UCkids

Welcome to UCkids! At Union Center, we believe that every child, every parent, every family has a story and we consider it an honor to be a part of that story. It is our goal to help every child feel safe and loved and every parent/caregiver to feel seen and empowered as they both hear and experience the love of God through us. 


Our volunteers are background-checked and participate in ongoing training so we can care for kids of all abilities in an inclusive and trauma-informed environment that is flexible and fun. 

UCkids Classrooms

UCkids is an active place on Sunday mornings for kids from birth to 5th grade. As you arrive, follow the signs in our lobby to where volunteers at the UCkids desk will be happy to help you check-in your child and find their classroom. While in our classrooms, your child will have the opportunity to play and build friendships, worship and engage with a Bible story and participate in multi-sensory activities that surround a monthly theme. The Bible truths we teach build in a fun and developmental way toward an everyday faith that transforms how your child loves God, loves others and loves life.

  • Welcome to our Toddler/Preschool room!  We want your little ones to know that God made them, God loves them, and Jesus wants to be their friend forever. Whether it’s free play, snack time, Bible story video or a simple craft, every activity points to these truths. Our time in the Toddler/Preschool class is mostly unstructured with simple activities offered to all who want to join in. We look forward to working with you to ensure your child has an enjoyable experience with us as they learn about God’s love!

  • Welcome to the Older Elementary room! We want to come alongside you to help guide your kids to learn to make the wise choice, trust God no matter what and treat others the way they want to be treated. We begin our time with free play and a group activity. Then, we head across the hall to our “movie room” for worship, a Bible story video, a snack and prayer time. Back in the classroom, we have group activities that review the story and memory verse and help your child understand how it all fits in with everyday life. We look forward to getting to know your child and being a part of his/her journey of faith!

  • Welcome to the Buddy Project (6th – 8th grade, optional for 5th graders)! We want to come alongside you to help your tweens know God, connect with Him and let Him shape us in ways that love and serve others. Our tweens begin with worship in the sanctuary for the first set of praise songs. During announcements, we meet in the foyer and follow a rotation of Serve & Learn and Large Group. Serving options include classroom helpers, puppeteers, security and sometimes community service. In Large Group, we learn together how to live out our UCCC mission of Engaging with God, Journeying Together and Spreading Hope in ways that are hands-on and discussion-based. We look forward to getting to know your tween and being a part of his/her journey of faith!
