Each week we provide an experience where your child will be safe, cared for and loved. They will learn that God loves them and has a plan for their life through age-appropriate activities, worship and Bible stories. Your kids will connect with caring leaders and friends, giving them an early taste of what it means to belong to a church family.
Christ Church Kids meets every Sunday during all worship services with the exception of a few holidays. Please take a moment to register your child before arriving on Sunday. Registering will allow for an easy check-in.
Check out this fantastic play area at Christ Church Oak Brook!
We utilize this during weekend services and also have open play during the week.
Monday–Thursday | 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. | Oak Brook
