junior church

Kids' worship time

Junior church is a program during Sunday worship where children leave the main service for age-appropriate religious instruction and activities.

The children attend "big church" with their families for part of the service, then are dismissed to their own gathering: The kids head to junior church right after the offering.

Also called children's church.
