Child Care
We offer Childcare for infants – 2 years old during the Sunday 10am service and for infants – 5th grade during the Sunday 5:30pm service.
Sunday School Classes
Each Sunday, we offer Sunday School for children ages 2 years - High School during the 10am worship service. The 2–3 year olds go directly to the classroom. The 4 year olds – 12th graders join their parents for the beginning part of the service and will be dismissed after the Children’s message for Sunday School. Parents pick their children up from their Sunday School classrooms after church.
Youth Groups
The youth groups are an important part of the life of First Christian Church of North Hollywood. Our goal is to provide a place for young people to come and feel accepted for who they are as children of God. In addition to regular meetings, the Youth attend camps together and serve the community through various mission activities. They also participate in the life of the greater church, serving as deacons and even leading us in worship on Youth Sundays. They raise funds for outreach activities and host social events as well.
The group is open to all middle-school aged youth in grades 6th - 8th. They meet from 5:30-7:30pm on Sunday evenings in the Annex for fun and fellowship. The emphasis is on laying groundwork of faith and friendship that our young people can build on in the years ahead.

This is a bi-weekly parent’s night out for children who are potty trained – 5th grade (older kids are welcome to come help). Kids in diapers are welcome to attend with their parents.
