Kids & Youth

We provide Nursery Care for children from age 6 weeks – 3 years at both campuses.

Roseville Campus Sunday Nursery Hours: 8:45am to 10:10am

St. Anthony Park Campus Sunday Nursery Hours: 10:20am to 11:45am

FaithWalk is our version of Sunday School for pre-K to 5th grade kids.
Kids begin worship with their families and are dismissed to FaithWalk about 10-15 minutes into the service.  About once a month, kids rejoin worship to receive Holy Communion with the whole congregation.
Contact Pastor Jen for more details.
We love having kids participate as worship leaders - reading Scripture, serving Communion, ushering, greeting, singing, handbells and more - anytime of the year. 

Twice a month, once at each church campus, students can participate in Sunday Skits. We'll practice skits related to scripture, read the Bible stories they are based on and prepare them to be performed later in the school year at the two church campuses.
Students are also encouraged to participate in Sunday morning worship through handbells, ushering, coffee bar, greeting, scripture reading and special music. 

Milestones are the significant cultural and developmental markers that we experience throughout our lives.
They are our firsts. There are ordinary firsts of steps and teeth, walking and talking. There are also firsts of our faith life: baptism, beginning Sunday School, receiving a Bible, and more. Centennial’s Milestone Ministry helps to make a connection between our everyday lives and our faith life.

Build relationships, serve others, learn about God!
Centennial Youth meet weekly (most nights of the school year) in two different groups: middle school and high school. The format of the night varies, and activities include: guest speakers, videos, reading Scripture, spiritual practices, bonfires, service nights, and more!
Time: 6:30-8:00pm Location: Roseville Campus

Road trips + serving others + awesomeness + God sightings = Centennial Youth summer mission trips!
These week-long trips are often transformative for our high school and middle school students. Taking time away from normal life, they have space to connect more deeply with their faith, see God at work in different social contexts then their own, and make new friends!
High School Mission Trip – Kentucky; The Venue is Good Neighbors, Inc. Staffordsville, KY
Students grades 6-12 are welcome to join us on a local mission trip in June serving the needs of our community, sleeping at our two church campuses and being God’s hands and feet for our neighbors next door!

Faith is a life long, ever-changing journey.
Our 8th grade students spend a year thinking intentionally about their faith journey. That process may culminate in them publicly professing their faith at our fall Confirmation Sunday. That process may culminate in them needing more time and space to figure out where they are at. Both of those options, and everything in between, is a-ok with us at Centennial. Jesus invites us into an authentic faith, and we all figure out that journey on their own time.
