Kid Central
At Kid Central, our goal is to help kids understand who Jesus is and how they can share His love with others.
We make check-in as easy as 1-2-3…
We are deeply committed to helping parents as they strive to raise their children in a way that brings God honor. We offer child dedication services as a special time of public ceremony and personal commitment when parents can promise to raise their child in the training and instruction of the Lord.
We’re excited to be celebrating our next child dedications on Saturday, Feb. 27 and Sunday, Feb. 28. To have your child dedicated, click the button below. And if you have questions, please email our Next Gen admin, Marianne Mergen, at [email protected].
At Central, we believe the Bible teaches that a child receives salvation through a personal relationship with Jesus. Personal faith and salvation are not passed down from parent to child, and salvation isn’t the result of participating in a baptism. Instead, baptism is an opportunity for followers of Jesus to tell others they have joined God’s family through personal faith.
Here’s what else you can do for your child to be baptized:
We will contact you with more details after Jon receives your email expressing your child’s interest in being baptized.
Do your kids love to worship through music and dance? Are they excited about the idea of sharing Christ’s love by performing on-stage? Then it’s time to get involved with Central JAM! Central JAM is for kids in 1st-5th grade and meets this spring for five straight Wednesdays, Feb. 17, Feb. 24, March 3, March 10, March 17.
Central JAM will lead worship at all four weekend services March 20-21 (Saturday at 5:00pm, Sunday at 8:00am, 9:30am, and 11:00am).
**PLEASE NOTE: Your child MUST be available and present for all four services to participate this year. We understand that can be difficult with schedules, but this is a requirement for this year’s performances. While we want every family to be able to participate, we will not be able to make exceptions. Thank you for your understanding.
Central Jam Calendar
Central JAM practices run from 6:15 to 7:15pm. Please note: Pizza will be served at 5:45.
Again, please remember that your child MUST be able to perform at all four services this year.
Every year, kids who have completed kindergarten through 5th grade will spend a week practicing fun skills, learning about Jesus, and experiencing an unforgettable week of camp right here at Central.
We are SO excited to announce that Skill School is BACK this summer! Skill School will run June 28-July 1 and registration will be opening soon. We can’t wait to see your kids here this summer.
And if you want to help teach a Skill School course this year, we would LOVE to hear from you. Just visit centralsf.org/ssteacher to let us know what you think you’d like to teach and we’ll get in touch with you. (We offer free childcare for parents who volunteer to instruct a class!)
If you’re not sure about teaching a Skill School course, check out the video below to see the impact YOU can make on the next generation at Central.
Due to scheduling conflicts this summer, we will not be able to host Eagle Lake Day Camp at Central this summer. We will still have a blast with Skill School, so check that out if you’re interested in a fun summer activity for kids!
The volunteers at Central are such a vital part of the Kid Central ministry. All of our volunteers have gone through a careful interview process, including a background check and special training. It is our commitment to you as a children’s ministry team to give your child the best experience we can while they are here.
