Vision For Kids 4 Christ
We praise God for the blessing of children and are committed to partnering with parents to nurture the faith of the next generation. We value & prioritize discipleship of kids through relationship building, biblically-based teaching and engaging activities that glorify God and build community.
Our prayer is for our kids to know the love of Jesus Christ more deeply every time we come together. We pray that they would open their hearts to receive the gospel and proclaim it with boldness to friends, neighbors, and the nations.

K4C Classes On Sunday Mornings
Our nursery program exists to serve the church by providing a safe, God-exalting space for infants up to 3 years old during church services. Our amazing nursery volunteers have a heart to love on our little ones through prayer, worship, and a short Bible lesson.
For our Pre-K & Kindergarteners (starting with potty-trained 3 year olds thru kindergarten), we chronologically walk through the Bible each week with age-appropriate Old & New Testament teachings, worship and activities organized around monthly themes using GROW curriculum. Our prayer is for each child to grasp their need for Jesus and respond to God’s invitation to have a relationship with Him.
Elementary kids’ (grades 1-5) monthly themes and Biblical stories match those of Pre-k/K (using GROW curriculum) with age-appropriate teaching, discussions, and activities. We pray for God to draw these children closer to himself, His saving grace, and for daily application and obedience of scripture in their lives.

Katie Castillo, K4C Director

Katie Castillo was born in Duluth, MN and spent most of her years growing up in a suburb outside of Pittsburgh, PA. She graduated with a degree in Sociology/Anthropology and a concentration in Management Studies from St. Olaf College. After college, she married her husband, Spencer, moved to the Twin Cities, and has been working ever since at The Salvation Army as a professional relationship builder...aka a fundraiser! Katie grew up in a Christian home with parents who love the Lord and raised her to know Him. Katie surrendered her life fully to the Lord during her years at St Olaf and has been involved in kids ministry as long as she could remember, most recently at her home church in Northfield during college years. She is excited to pour into the hearts of NCNC’s incredible children, K4C volunteers, and parents, encouraging each in their personal walk with the Lord as He leads us to know and glorify His love more deeply and share it with all peoples.
