Children are very important in the life of our church. College Hill offers childcare and Christian education opportunities for children of all ages.
Children of all ages are always welcome in our Worship Service ~ information about other options for young children during all or part of the Worship Service is provided below.

Children begin their time in Worship Service through the Time with the Children. Then, the children proceed to Worship Connection on the 2nd Floor, where the early elementary children explore God’s loving spirit through stories, crafts, games and group interaction. Children also practice reciting the Lord’s Prayer and experience prayer as a group.

Multigenerational Vacation Church School
June 1 – 8, 2025
“JUST LIKE ME: digging in and growing deep”
JUST LIKE ME is Vacation Church School (VCS) curriculum that centers the deep and active faith lives of children and the real-world context our kids live in. Grounded in theologies of inclusion, this unique Vacation Bible School uses both First and Second Testament Bible Characters to help students build vital social and spiritual skills that support active faith development. This intersectional curriculum is designed to help kids celebrate their own identities as beloved creation of God—just as they are. Over the course of the week, campers will be introduced to a cast of neighborhood Gardeners who will help them explore Biblical stories of people who were able to change things for the better. Students will practice sharing what they have, finding their community, and using their voice for others. This multigenerational experience is for people of all ages. Adults will learn about non-profit community partners that are making a real difference in our community.
