City Kids

Our kids are a part of the Big Story of God.

City Kids' vision is
for all the kids in Sioux Falls
TO KNOW
the love and presence
OF JESUS

City Church invites children to develop their own ongoing and authentic relationship with Jesus and we value each child individually as full spiritual beings. We especially want to lead children into experiencing God through the narrative of Scripture, worship, and community in order to discover their place in God’s grand story.

CURRICULUM

Kindergarten thru 5th Grade Curriculum:

Life With God for Children by Lacy Finn Borgo

We’ve chosen this curriculum because of its emphasis on building a relationship with God while giving children the tools and opportunities to explore the scriptures themselves. We want to disciple and empower our children to grow in knowledge and relationship with God simultaneously and this curriculum allows us to do so.

As a church, we will be reading the Gospel of Matthew together. Leading a Gospel-Centered life is one of the values of City Church. Through this reading, we will be able to maintain a consistent conversation of how we are able to encounter the person and presence of Jesus. We invite you to join us. This week, we will be reading Matthew 1 & 2. .

During this holiday season, City Church is taking time to rest, reset, and celebrate. We will not be meeting as a church until January 5th. That Sunday, we will be in our new space - the Sioux Falls Seminary - coming together to tour, plan, pray, and worship in the new space.

This past Sunday we learned about the practice and motivation for genuine hospitality in an age of hostility. Additionally, we prayed over our commissioned elders and deacons (and apprentice elders) - Jeff, Dean, Mike, Mark, and Katie. ⠀
We believe in and are grateful for this beautiful picture of shared leadership, that our community is led and shepherded by many, not just one or two ⠀
⠀
This next Sunday we will gather to worship Jesus, pray for one another and our city, and share some important vision for 2020!

CONTACT

Hi, My name is Geneva Olson, wife to Mark and mother to Kera, Macie, Linnea, and Elise. I am originally from California and moved to Sioux Falls in July 2007. I have a Political Science degree from University of Nevada, Las Vegas and I enjoy reading, drawing, volleyball, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. I thoroughly enjoy working with kids and have spent time working as a Direct Support Professional in the residence halls at LifeScape, in addition to many years volunteering in children’s ministry roles.

I am passionate about creating an environment where our children and volunteers are valued, empowered, and encouraged every week. My dream for City Kids is that every child would encounter Jesus, understand the gospel’s transformative power, develop a steadfast faith and knowledge of the Word, and be fully integrated into the body of Christ. I am thrilled to work alongside the rest of the City Church congregation in assisting our kids in living out the gospel and being a light in Sioux Falls and the world.
