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.
"Our mission in WCKids is to intentionally seek ways to partner with parents to help facilitate this journey.”
During these challenging times, we want you to know that we are praying for our WCKids families. We continue to do what we have always done, partner with parents to make disciples of Jesus Christ. Things may look a little different, but our call is still the same and we are not going anywhere! We know there is a lot of information coming your way from schools, work and the nightly news. Our goal is not to overwhelm you, but to simply provide you with resources that are available if and when you need them. We hope you will take advantage of at least some of our online content. Check out our schedule of weekly events on Facebook and YouTube:

Parents Unlimited
Parents Unlimited (a division of WCKids) is provided on the fourth Tuesday night of each month from 6 to 8 p.m. for elementary-aged children with special needs and their siblings. Contact: Lori Silvestri Books Unlimited - A Virtual Book Club
August 6 at 10 a.m. Join us for a book reading and discussion of The Rosie Project: A Novel by author Graeme Simsion. The book discussion will be led by Lori Silvestri, who leads WC’s ministry for individuals and families who have special needs. This classic romantic comedy gives readers a peek into the life of an adult man living with Asperger Syndrome. The discussion will focus on how the presence of Asperger’s impacts the middle-aged man’s journey through life. If you want to gain some insight into Asperger Syndrome, which is a form of high functioning Autism, this is a great place to start (as this book is funny and entertaining as well as informative). The book is available through most book sellers. The book discussion will be available through Zoom and will be held on August 6, from 10 to 11 a.m. Registration is required online. After registering, participants will be contacted with the Zoom information. 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!
