Rebranding. Need a name that reflects a connection between church and home.
Words reflecting on…connecting, sync, bridging, linking,…

I am looking for a new name for our children’s church. We are moving into a bigger area of the church which we just added and all will be new. I am searching for a new name which would include our church name, Grace Fellowship Family Worship Center. Also, looking for a new theme for the room. We have been called Sonforce kids and had a space theme. Wanna change it up for the new space and make it new and exciting. Any ideas?
Thank you.

This discussion has been very insightful. Any comments on using the “church branding” approach with a First Baptist Church? FirstKids sounds fine, but then there’s the “which First Baptist?” question (there are several small towns around and each has a First Baptist Church). If the prevailing thought is for our own kids to grasp identity with our ministry and church and not worry about others wondering which FBC we’re from, then FirstKids works fine. But if we’re promoting our church and children’s ministry through T-shirts, posters, postcards, etc., then what is a catchy way to fine-tune “FirstKids?”

I like names that have something to do with the church if you are a part of a church. However, I am starting up a ministry for 4th and 5th grade girls, unaffiliated. Some ideas I’ve either come up with or seen in my search for name ideas:
Fuel
Base 45
The Summit
SHINE (Seek Him IN Everything)
Blaze
ACE (Always in Christ’s Embrace)
BLAST (Building Lives Around Scriptural Truth)
ATTIC (Always Trusting Together In Christ)
The Forge
Pulse
SWAT (Students With A Testimony)
Tag (stolen from New Life Church’s old youth group name in Colorado Springs)
I liked Collin’s “C4″ posted on this page
And I liked Kendra’s old name “FUSE”

I can’t believe how hard it is to name a group for 9-11 year old girls! Any other ideas or comments anyone??

Personally, I vote BeachKids or BCC Kids. I tend to go with simplicity, clarity and broad appeal. Both of these names can fit with any age group and kids of any age could identify with it. You could always name specific age areas that are age specific… But your overarching name needs to not single any age group out.

Also, both of these names clarify that they belong to Beach Community Church. No ambiguity there.

Last of all, it’s really simple. You can “fun it up” with a logo or brand… But it’s just too easy.

Those are my thoughts though.
Also… For the love of all that is holy.. Stay away from the “z!”

Honestly, I like Orchard Kids. OPC Kids is okay… kind of a mouthful. The grove is a cool name for a Children’s Ministry, and it’s cool when you see it in relation to the church name… but the only thing I don’t like is that it’s different enough from the church name that if you were communicating it separate from the church, you’d have to explain that it’s a part of OPC. Just my opinion though. Last comment. Stay away from the Z. This is the disease of Children’s Ministry. Again… just my opinion… but one of my quests in life is to influence Children’s Pastors to stop using a Z instead of an S.
