SW Jr. and SW Kids are the children’s programs at Southwest Christian Church. We offer programming from birth-5th grade where kids are encouraged to connect with God, find their place in His Big Story, and respond to Him through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Sunday classes are available on Sunday’s at 9:30 am and 11:00 am.
Wednesday classes are available at Fuel, our mid-week gathering for families during the school year. A family dinner is served at 5:30. The cost for dinner is $5 per person. Children 5 and under are free. Dinner is free for first time guests. Classes begin at 6:00 pm and end by 6:55 pm to ensure everyone is home in time for school night routines.
All SW Kids volunteers are screened through national criminal background-checks and receive bi-yearly child protection certification through MinistrySafe. Volunteers also receive periodic ministry training and are passionate about Jesus and kids.
Every child is valued by God, therefore we value every child. We embrace each and every child who comes to SW Kids and seek to partner with families to meet their needs and show them God’s love.
SW Jr.
What a joy to share Christ’s love with the youngest among us! SW Jr. is for ages nursery through pre-k. The nursery has consistent, caring and experienced staff to care for your child. Children age 2 (by September 1) through 4 years learn, create, and play together in their own class.
During our 6:00 Wednesday Fuel class kids ages 2-4 are together singing, playing and learning together in a fun, casual environment.
During our 2024 Fall/Winter session our preschoolers will be learning a 4-week mini series titled “I Know The Plans I Have For You.” Using old crayons as an object lesson, kids will learn about the plans God has for them, and how He makes us new in Christ. Over the course of the 4 weeks, they will see the old crayons transformed into new crayons they will be able to take home and use. Starting in mid-September, they will begin a nine week series on the Books of the Bible, where through repetition, games, and music the preschoolers will become familiar with the books of the Old and New Testaments.

Watching children learn and grow in their understanding and faith in Jesus is beautiful thing!

This Sunday school class invites children to a light breakfast with dynamic lessons plans that expand their prayer lives, develop deeper relationships, and engage kids in meaningful discussions about their faith and Biblical truths.
During our 11:00 Sunday service kids have a special worship service just for them, then break into small groups by age: K-2nd grades and 3rd-5th grades for further Bible lessons, fun games and activities.
During our 6:00 Wednesday Fuel class kids ages K-5th are together singing, playing and learning together in a fun, casual environment. During our 2024 Fall/Winter session our elementary kids will be participating in weekly rehearsals in preparation for our kids Christmas program scheduled for the evening of Sunday, December 8th. Their evenings will be supplemented with Bible lessons as well. To start they will have a 4-week mini series titled “I Know The Plans I Have For You.” Using old crayons as an object lesson, kids will learn about the plans God has for them, and how He makes us new in Christ. Over the course of the 4-weeks, they will see old, rejected crayons transformed into new crayons they will be able to take home and use. Starting in mid-September, they will begin a nine week series on the Books of the Bible, and by the end of it will be challenged to have memorized them all.
