FAMILY MINISTRY
At Wyckoff Reformed Church, we embrace, encourage, and equip families as we partner in discipleship. Our prayer is to see your family following Christ together and to feel loved by our community!
Please reach out to Sara Christie, sarac@wyckoffreformed.org, for more information!
Come check us out on a Sunday:
Nursery Care - Birth-3. These littles may be dropped off before the service in our education building!
Kids - Ages 4-3rd grade.
Students - 4th-7th grade.
Both the Kids and Students groups will start in the sanctuary worship service and be dismissed for their classes after the family moment.
Family Sundays - Every 1st Sunday of the month is family Sunday where children in 3rd grade and older will remain in the ‘big church’ for the entire service. If ready, they also get to participate in communion!
Your family’s safety is a top priority. Registering online helps us individually care for our family. You may also check out our policies and procedures that we have every volunteer sign. We are partners in caring for your child!
ONGOING events
AFTER SCHOOL CLASSES - Every Thursday, 3:30-5pm, we host after school classes for students in PreK-5th grade. The theme and price will vary each month, but each session provides fun, hands-on activities that will enrich your student and incorporate Biblical truths! Open to all!
FAMILY SUPPER CLUB - The third Thursday of every month in the Family Space on the 3rd floor of our Education Building. Dinner provided along with childcare for adult breakout groups!
SERVING TOGETHER - On the first Tuesdays of the month (except Sept.), from 4-5pm, we visit Christian Health Care Center to color and craft with the residents!

Family questions
You’ve been spending a lot of time with your kids this past year, like a lot. I’m sure you’re tired of the same conversations and questions - so try asking a few of these to get to know your children better!
Life Maps
Parenting isn’t easy and there’s no way to be fully prepared - it’s a “learn as you go" role! Hopefully, these life maps from Parent Cue can serve as a guide for your parenting journey and help you identify needs, questions, and milestones as your child develops. Let us know how we can help you!
