KID CITY
CITY LIFE CHURCH
Jesus loves the little children! They are precious in His sight. Let’s bring them to Him!
Children are a blessed legacy, responsibility, and hope. Our time, love, and care are well-invested in them. Let’s come alongside each other to raise them together as a community!
In Kid City, children (babies through 5th grade) learn about Jesus… the one who loves them and has big plans for their lives. Their imaginations are shaped by God’s Word. Kids develop healthy relationships with each other and the adults that serve on the Kid City team.
We meet during both the 9:15 a.m. and 11 a.m. services on Sunday morning.
Please feel free to reach out to The Mayor of Kid City, Emily Baker. emily@citylifegr.com

VBS
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL 2026
August 3-6, 2026; 6:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m.
This year’s Vacation Bible school theme will be Made for This Sports and Arts Camp. Each child will be placed on a team for the week to learn new skills, practice some old ones, and grow closer to Jesus. Kids will learn that they were made for creation, made for movement, and made for more! This is an all-hands-on-deck sort of event that we host each year, because at City Life we believe it is our responsibility to raise children up in the way they should go so that when they grow up they do not depart from it.
Everyone at City Life should plan to help in one of the following ways: through prayer in the weeks leading up, through helping prepare for the event by attending one of our VBS prep days this summer, or as a volunteer at VBS on August 3-6 from 6:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m.
WHAT WE’RE TEACHING
‘THE BIGGEST STORY’ AT KID CITY
FOCUS
The Pentateuch, History, Poetry, The Prophets, The Gospels, Acts & Epistles, Revelation
We’re studying the books of the bible, diving deep into the powerful stories and details along the way!
PARENT RESOURCE
To better understand what your kids are learning, check out the four videos linked HERE!
The kids are learning the histories of rulers in the old testaments – both the good rulers who honored and respected God’s word, and the bad ones who God had to punish after being so patient with them. We’re exploring how to worship the right God in the right way, tear down idols, and listen to God’s word.
Kid City is overflowing with God’s love on Sunday mornings. If you’d like to join the Kid City team, please email emily@citylifegr.com.

KID CITY’S CURRICULUM
BIGGEST STORY CURRICULUM
Kid City has decided to focus on bible study and journaling for 2025 and 2026 using a new curriculum. We are very excited to walk alongside families and disciple parents at church who will disciple their children at home. We will use a specific Bible each week to study vibrant stories from: creation to the fall of man and then redemption and the promise of a new home in Zion. Here are the links to the Bible, Family bible with discussion prompts, as well as verse cards we will use. These are simply tools you may use to follow along if you wish to at home. We will provide scripture references and you are more than able to follow along in any bible you already have at home!

Gifted Kids
When we talk about the “gifts” kids have and how they can use them to serve others, have you ever noticed how certain kinds of gifts seem to get more attention than others? It’s easy to tell them they’re a good musician, athlete, public speaker, or even a good leader. But what about those not-so-obvious gifts? What are they, and how can we better recognize them in the kids we raise?
Tip & Resource Archive PDF
We have compiled a PDF of previous Tips & Resources posted on Kid City. This PDF will be updated as new tips/resources are posted (…so the old ones archived to the PDF continually). We hope you will be blessed by the wisdom of many!
