Finding a church that works for your whole family is one of those things that sounds simple until you're actually trying to do it. The kids have to enjoy it enough to not complain the whole way home. The teenagers have to find it relevant enough to actually engage. And you need to get something meaningful out of the hour too, not just spend it anxious about whether everyone else is okay.
At CedarCreek, we've put serious thought into making that experience work for every person in your family, at every age. Here's what that actually looks like.
For Parents: What Your Sunday Morning Looks Like
When you arrive at any of our six Northwest Ohio campuses, our DreamTeam volunteers will help your family find your way around and get kids checked in quickly. If you pre-register online before your first visit, check-in is even faster — your family's information is already in the system and you can be in the door and settled in minutes.
From there, you head to the adult service while your kids are taken care of. Services run about an hour and include live worship music, free coffee, and Bible-based teaching that connects to the actual challenges of parenting, marriage, purpose, and everyday life. The kind of content that's useful on a Wednesday, not just on Sunday.
For parents who can't always make it in person, every service streams live and on demand at watch.cedarcreek.tv — a real option for the weekends when sickness, travel, or exhaustion wins.
CedarCreek Kids: Newborns Through 4th Grade
CedarCreek Kids, our kids ministry, runs every weekend at all six campuses during every service time. Children from newborns through 4th grade are welcomed into CedarVille, our dedicated kids space, for age-appropriate lessons, worship, games, and small group conversations led by trained, background-checked volunteers.
Safety is something we take seriously. Every room is staffed with at least two volunteers who have gone through a thorough onboarding process including an interview, background check, and role-specific training. You drop your kids off knowing they're in good hands — and the kids tend to enjoy it enough that they actually ask to come back.
Each age group gets something specifically designed for them. Babies and toddlers have dedicated care with engaging, sensory-appropriate activities. Elementary kids get interactive lessons, games, and small groups built around helping them learn about God and themselves in ways that actually make sense to a seven-year-old.
Kids Camp runs every summer for current Kindergarten through 4th graders — a four-night experience packed with large group sessions, activities, small group conversations, and a Family Night at the end of the week. Scholarship support is available for families who need it.

CedarCreek Students: 5th Through 12th Grade
Our Student Ministry is built around that reality, not watered-down adult content, but programming specifically designed for where students actually are developmentally, relationally, and spiritually.
Middle schoolers in 5th through 8th grade have their own dedicated space during every weekend service at every campus. It's an environment built around their specific questions and challenges, identity, friendships, faith, what it actually means to be a good person in a complicated world.
High schoolers in 9th through 12th grade gather Wednesday nights from 7 to 8:30p at every campus for Midweek. These gatherings feature smaller groups broken down by grade and gender, giving students a space to be honest, build real friendships, and grow in faith without performing for anyone.
Every summer brings two student camps: Fusion Camp for current 5th through 8th graders and High School Camp for current 9th through 12th graders. Full weeks of engaging teaching, worship, friendships, and formative experiences. Last year, over 100 students received scholarship assistance to make camp possible — we don't want cost to be the reason a student misses out.
Growing Together as a Family
One of the things families tell us they love most about CedarCreek is that everyone gets something out of the same trip. While your kids are in CedarCreek Kids and your teenagers are in Student Ministry, you're growing too — right there in the same building. No splitting up the morning, no logistical gymnastics. Just one trip, and the whole family leaves with something meaningful.
Beyond Sunday mornings, our groups include options for parents at every stage — from couples navigating the early years of marriage and parenting to empty nesters figuring out what's next. And serving together as a family through Second Saturday Serves or Serve Day on July 25th is one of the most powerful ways we know to build shared values and shared memories at the same time.
Service times at all six campuses:
Perrysburg, West Toledo & Whitehouse: Saturdays at 5p, Sundays at 8:30a, 10a & 11:30a
