Kids &Teens
PREPARE THE NEXT GENERATION!
ICF Kids Church is open to all kids from ages 0 to 10th grade.
Together, we want to get to know the power and love of Jesus, experience it for ourselves, and share it with others in practical ways. Our motto: Kids Church by kids, for kids!

Pre-registrations
Liebe Eltern,
uns liegt es am Herzen, eure Kinder bestmöglich zu begleiten. Um Sicherheit und Wohlfühlen zu gewährleisten, bitten wir euch, Kinder in den Gruppen Krümel, Minis und Wusel (d.h. Kinder bis einschließlich 1. Klasse) vorab anzumelden. Die Maxis (ab 2. Klasse) und Teens können ohne Voranmeldung kommen.
Die Voranmeldung ist ab Samstagvormittag auf Eventbrite möglich.
You can find regular updates, information, and tips on our Family Telegram channel.
You can find our live-streamed kids’ programs on our YouTube channel.
Krümel (10 a.m. & 12 p.m.)
Our youngest little ones, up to 12 months old—our “Krümel”—are cared for on Sundays by a wonderful team, together with the “Minis,” in a dedicated room. The room features a cozy corner for cuddling and playing, as well as a space for feeding and diaper changes. While we have fun together with age-appropriate toys, crawl around, and explore the world around us, parents can relax and enjoy the celebration. And if your little one still needs Mom or Dad’s care, you’re welcome to relax and take care of your little ones. A live feed is available in the lounge.
Minis (10 a.m. & 12 p.m.)
Even our little ones, ages 1–3, are encouraged to experience church in a holistic way. Thanks to our caring Mini-Team, the kids here are introduced to their first Bible stories, get to actively and creatively participate in them, and make music for God through singing, dancing, and playing instruments. Through play and fun with a wooden train set, a Pickler triangle, a slide, a pretend store, and an ice cream parlor, lifelong friendships are formed at a young age. There’s also plenty of space in our room for cuddling, resting, and looking at books. Once your kids have settled in, we want to give you the opportunity to enjoy the worship service in the Celebration Hall.
Wusel (10 a.m. & 12 p.m.)
Every Sunday, Molly the Cow, Stulle the Pig, and the rest of the hand puppet gang win over the hearts of 4- to 6-year-olds with their funny adventures. Afterward, the beloved stick puppets bring basic Bible stories to life for the children. And last but not least, there’s plenty of time for crafts, games, singing, building… and, of course, just having some fun.
Maxis (10 a.m. & 12 p.m.)
For the Maxis in grades 2 through 6, it’s all about a colorful mix of action, fun, and depth. During worship, we express our enthusiasm for God, dive into exciting sermons that the characters from KiKi-Allee bring even closer to the kids’ everyday lives, and experience deep friendships in our Kids Small Groups. And the best part: The kids aren’t just spectators here—they’re active participants. Whether in worship or on the theater team, handling the tech or working the kiosk—every child finds their place here!
Teens (12 p.m.)
Every Sunday, teens in grades 7 through 10 can look forward to a fun, energetic, yet meaningful program. Through engaging discussions and practical next steps, we encourage them to live out their faith on their own. In small groups, we connect with them on a personal level and help them build and deepen friendships with one another. We’d love for you to come just as you are and feel right at home with us!
Royal Rangers
As Royal Rangers, we love adventure! We meet weekly at our Post 592 on the Osdorf Estate. Singing and playing are just as much a part of our program as learning scouting skills. These include knot-tying, building fires, using tools, and first aid, as well as developing social skills and exploring the Christian faith.
The most important element of the Royal Rangers program is the team meeting. In small teams of six to ten participants of the same age and gender, the children are encouraged to develop according to their abilities.
Age: 8–13
Safety at ICF KIDS
SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY!
To ensure that parents can enjoy the Celebration with peace of mind, safety is our top priority.
All children are registered through our electronic check-in system; children through first grade must be picked up by their parents, or by the legal guardian in special family situations. In addition, parents of children up to and including first grade will be notified via the screen at the Celebration using an anonymous number assigned to each child at check-in, should their child need them.
ICF Kids is led by a professional team: Staff members are carefully selected and trained and are also required to provide a current criminal background check.
