Kids, Youth & Families
Urban Village Church is here to support families, children, and youth. Our mission is to create sacred spaces for kids, teens, and families to explore God’s message of love and grace. We are so grateful that God made so many different families in so many different ways to build community together.
Kids Church
Kid’s Church for 3-11 year olds is provided during worship at all of our sites. Kids are encouraged to start Sunday worship with grownups for singing. They’ll be dismissed for Kid’s Church after the Passing of the Peace—about 15 minutes into the service. Kid’s will also have an opportunity to receive communion.
Teens
Teens are fully welcome and encouraged to participate in the life of the church, whether its serving communion, singing on the worship team, or volunteering in our service activities.
Several times a year we hold a Confirmation Class for youth to explore and define their own faith.
Families
Throughout the year we also have small groups for families with young kids, for foster families, retreats for Advent and Lent, and other fun activities to engage every part of our families and souls.
