WC Kids
We believe fostering a personal faith in Jesus Christ in children is one of the most important parts of being a community church. There are many available ministries created for each and every age group, from nursery to sixth grade.

We share our experiences in our common journey of parenting a child with a disability while also learning about community resources, advocating for our children, parenting tools and spiritual care for mom. Registration is required on the church website; Zoom details will be provided upon registration. For more information, please contact Rev. Lori Silvestri. WCKids pledges to continue partnering with you to make disciples of Jesus Christ. Because we cannot be together on Sunday, we are offering Sunday school opportunities for you to do together at home. Each Sunday we release new Preschool and Elementary worship services on both Facebook and YouTube, you can participate in our watch parties or view them at any time that is convenient for your family. To help you continue those lessons, we post activities for each age group on Facebook and in our WCKids Dropbox. The links to Dropbox, Facebook and YouTube can be found below. We hope that you will enjoy having this time together with your kids to connect with Jesus!
