Philosophy of Children’s Ministry
At CCC, our Children’s Ministry is a partnership between the church and the families of our congregation. Our mission is to equip our covenant children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, with the hope that the Holy Spirit will use our efforts to instill in the next generation a deep, abiding love for God. We desire our children to know Him better and to make Him known to others.
Our ministry is led by Director Bonnie Lane, Emilie Schelling, and a dedicated team of interns and volunteers. Each member of our staff and volunteer team is thoroughly trained, background checked and committed to serving God by discipling the next generation.
We pray that through our ministry, God would help our children experience His love for them and grow in their love for both God and their neighbors.
Below, you’ll find an overview of our main events. If you have any questions about our Children’s Ministry, please feel free to contact Bonnie Lane at bonnie@christcommunitycobb.org.

- Curriculum: Jesus Storybook Bible - This curriculum guides children through a variety of Bible stories, emphasizing that at the heart of each story is Jesus and the grand narrative of God's salvation through Him.
