Welcome!

Our goal is to help our children become true disciples of Jesus Christ by building relationships with them, being examples for them and teaching them God’s Word. While many things in our world are changing, some things are staying the same, like our ability to connect and meet with Jesus.

Early Childhood

Hello, my name is MacKenzie Granger and I am the Early Childhood Director here at CTK Bellingham! I am so excited that you are here and I can’t wait to show you what we have in store for your child in the nursery and in Adventureland. Our staff and volunteers are excited to offer your child a safe, inviting place where they get to engage with children their age and learn about the love of Jesus.

NURSERY | 0–23 MONTHS

We consider it a privilege to play an important role in the development of your little one’s faith. Our team sees the nursery as an important ministry. We’re very careful and intentional in creating a safe environment where the love of Jesus is the focus.

We want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time with us. Bringing the following items will ensure that all your child’s needs are being met while in our care: a diaper, bottle (pre-made), pacifier and any other security or comfort item. To make sure you get home with everything you brought, please label all items and place them in a compact bag with your child’s name on it.

Contact MacKenzie Granger, Early Childhood Director

ADVENTURELAND | 2 YEARS–KINDERGARTEN

Your preschooler will love visiting Adventureland. For an hour every weekend, they’ll experience large-group worship and age-specific small group time.

Through games, music, and exciting Bible lessons, we provide spiritual nourishment that fits this active, curious stage in your child’s life. Adventureland equips kids to develop a real relationship with God and make wonderful friends.

Before your child gets to Adventureland, please make sure to check in at the Children’s Check-in station and make a stop at the preschool-sized restroom in the hallway near our classrooms.

Welcome to Base Camp!

K-5th Grade

Home to CTK Kids elementary ministries, Base Camp is a large campground-themed space complete with a Ranger Station where kids gather for a time of worship through music, prayer, teaching, and an exciting story from the Bible.

Children hear the Gospel – the Good News, that Jesus is God’s rescue plan! They discover valuable life lessons from the Bible, and how to put into practice what God is showing them. Base Camp also has three grade-specific campsites: Happy Campers, Quest and The Lookout.

Any questions, contact Duane Weaver.

HAPPY CAMPERS | K & 1ST GRADE

Kids need a place where they can just be themselves — and that’s where Happy Campers comes in! During every weekend service, Kindergarteners and 1st graders have a blast, hanging out with their leaders and friends, playing games, coloring, and talking about the day’s Bible story.

Happy Campers is a place where your child can meet Jesus.

QUEST | 2ND & 3RD GRADE

Kids love an adventure — and that’s what Quest is all about. During every weekend service, 2nd & 3rd graders will have a blast, hanging out with their
leaders and friends, playing games, and exploring what it means to follow Jesus on the greatest adventure of all!

Quest is a place where your child can meet Jesus.

THE LOOKOUT | 4TH & 5TH GRADE

There’s a huge difference between a first grader and a fifth grader, so we offer something just for kids in 4th and 5th grades during every weekend service. The Lookout is a fun place for kids to learn to apply God’s truths and love others.

Worship happens in a large group setting, and then kids enjoy age-specific group games, music, and teaching. Children discover valuable life lessons from Bible characters — and how to put into practice what God is showing them. The Lookout is a place where your child can meet Jesus.

The Art of Intentional Fun & Serving Together
Stay tuned to our CTK families web page & social media feeds for some exciting videos and podcasts centered around the lives of several of our CTK Bellingham families. They will share about the impact that investing in fun and serving together has had on their families. Plus offer practical tips on how, what, and where you can start or continue these fun and purposeful times with your family.

Moms in Prayer

Moms, come and experience the power of prayer and the way that praying together with other moms brings peace and hope. Praying God's Word over our children replaces any fear or anxiety we may experience for our children or their future as we continue trusting them to Him. Moms in Prayer gathers moms together weekly to pray specifically and spiritually for our children, our teachers, and our schools.

Whether you've been praying for your kids for years, or you are just getting started, this group is a safe and supportive place to connect with other moms to pray for the next generation.

Join us on Wednesday mornings from 9:00-10:00am at CTK Bellingham, upstairs in the Prayer Room (214). 

Stroller Striders

Looking to get outdoors this summer with your little ones? Hoping to connect with a community of moms? Join other moms and kids for Stroller Striders! Every other Thursday in June and July we’ll meet at Cordata Park to walk, talk, and let the kids play.

We know what it’s like to be stuck inside with your toddler all day, so come connect with other moms who can talk about more than Paw-Patrol and fruit snacks.

No need to sign up–just show up. Meet us at the covered structure at the park.

Contact MacKenzie for more information (360-733-1337)

CTK Kids, Teens, & Families Blueberry Picking!

Blueberries have their own schedule...so be on the lookout for dates later this summer.

Child Dedication

1 Class followed by a Dedication Ceremony offered 2-3 Times a Year. 

When it comes to raising our kids, the list of responsibilities is long. But nothing we do is more important than pointing them toward Jesus. Child dedication at CTK is about helping you demonstrate your desire and commitment to do just that. Join other families with young children for a class session that will prepare you to dedicate your child to God — and yourself to godly parenting.

The class culminates with a dedication ceremony; invite your friends and family to celebrate with you and pledge their support in your commitment to your child. For more information, please complete a child dedication interest form.

Wondering how to respond to your kids big feelings or emotional responses? Check out this step-by step guide to Emotion Coaching by clicking here, a researched based approach including 5 simple steps that help us give our kids the skills they need to regulate their emotions.

Leading your Child to Christ

Pointing our kids towards Jesus is the most important job we have as parents. Leading our kids toward Christ is an on-going process. But when our kids are ready to put their faith and trust in Jesus, this guide can help us lead them towards understanding and a decision.
