Family Ministries

Families play a huge role in raising up children to have a real and meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ. The family is the place where daily patterns are learned, and where faith comes alive. Parenting can however be fraught with twists and turns; with the unexpected and the frightening.

At Kortright we promise to walk beside you as a church community as you raise your child or children. We are also always here to talk and pray with you about concerns and struggles and rejoice with you during times of celebration.

We are here to support families by building community for children and youth from birth to high school. Through Nursery, Sunday school, summer programs, mid-week Junior and Senior youth programs, retreats, intentional mentoring, and leadership training, the important business of building relationships, modeling Christian leadership, and loving your kid(s) happens.

Nursery

Our nursery care is available for children aged 0-3 years during our Sunday service.  The nursery provides a safe and welcoming place for children to play and discover in community with experienced childcare volunteers who regularly attend Kortright. You can read our full nursery protocols here: Children’s Page.

Sunday School

Our Sunday School is available for children in grades K-6.  We encourage families with Sunday School aged children to start the morning by staying together in the sanctuary for musical worship.  A slide will cue children and leaders when to move to the East Pod for Sunday School.

Kortright uses the Hyfi cirriculum for Sunday School.  This curriculum teaches the truthes of Scripture in a way that helps kids understand their identity in Christ.  We believe that this curriculum will help kids to develop a character that is rooted in Biblical truths.

Youth

Our Youth meets weekly on Friday evenings, where we prioritize community and discuss what identity in Jesus means!

In addition to our weekly gatherings at the church, we typically plan offsite events to really help our youth build relationships with one another (and have fun). These include anything from bowling and ice skating to going to trampoline parks and youth retreats.
