CHILDREN’S CHURCH REGISTRATION
2025/2026
Big News! Central is launching a brand-new Children’s Church program—DIG IN—this September! DIG IN isn’t just another curriculum; it’s an exciting new way for kids to experience God’s Word. Through fun, hands-on activities, children will ask big questions, discover real answers, and see their faith come alive. It’s simple for teachers, thrilling for kids, and designed to inspire lasting heart change. We can’t wait to see how God will move as our children DIG IN!
Here’s how you can help:
- Parents: Please register your child(ren) for our programs in advance here.
- Grandparents: Please share this news with parents so they can authorize you to bring your grandchildren to our programs at Central.
Starting in September, children will not be admitted to our programs without proper parental or legal guardian consent.
