The Adventure
Big Faith for Little Hearts! ❤️
At Christ Little Rock, we believe children are an important part of our church family, and we want every child to grow in their faith, experience God's love, and discover the joy of following Jesus!
We love worshiping together as families! During our worship services, children are invited to participate alongside their families before heading off to The Adventure, our special children's worship experience designed for preschool through 5th grade.
During the sermon, children are escorted by our ministry leaders to The Adventure, where they experience worship, prayer, and engaging Bible lessons in a fun, welcoming, and age-appropriate environment. Through interactive storytelling, activities, and meaningful conversations, kids explore the same biblical message being shared in worship, presented in a way they can understand and apply to their everyday lives.
Our goal is to help children build a strong foundation of faith, grow in their relationship with Jesus, and discover that they are loved, valued, and an important part of God's family.
At The Adventure, we're not just teaching Bible stories — we're helping kids discover how God's Word connects to their lives as they grow in faith, friendship, and love for Jesus!
We can't wait to welcome your child to The Adventure!
Quest: 4th & 5th Grade Youth Group
4th & 5th Grade
Big Adventures, Growing Faith, Lasting Friendships!
Quest is a special youth ministry experience designed just for 4th and 5th graders at Christ Little Rock! Meeting throughout the school year, Quest gives students a place to belong, build meaningful friendships, have fun, and take the next steps in their faith journey.
Through interactive Bible studies, exciting games, team-building challenges, small group discussions, and hands-on activities, students are encouraged to ask questions, explore God's Word, and discover how their faith connects to everyday life.
At Quest, we believe growing in faith should be an adventure! Our goal is to create a welcoming, Christ-centered environment where students feel valued, encouraged, and excited to learn more about Jesus while building friendships that will last beyond elementary school.
As students prepare for middle school and NextGen Youth Ministry, Quest helps bridge the gap between children's ministry and youth ministry, equipping them with a strong foundation of faith, a sense of belonging, and the confidence to continue growing in their relationship with Christ.
Come explore, connect, and grow with us at Quest — where faith and friendship are an adventure!
First Communion Program – 5th Grade
Our First Communion program is an important step in your child’s faith journey, preparing them to receive Communion for the first time and begin their confirmation process.
(5th Grade and Up)
Benchmark 1: My First Catechism Workbook
The journey begins with a meeting between the pastor, the child, and their parents typically in the summer/fall before 5th grade. During this meeting:
The child receives My First Catechism Workbook.
The workbook is completed at home with guidance and support from parents.
The pastor and youth ministry team provide regular check-ins and encouragement.
Eligibility for First Communion Class:
To join the First Communion class during Lent, My First Catechism must be completed by the first Wednesday of the class.
Students who haven’t finished by then may continue at their own pace, but the final deadline is the first Wednesday after Ash Wednesday.
Extensions may be granted under special circumstances, but the workbook must be fully completed to participate in the First Communion class.
First Communion Class
Once the workbook is completed, students attend a four-week First Communion class led by the pastor, using This Is the Feast (CPH).
Classes are held weekly for 4 weeks.
Attendance takes priority over extracurricular activities.
If the student, their parents, and the pastor agree the child is ready, they will celebrate First Communion on Maundy Thursday, marking their official start in the confirmation process.
Prerequisite: Completion of My First Catechism Workbook
