Chaffin Kids

Our Chaffin Kids program teaches children the good news of Jesus using the love of Christ and creativity!

How does it work?

  • We use a curriculum called "252 Basics" (read about it here) and all of our Chaffin Kids team members are given background checks for the safety of our kids.

  • Parents and Kids will get a tag with child's name and special pick up code

  • Then kids simply attend the first half of the gathering with their family

  • Before the sermon, children will then be dismissed with their teachers and head to their respective classrooms
    for Games and Activities to build on the lesson for the day

  • Children will then be dismissed and return to their parents during the final worship song, before the Gathering ends

  • Programs both for Grades K-5 and Middle School are offered

  • Babies and Preschool kids may be brought to the Nursery or Toddler classroom at the beginning of the gathering, if desired.

  • We also provide a full Online Kid's Lesson for families who might be watching remotely.

Our children aren’t just the church of tomorrow, they’re also the church of today.

What to Expect on Your First Sunday

We want your kids to love coming to church, and we want you to feel confident they're safe and cared for. Here's how a Sunday works for families at Chaffin Church in Holden, MA.

Arriving and Check-In

Our Sunday gathering runs from 10:00 to 11:15 am. Plan to arrive 5 to 10 minutes early. Park in the lot by the front doors, and you'll find kids check-in just inside the front door, where a greeter will help you get set up. If you need the accessible entrance, use the side door. Each child gets a name tag, and you'll receive a matching pick-up code so only you can pick up your child.

Safe and Caring Leaders

Every Chaffin Kids team member completes a background check before serving. Our leaders love Jesus, love kids, and are committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and fun environment where every child is known by name.

Learning About Jesus

Using the 252 Basics curriculum, kids hear the good news of Jesus through Bible stories, games, and activities designed for their age. Each lesson is built to help kids understand who God is, how much He loves them, and what it looks like to follow Jesus at home, at school, and with friends.

For Families Watching Online

If your family joins our gathering on YouTube, we provide a full online kids' lesson so your children can learn along with what's happening in person.
