Christ Church After School (CCAS) is a ministry of Christ United Methodist Church, and, as such, its mission, vision, and values are based on the Christian religion and Methodist tradition. We believe that Christ Church After School, first and foremost, should be a place of belonging. It is our prayer that each child, inclusive of gender, race, nationality, age, learning differences, physical differences, religion, or any other marker of difference, might feel safe and included within the context of CCAS. We welcome children who do not share our faith background and assure that we will treat each child with dignity and respect.
CCAS provides care to elementary-aged students from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Our program primarily serves students from Scroggs Elementary because it is within walking distance of the church.
A week at Christ Church After School looks like:
Mondays: Distance learning day! There are many places that offer “distance learning” programs for kids. There are 68 National Parks in the US plus monuments and memorials, zoos and museums. It’s our plan to “visit” as many places as we can. Sometimes we even do a live chat right in the classroom!
Tuesdays: Science, Crafts, Music, and Holiday Celebrations.
Wednesdays: Games with host-with-the most, Pastor Lee! Inside or outside, large and small. Who would have thought Pool Noodles were an educational Tool?!
Thursdays: Art Day. Not just MAKING art but we’re learning about some of the greatest artists of all time. We include paintings and other works found at the North Carolina Museum of Art so after a lesson parents can take their kids to the museum to see the real thing.
Fridays: Movie Day! Come in and smell the popcorn.

NEW! All Day VBS Option
Keep the VBS party going! Since we know many families need a full-day option, Christ Church Afterschool is thrilled to team up with CUMC VBS 2026 for our first year of all-day VBS. From June 22nd–26th (12:00 PM – 5:30 PM), children in grades kindergarten through fifth grade can transition straight from VBS into an afternoon packed with adventure for just $50 a day. We’ll provide the snacks and the energy—you just bring the lunch!
Led by our Afterschool Director Steve Case and his awesome staff, your campers will dive into everything from virtual national park tours and chats with park rangers to science, music, and fine arts. We’ve even been known to host the occasional popcorn dance party! While we’re all about high-energy fun, we also value our "One Table" philosophy, celebrating the diverse faiths and traditions of all our students. Rest assured, your children are in great hands; we strictly adhere to CUMC’s Safer Sanctuary policies. Spaces are limited, so click below to register and secure your spot for a summer of discovery!
