references.

Kids Team

Our KC Kids team is composed of over 50 friendly adult and student Volunteers who wholeheartedly embrace the joyful challenge of making the deep truths of God understandable to young children.

Each week, we have the privilege of teaching these little hearts about the big love of God. We pray that these encounters will be pivotal in each child eventually developing a flourishing, personal faith in Jesus Christ!

KC Kids FAQs

Do you have a class for kids under 1 year old?

We love the little ones at KC! We don’t have a dedicated KC Kids group for under 1’s, however they are more than welcome to join the Creche sessions with a parent or guardian for the duration of the glass.
Alternatively the back of the auditorium has chairs reserved just for parents during service, where the little ones are welcome. We also have a parents room that has seats and live-streaming audio if you would prefer some privacy while nursing. Nappy changing facilities are available for use in our accessible bathroom.

‍

What time is check-in & check-out for KC Kids?

Our check in time is from 3:30pm! This means parents are able to arrive early, sign in their children, grab something from the cafe and connect with other people before the service. Typically our services end around 5:30pm at which point kids can be checked out. Please remember to check your kids out each week from their classrooms as soon as service is finished.

Do you provide morning tea?

Yes, we serve all age groups a healthy morning tea of mixed fruits and rice crackers while KC Kids is on. To keep things simple for our volunteers, please ensure your children have their own water bottles.

Do you cater for dietary requirements?

To cater to the most kids possible, we only serve fruit and plain rice crackers in KC Kids.

Do your volunteers have police clearance?

All of our adult volunteers are required to have a working with children check, as well as two references. Online first aid training training is offered to all our volunteers too.

What is the sign in / out process?

Sign in can be done at the check-in desk via our iPad. Once service is finished, please let the leaders know when you’re ready to collect your kids and we will sign them out on our sign out stations located on devices right there in the classroom.

How can I volunteer to help with kids?

We would love to chat more if you are interested in participating within KC Kids! Please speak with any of our volunteers, or our Kids Coordinator in person or via email: kids@perthchurch.com.

Who is Jesus to you? Lord and saviour? Prophet? Teacher? Or the greatest con man who ever lived? While who Jesus is has always been a point of debate, one thing every historian agrees on is that Jesus was a real, living, breathing human being. This series explores and reveals the incredible realities of Jesus through the lens of Colossians.
