Our mission
As an extension of Columbia City United Methodist Church, City Kids Preschool is grounded in the mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. We are devoted to living out this mission by embracing the church’s guiding vision: LOVE FIRST — before all else, just as Jesus commands.
-
As a Christ-centered, high-quality educational ministry serving the children and families of Whitley County, our calling is twofold:
To nurture a deep love for God in every child
To lay strong foundations for lifelong learning
Our relationship-based classrooms foster holistic growth — spiritual, social, emotional, cognitive, and physical —because we believe that each child is a precious creation of God, uniquely gifted and unconditionally loved. We are honored to support each child as they grow in both faith and knowledge.
