Families & Children

A Church Family for Your Family

At Knox we believe each child is special, important, and valuable. We strive to have fun and vibrant programs that instil in kids the fundamental truths of Christianity and where they get to know Jesus up close and personal. We also believe that loving kids and families is the most important part of our ministry.

Reach out to Pastor Frances to connect more deeply our ministry, frances@knoxtoronto.org. Parents and caregivers of registered kids will receive occasional emails with information and updates.

Sunday Morning Kids’ Programming

Kids and families join in worship with “Big Church” at 11am in the sanctuary. After our opening worship songs and prayers, we have a short Kids' Moment in the sanctuary, and then kids are invited to gather near the stage to head up to the 2nd floor with our leaders (we meet in a room called Goforth Hall). If it’s your first time with us, please come up with your child to meet Frances and our leaders, and see what we’re up to!


TINY TOTS (1-4yrs)

Toddlers and pre-schoolers are invited to Tiny Tots on the 2nd flr, right as you exit the elevator in the daycare space. Tiny tots is open before the service so you can choose to drop your young ones off before worship, or join in the first bit of worship and walk up with them after the Kids’ moment. In our time together, we’ll do things like sing a few bible songs, read a bible story, partake in a related activity and have some free play time to connect.


HELPFUL FAMILY INFO

  • While in the sanctuary for worship, we have a few things for kids: Near the front at the sides (transepts), we have a selection of kids books, a few quiet activities, and worship ribbons kids can dance with through our worship. Please help yourself while you’re in the sanctuary!

  • Snacks! Nut-free snacks are provided in Tiny Tots and Kids’ church. Nut-free snacks are welcome in the sanctuary to help your young ones along.

  • Nursing: Women are welcome to nurse in the sanctuary. For less distracting spaces, the Nursery and Winchester Room are open (Nursery and Winchester Room are through the doors at the front of the sanctuary). The Goforth Hall (2nd flr), where Kids’ Church happens also has couches and chairs you’re welcome to use.

  • Diaper changing: There is a change table in the nursery washroom (1st flr, beside the Winchester Room). Just wipe down the tabletop with sanitizing wipes after use.

  • Toilets: Main floor washrooms, basement washrooms (accessible through the Narthex), and the toilet in the Nursery are open for use.

Knox Camps

Knox Camps is all about making an impact in kids’ lives. We’ve had a vibrant, quality Christian summer camp running for the past 40 years and this ministry has been a great opportunity for kids to develop deep friendships, learn about our great God in fun and interactive ways, and grow in leadership.

Through July and August, we have day programming for kids 4-14. Read the latest information at knoxcamps.ca.
