Clarity loves kids and families

Clarity Kids has classes from birth to 5th grade on Sundays, and we partner with Osseo High School’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes to create fellowship and discipleship opportunities for middle and high school students.

In short, we love having families at our church! Parenting can be overwhelming; the idea of bringing kids to church can raise cold sweat on a parent’s brow. We want to reassure you that we want you and your kids at our Clarity gatherings.

Visiting Clarity Kids

Your first Sunday

Check in

A clearly marked check-in area opens before the service. The first time, we ask for emergency contact info and anything that helps our volunteers know your child.

Tags

Your child gets a name tag (ideally on the back) and you keep the matching security tag.

Or keep them with you

You’re welcome to use the classes, or to have your kids in the worship gathering with you. Plenty of our families do.

Check out

Show your part of the security tag to pick up your child; it’s required for check-out.

More for families

Beyond Sunday morning

MOPS

Our Moms of Preschoolers group meets on the last Friday of the month, 9:30 to noon, somewhere different each time: a splash pad, a library, a nature center, a park or a member’s home.

Parent/Child Dedication

We don’t practice infant baptism, but we celebrate each new family member as a community and invite parents on stage to commit to raising their child to know and love Jesus.

Bible resources for parents

Books, Bibles, podcasts, music and print resources to help you disciple your kids as they grow (Proverbs 22:6).

FAQs

What ages does Clarity Kids serve?

On Sunday mornings we have classes from birth through 5th grade: Nursery & Preschool for birth to 4 years, and Elementary for 5 years through 5th grade. Middle and high school students connect through FCA and Bibles & Breakfast at Osseo High School.

How do you keep kids safe?

Every volunteer passes a background check and follows the same policies every Sunday: security tags to enter the kids’ area and to check out, allergy alerts on name tags, emergency contact info from your first check-in, set bathroom procedures, a female-only diaper-changing policy, and no child is ever left alone with an adult.

How does check-in work on my first Sunday?

A clearly marked check-in area opens at 9:45. The first time, we ask for emergency contact info and anything that helps our volunteers care for your child. Your child gets a name tag and you keep the matching security tag, which you’ll show to pick them up.

Can my kids stay with me in the service?

Yes. You’re welcome to use the classes or keep your kids with you in the worship gathering; plenty of our families do. Kids in the Elementary class also join the worship portion of the main gathering.

Do you baptize babies?

No. Clarity doesn’t practice infant baptism. Instead we celebrate each new family member with a Parent/Child Dedication: parents bring their little one on stage and commit to raising their child to know and love Jesus, and the church promises to support them.

Is there a group for moms of young kids?

Yes. MOPS (Moms of Preschoolers) meets on the last Friday of the month from 9:30 to noon, somewhere different each time: a splash pad, a library, a nature center, a park or a member’s home.

What is there for middle and high school students?

Students in grades 6–12 are welcome at FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) at Osseo High School on the 1st and 3rd Sundays, 7–8:30pm, and at Bibles & Breakfast on Wednesday mornings. The Student Ministry page has the details.
