For kids ages 3 years to 5th grade, this is a time for our kids to grow in community and in Christ. Starting at 10:00 AM on Sunday mornings, our kids are encouraged by Sunday School leaders who love kids! Our kids are hungry, and we want to equip them with a foundation to launch them forward into growing their faith.

Our annual Easter Eggspedition is a time where family teams work together to complete the challenge of finding their Easter Eggs. This is a fun event for our church families to achieve the Eggspedition Mission together!

This community event is a time for our families to use their creativity to decorate their trunks and for kids to fill their buckets! We have face painting, activities, food, and games. It is an awesome time to serve our community and church and make connections! This event is typically held the Wednesday prior to Halloween.

At Rise Up With Jesus, families will explore surprising details about Jesus’ resurrection on that glorious Sunday morning 2,000 years ago. During this interactive event, families will experience the miraculous truth of what really happened that morning when Jesus conquered death. The sights, sounds, and smells of Easter morning will draw kids and families closer to God…and to each other! Hand-in-hand, they’ll journey through captivating stations that drive home one irresistible truth: Jesus is alive today!

For our church families, this is a 3-hour evening of fun where kids are hanging out, creating, watching a movie, and so much more. It is also a time where parents have 3 hours to do what they need to do get done! This is a registration event.

CMC Clinton holds baptism as a sacrament. In a sacrament, God uses common elements – in this case, water – as a sign of God’s divine and prevenient grace. Baptism is administered by the church as the Body of Christ. It is the act of God through the grace of Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit.

Clearly an infant can do nothing to save himself or herself, but is totally dependent on God’s grace, as we all are – whatever our age.

If you are interested in having your child baptized, please contact our Senior Pastor. We are excited for you and your family during this time, and we cannot wait to celebrate alongside you!

When the school year begins, as a church we love to circle around our students and teachers to pray over their year! In each service, the students and teachers are recognized, and they, their school year, and their backpacks (or binders) are blessed! Join us this year on Promotion Sunday in both the Traditional and Connection services to start off the school year well!

For our birth–5 years kiddos, a nursery is provided. With paid staff & volunteers, we love hanging out with our littlest members of the family. For more information about the nursery, check out our packet for all the procedures, protocol, and information.

This is a time in your life that you get to know more about Jesus and the history of CMC Clinton! Through Confirmation, the confirmands are presented with the Gospel & membership information. At the end of the process, kids have the opportunity to make two different informed decisions – following Jesus & becoming a member of CMC Clinton.  We will have a good time through small group study, fun activities, relationships with mentors, and the Confirmation Retreat! The Director of Kids Ministry & Director of Youth Ministry will be co-leading, and they CANNOT WAIT! Confirmation meets on Sunday Mornings at 10:00 am in Room E203.

Lead by our Music Director, our preschoolers are introduced to worship and leading worship through simple rhythms, melody making, and simple songs. These kids sure make a joyful noise to the Lord, and this is a fun-filled time of knowing Jesus through worship. Throughout the year, the Cherub Choir kiddos lead worship in both services. We love seeing these kids serve and share their gifts (and energy) beginning at such a young age.

Cherub Choir meets during the Sunday School hour as part of their weekly worship.
Children’s Choir for K-6th Grade meets on Wednesday nights as a part of the Kids BLAST weekly programming.

Children’s Handbell Choir is an opportunity for our 1st – 6th graders to be introduced to instruments and opportunities to lead worship. This group meets every Wednesday at 4:15 PM in the balcony of the sanctuary. There is an emphasis on music theory and note reading. Kids will have the opportunity to lead worship during the Traditional worship service.
