Mission What to Expect Meet the Leader Resources Serve

Mission & Values

Our mission is to raise up the next Spirit-filled generation
who will change the world.
This is accomplished through our values: the Word of God, worship, prayer, fun, and friendship. We read God’s Word daily, allow it to transform our lives, and teach our children to love and follow it. We connect our hearts to God in worship and invite the Holy Spirit to fill us with His presence and power. We model and inspire a prayerful life so that our children will become mighty prayer warriors who experience the supernatural power of God. We create a happy, engaging environment so our children will love coming to church! We love, grow, learn, and play together.

What to Expect

If your child is in kindergarten through fifth grade, an exciting experience awaits them at Ct’s Playhouse! Our Sunday services follow a kids church model. A typical Sunday includes the following: live worship with our very own CT’s Playhouse worship team, an offering, an active and super fun game, a memory verse song or rap, dynamic teaching from the Bible, a time of response to the Word of God, and small group time where kids meet in groups with adult leaders to connect and pray. Before and after the services are times for the kids to play and make new friends!

Tuesdays in CT's Playhouse

Our Tuesday services follow a kids prayer meeting model. A typical Tuesday includes the following: a special pizza dinner, live worship with the CT’s Playhouse worship team, an offering, an energetic workout, a creative Bible lesson, and a variety of individual and group prayer activities. Our heart for our CT’s Playhouse prayer meeting is to train our kids to pray- to actively teach our children how to pray. We emphasize personal prayers,  intercessory prayers (prayers for others), and Kingdom prayers. We tell our kids that coming to the CT’s Playhouse prayer meeting makes their worship and prayer muscles strong! Similarly to Sundays, we have free time to play before and after the service.
