Kids & Youth

We provide Nursery Care for children from age 6 weeks – 3 years at both campuses.

St. Anthony Park Campus Sunday Nursery Hours: 10:20am to 11:45am

FaithWalk is our version of Sunday School for pre-K to 5th grade kids.
Kids begin worship with their families and are dismissed to FaithWalk about 10-15 minutes into the service.  About once a month, kids rejoin worship to receive Holy Communion with the whole congregation.
Contact Rev. Lauren Rheingans for more details.
We love having kids participate as worship leaders - reading Scripture, serving Communion, ushering, greeting, singing, handbells and more - anytime of the year. 

Twice a month, once at each church campus, students can participate in Sunday Skits. We'll practice skits related to scripture, read the Bible stories they are based on and prepare them to be performed later in the school year at the two church campuses.
Students are also encouraged to participate in Sunday morning worship through handbells, ushering, coffee bar, greeting, scripture reading and special music. 

Time: 9:30am-10:30am  When: The second Saturday of the month
Join us for a fun and engaging Story Time designed for families with children ages birth to PreK every second Saturday of the month! Enjoy interactive stories, songs, and activities that spark imagination and faith in a welcoming atmosphere.

Build relationships, serve others, learn about God!
Centennial Youth meet weekly (most nights of the school year) in two different groups: middle school and high school. The format of the night varies, and activities include: guest speakers, videos, reading Scripture, spiritual practices, bonfires, service nights, and more!
Time: 6:30-8:00pm Location: Roseville Campus

Road trips + serving others + awesomeness + God sightings = Centennial Youth summer mission trips!
These week-long trips are often transformative for our high school and middle school students. Taking time away from normal life, they have space to connect more deeply with their faith, see God at work in different social contexts then their own, and make new friends!

This year, we're trying a new way of offering Confirmation. In the past, Confirmation has traditionally been a stand-alone class for 8th graders, separate from regular youth group. While meaningful, it also added another commitment to already busy schedules.

Instead, we will be weaving Confirmation themes directly into our regular Wednesday night Youth Group lessons. This way, all youth will learn and grow together in their faith, with opportunities to explore core beliefs, spiritual practices, and what it means to follow Christ.

In the Spring, youth will be invited to discern whether they feel ready to make a profession of faith - Confirming their faith in Christ - and join Centennial as a professing member. Those who are ready will be invited to attend a Confirmation retreat. Details about the date and location of the retreat will be shared yet this fall.

With this approach, we hope youth will see faith not as a one-time decision but as a life-long journey. Some may be ready to confirm their faith this year; others may need more time. Either way, every youth will continue to be nurtured, challenged, and supported as they grow in faith.

Building tomorrow's leaders!
Active for almost 70 years, Cub Scout Pack 22 meets monthly at our St. Anthony Park Campus.  In addition to monthly Pack meetings, each Den (organized by school grade level) meets two or more times per month for age appropriate games, skill development, outings and more.  Over the past year Cub Scouts in Pack 22 have participated in some of the following activities: Rain Gutter Regattas, Pinewood Derby, a weekend long summer camp experience, Polar Cubs/Winter Camp, rocket shoots, St. Anthony Park neighborhood's 4th of July parade, service projects (leaf raking, Toys-for-Tots, food drives) and more! We are an active Pack of about 30 boys and girls in grades K-5.
