Leading Children to Jesus

Creek Kids Children’s Ministry at Sugar Creek is a fun, safe place where your children ages birth to grade 5 learn about God and the Bible. Your kids will experience engaging, age-appropriate lessons each week that teach them about the Bible and what it means to follow Jesus. Watch this short video to see our Creek Kids ministry in action.

Infants – Kindergarten

Our youngest Creek Kids are given our highest level of care and attention. Our team members help children at this age understand the love of Jesus through engaging stories and fun activities.

Grades 1-5

Sunday mornings at Creek Kids are planned especially for your children, no matter their ages. Through songs, games, interactive activities, and hands-on discovery, children learn how to apply the truth of the Bible to their daily lives. And, they’ll have a whole lot of fun all along the way!

Open Door

At Sugar Creek, we believe all kids should feel loved and be led to life change in Christ. We designed the Open Door ministry specifically for children who have special needs. Watch this video to learn more about this amazing ministry.
