Nursery (birth to 2 years)
Nursery is available during Sunday School, morning worship, and Sunday evenings.
Anyone who works with or cares for children in the church receives special training and screening so your child is safe and happy while they are with us. The nursery staff has instant access to assistance via pagers in the event of an emergency. A medical professional is also on the paging system.
Your infant or toddler is welcomed by caring, trained and pre-screened staff. You receive a pager so you know immediately if you are needed and why. Security and medical personnel on the premises also carry pagers and can be alerted instantly for any reason.
Toddler/PreSchool 
(2-4 year-olds ready to be promoted) enjoy singing, playing, coloring and hearing Bible Stories. This age group begins to learn about God and His love.
Pre-Primary children, who usually cannot read yet, attend Sunday School classes that present colorful, interesting Bible stories geared toward their level of understanding. They create some type of craft or handmade project each week to take home as a reminder of the lessons they have learned. 
Singing and other activities teach little ones about God's love for them.
Primary children have a more advanced set of skills and are capable of a higher level of learning and understanding. These Sunday School teachers prepare lessons, songs and activities that make learning about God exciting and new each week. A typical class includes a Bible lesson, memory verse work, and handwork.
Junior Girls and Boys 
have special needs as pre-teens. Sunday School for this group focuses on laying the groundwork for building a lifelong relationship with God and learning from the Bible how God and His Word meet our needs as we grow and develop. Using the Bible, this group learns that God is their friend and can be trusted to help them be better individuals.
Lighthouse Kids
Greeters are on hand each week to welcome children and answer questions for parents.
The program is free, and there are no dues, uniforms or books to purchase.
The foundation of the program is the Bible - teaching children Biblical principles through age-appropriate Bible study, memorization of scripture and fun activities. Children earn points in several areas of the program, including memorization of verses, participation in activities, and bringing new friends to the club. Every other month, a "store" is open where children redeem their award points for small toys, books and other fun merchandise.
Each week a special theme is planned. "Beach Night", "Pajama Night", "Weird Hair Night", and "Patriotic Night" are just a few. There are games, snacks, action-packed activities, singing, and more. Special Speakers are also scheduled.
Children from the area are welcome. There is no cost. For more information contact the church office at 570-937-4848.
Children's Church (ages 3-5)
These children are dismissed from the main sanctuary right before the sermon. Not yet used to sitting still for long periods of time, they leave the service after the opening portion of singing and Bible reading, and meet in small classes in the lower level. There, they draw, color, paint, hear stories, sing and take part in fun play and activities.
Day Camp (ages 4 through high school)
Each June, shortly after school is dismissed for the summer, CBC holds a week of fun-filled activities and learning for children ages 4 through high school. This free event is from 9:00 a.m. to noon and is open to any and all children from the surrounding areas. Each year the theme changes so everything is new each summer. The church sanctuary is decorated almost beyond recognition to depict the theme. 
Fun skits and contests take place in the general session before children break away to classrooms for their particular age group. Classrooms are also highly decorated to promote fun and continuity. Games, snacks and crafts round out the morning.
