- The Family Room: You are welcome to use our Family Room, equipped with toys, books, and a playmat. You can stay with your child while watching a live feed of the service on the TV.
- Parent Guest Transition: We recognize that some children just need a little extra time to adjust. In these situations - and where space permits - we allow parents to join as a Parent Guest for a limited number of weeks to help ease the transition.

A child dedication is an event that brings two influential elements in a child’s life together before God: parents of the child and the local church.
Parents are in a unique position to effectively disciple their children to know Jesus and embrace His Way throughout their life (Eph. 6:1-4). This is a great responsibility and privilege, but God does not intend for parents to do it alone. The local church is designed to function as a community of people who support each other spiritually and practically (Romans 12:3-8, Titus 2:2-5).
During a child dedication, parents bring their child before the church body and make a covenant with God to raise their child to know and love Jesus. The church community recognizes this commitment, prays for the child and the parents, and commits to supporting them in the future.

Parent Resources
Sunday School Take-Home Material
To help you continue the learning at home, we share monthly lesson summaries and simple weekday activity ideas. Every family's schedule is different - please feel free to dive in as much or as little as fits your capacity each week.
Parent Newsletter
We send out a monthly parent newsletter to keep you informed of what's up and coming in the life of Cascades Kids. This can include additional resources, workshops and events to partner with you in your child's faith journey.
Parenting Children in the Way of Jesus
When the Spirit of God comes and dwells in us, we begin to think, speak, and act differently. Ephesians 6:1-4 paints a beautiful picture of God’s new humanity, where families aren’t abolished; they are renewed by the Spirit of God and remodeled in the way of Jesus. This teaching highlights how adults can honour their parents despite their failures, as well as three essential components of discipling young Jesus followers.
Workshop: Building Resilience in Our Kids
Why are our kids increasingly anxious, more likely to be depressed, and so drawn to experiencing a curated world through their devices? In June 2025, we invited Brad Strelau, a pastor at Coquitlam Alliance Church, to explores the impact of smart phone usage on kids and teens, and offers proven practices that the Church is uniquely positioned to implement in order to see our children thrive beyond the screen.
Other Kids Events
We run a summer kids camp each year for kids aged 4-10. The camp intends to inspire children to follow Jesus as they discover God's kingdom.
We run 2-3 community events each year, welcoming our neighbours to experience the love and hospitality of God through fun and games.
