KIDS MINISTRY
FOR BIRTH – 5TH GRADE
Leading kids into a meaningful and active relationship with God!
“Welcome to BBC Kids!
Our aim is to get kids excited about church each week, knowing that they will be able to connect with their friends, and most importantly, grow closer to Jesus. Everything we do has a focus on teaching them about God in a relatable and accessible.
We believe it’s important to have a strategy for what we will teach your kids. Our strategy ensures kids receive a full and holistic view of God. Our goal is to help kids grow spiritually, by teaching and discussing Scripture in developmentally appropriate ways.
If you have any questions, please contact me.”

QUICK LINKS
Programming & Teaching
Nursery | Sunday School | Children’s Church | Awana
Nursery
Runs throughout the year during Sunday morning service at 10:30am
In our nursery, caregivers lead children ages birth–3 years in age-appropriate activities, including play time, God-centered stories, songs, and verses. Each session in the nursery includes prayer for each child by name, and a simple snack is provided for children over 12 months.
Nursery care is available during:
- Sunday School
- Worship Service
- Midweek Programs
- Some special events
We also take safety, security, and wellness to heart to give you the confidence that your little one is in good hands. Parents check in at a kiosk upon arrival to print a security and nametag for each child.
Sunday School
Meets 9:15-10:15am throughout the school year (September through the Sunday before Memorial Day)
Our Sunday School ministry is our main discipleship ministry for our BBC Kids as they learn Bible stories and principles that will help shape their spiritual journey.
Classes are offered for children from nursery through 5th grade. We use an age-appropriate curriculum that aids in the children discovering God’s truths.
Children’s Church
For ages 4 through 5th grade
Sunday Mornings throughout the year at 10:30am during church service
(except for 1st Sunday of the month when families worship together in the sanctuary)
May Series – Ever After
Fairytales are full of fantasy and imagination. We love them because they take what could be real and add extraordinary circumstances. But what if there was a story where the extraordinary circumstances were real? Could a story like this exist? This month, we are going to look at the story of Ruth to see how God truly writes the best stories for us — full of companions, hope, boldness, and the knowledge that God is always taking care of us.
AWANA Clubs
Each school year (Sept-May), we provide an AWANA program that makes learning the Bible fun! Your kids will enjoy memorizing Scripture and understanding how it can help them know, love, and serve God. When your children come to Awana Clubs, they will listen to a Bible lesson, learn Bible verses, and enjoy an activity. Awana stands for “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed,” based on 2 Timothy 2:15.
Registration opens August 2022

Quarterly Discipleship Event
If you’re an adult, the idea of spiritual habits is probably pretty familiar to you. Spiritual disciplines, quiet time, devotions –whatever you call it, you’ve probably established at least a few rhythms that help you grow spiritually. (Or, at least you’re working on it.) The kids in our ministry, on the other hand, need a little help to figure out how, exactly, to grow spiritually. That’s why we offer activities throughout the year to help them discover 4 habits that can help them grow spiritually – SPENDING TIME WITH GOD (Spring), SPENDING TIME WITH OTHERS (Fall), SHARING YOUR STORY (Summer), & USING YOUR GIFTS (Winter). We hope these activities will set them up for a lifetime of spiritual growth!
Parent Resources
Volunteer
We know that if we want to be effective, we need to be really serious about investing in and empowering the volunteers we lead. When we do that, we multiply our influence, increase the capacity of our ministry, and give kids a better shot at building a lifelong faith. Research shows that young people need not just one pastor, but a community of adults who are all investing in them and in their faith. So, we know it’s important to invest in your first so that you can better invest in kids.
