Creating the Future
We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the LORD, about his power and his mighty wonders.
Psalm 78:4 (NLT)

The Focus of Generational MinistriesNuNation Student MinistriesThe staff at NuNation is committed to providing a unique experience where Middle and High School students can feel free to worship God, learn what the Bible says about life, and connect with other students Our desire is to create safe, fun and contagious environments where students are reminded what the Christian life is all about. We want our students to find a place to belong, connect with each other, and grow in their faith.
Kidopolis Elementary MinistriesKidopolis exists to partner with parents in guiding children to realize their place in God’s story. We believe the family and the church combined are a stronger force than either one alone. Small group and large group environments are conducive for children 1st-5th grades to meet friends, talk about God, and participate in a time of meaningful worship. Our programming is driven by biblical values, creatively put together and fueled by a team of committed volunteers.
Abba Street Preschool MinistriesAbba Street exists to bring preschool families of City Church together. We are always on alert to improve programs and training of volunteers so that children feel welcome, experience creativity, and interact with others that see their potential. We will work passionately with parents and team members so that children experience a well-thought, creative, and excellent ministry. We desire that every preschool boy and girl knows that God made them, that God loves them, and that Jesus wants to be their friend forever.
Nursery MinistriesThe City Church Nursery ministry exists to provide safe and loving childcare along with biblical instruction to City Church's infants and toddlers so that parents may worship/study close by on the City Church campus. The nursery is where infants and toddlers will first experience Jesus' love in the context of church.
The New Future – Part Three
The New Program Schedule for Generational MinistriesOn February 1, 2009, as we launch our new worship schedule and our new small group format, there will also be new and exciting changes in the program schedule for Generational Ministries.The Sunday ScheduleCoinciding with the 9:15 am and the 11:00 am worship services, Elementary, Preschool, and Nursery programs will be offered. The programs will be essentially the same during both times. Currently, for a child to experience our full ministry requires a commitment of over three hours. In our new Sunday schedule, this has been reduced to just over seventy-five minutes. This is a plus for many parents, especially those with younger children. On Sunday evenings at 6:30, NuNation will continue to meet in the Student Center for worship and groups.
The Wednesday ScheduleA new addition to the Generational Ministries schedule will be the Wednesday night program from 6:30 – 8:00 pm. This exciting, new program will be a discipleship/learning environment for both Elementary and Preschool children. The Nursery will also be available to serve parents on Wednesday evenings. Middle and High School Students will be involved in the popular Dash discipleship program held in the Student Center. There will also be plenty of time for fun, conversations and activities. Because of these excellent children’s programs, many of our groups for adults will choose to meet on or near our campus on Wednesday evenings.
