Children & Youth

You belong here!

Colorful balloon with words like love, joy, hope, patience, peace, goodness, self-control, faithfulness, and kindness. Text reads "Get carried away with being like Jesus!" Round Hill Community Church Kids.

Maybe your family's been coming to Round Hill for decades, or maybe this is your very first Sunday in any church, and either way there's a spot for your kids here. We're an open, inclusive community where every kid is known by name, every family is embraced, and every question is welcome (yes, even the big ones that come up on the car ride home).

Kids hear the big stories of the Bible and discover what they say about God, God's love for them, and the world God made, but knowing the stories is just the start, because we want kids to live them, moving from understanding to compassion for all people.

And since every kid learns differently, we mix it up with pictures, music, movement, and hands-on fun, so on any given Sunday you might catch us writing poems and prayers, playing games, acting out a Bible story, or working with puppets (wiggles totally welcome).

Church School meets every Sunday at 10 am during worship, and it's free! Questions? Reach out to our Director of Children & Middle School Youth, Leticia Soltero.
