RCNAZ KIDS: Growing Strong in Faith
{Nursery to 6th Grade}
RCNAZ Children's Ministries has several outstanding and fun Christian programs throughout the year for kids of all ages. We strive toward building meaningful, personal and lifelong friendships with our Lord Jesus.
Our atmosphere is positive, exciting and made for learning complete with age-tailored Bible lessons and activities. We guide children to grow up strong in God's love and Word while helping them to build supportive bonds with their families and community.
Our nursery is open for children ages 0 to 4 for care with a qualified adult caretaker. Our children's elementary programs welcome children ages Pre-K through 5th grade. For grades 6th to 12th, please visit our RCNAZ Youth page.
When you arrive, please check in at the Sunday School counter or with your leader.
This is the place where fun begins
and love never ends!
