Children and Youth
One part of our mission is to place special emphasis on the needs of children and youth, recognizing that they are the church TODAY and in the future. Currently, we have some 80 children and youth as a part of our church. They light up our lives and we are committed to providing ministries that engage and inspire them. Check out the opportunities below!

Sunday School Sunday School will be offered each Sunday at 9:00am. Classes: Nursery, Pre-school, Grades 1-3, Grades 4-6, Grades 7-12, Adult. Worship & Wonder Children's Church Each Sunday after the Kid’s Circle in worship, children ages 3 through 3rd grade, are invited to participate in Children's Church. Ages 3 thru Kindergarten will use the Worship & Wonder curriculum which is a Montessory influenced program where children have opportunity to hear Bible stories and form responses and creatve expressions to those stories out of their own life experience. Grade 1-3 will enjoy a new currriculum to South Summit called "Show Me," weekly devotions that include science tricks and illusions, each illustrating an important message from the Bible. Youth Choir (Grades 6-12) Calling all youth from 6th through 12th grade! The Messengers, our youth choir, rehearse weekly on Wednesdays from 6:45pm to 7:30pm from September thru May and sing in at least one worship service each month. Junior Youth Fellowship (JYF – Grades 3-5) JYF is a place for 3rd-5th graders to gather once a month for fun, fellowship, Christian growth, and service. Games, devotions, field trips, mission events, and group building activities help this active age group make good friends and grow in Christian community. Y-Life! (Grades 6-8) Y-Life is a place to have great fun and make great friends. Attentive to the needs of middle school youth, Y-Life is interactive, relational, high-energy, and inclusive. Through group building, Bible study, devotions, worship, fun excursions, and service events, the youth of Y-Life receive encouragement to grow in faith and establish Christian friendships that they can carry with them through high school and beyond. Y-Life meets weekly on Wednesdays from 7:30-8:30 pm at the church. CYF (Grades 9-12) CYF builds on and extends the Y-Life experience. Group building, Bible study, devotions, worship, fun excursions, and mission projects occur in the context of recognizing that high school youth are beginning and completing a wonderful leg in life’s journey. The pressures and challenges for high school youth today are many and CYF empowers youth to draw deeply from their faith as they face current and future challenges. CYF meets weekly on Sundays immediately following worship. Summer Church Camp At beautiful Tall Oaks Camp and Conference Center, just 45 minutes from Lee’s Summit outside Desoto, KS, children and youth ages 5-18, have the opportunity to attend summer church camp.
