Kids
Available 10:30 AM Service ONLY
We look forward to seeing you at our weekend services. As a guest, it is our desire that you and your children have a wonderful first experience. Our staff and volunteers work hard to make your visit meaningful and safe. Here are a few things to expect:
- We recommend arriving a few minutes early before the service.
- When you arrive, please come to the KiDs Check-In Station.
- Friendly volunteers will help register your family. Each child will receive a name tag with a security code. Parents will receive a claim ticket with the same security code, which must be presented to the room volunteers when picking up your child.
- All of our volunteers receive a criminal background check.
We provide a safe, nurturing environment for care, activity, and instruction in the following areas…
- Nursery: 6 weeks – 12 months
- 1-2 years
- 3, 4, 5 years
- K, 1, 2 grades
- 3, 4, 5 grades
Preschool
Caring leaders introduce babies and toddlers to God’s love by praying for them and creating a safe, comfortable atmosphere. One and two year olds experience Bible stories, videos, and age appropriate activities that help them learn more about God’s love.
Children ages three to five years experience Bible stories, videos, fun worship songs with motions and movement, and age appropriate activities. Children are first introduced to meeting in small groups and beginning to build relationships with each other and leaders as they learn about God. By the time they are five years old, we want every child to believe these three truths:
- God made me.
- God loves me.
- Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
Elementary
Children in K to 5th grade experience high-energy worship, a chronological study through the Bible, engaging age-appropriate activities, and intentional small groups. A fun environment is the setting for kids to build strong relationships with each other and their leaders as they learn about God. When your son or daughter transitions into middle school, we want them to know three very important things:
- God created me in His image and wants me to know Him personally.
- The Bible is God’s perfect, unified story of redemption through Jesus Christ.
- God wants me to embrace the Gospel (believe it and live it), engage in community, and impact the world for Christ.
It’s more than just childcare. Come experience the FBC difference.
Teaching – LIFE Groups meet on Sunday mornings from 9:15-10:15 AM for both middle school and high school students, with caring teachers who genuinely desire to invest in the students help them better understand and embrace God’s Word. We engage in fun activities or games then dive into the Bible through teaching and discussion. Students often sit together in the 10:30 AM worship service.
We would love to meet you and invite you to participate. Please contact the church staff if you have any questions here.
What is a LIFE Group?
LIFE Groups are groups of 8-25 people that meet together (on Campus or in a home) one time a week for Bible study, prayer, and friendship. LIFE Groups exist to help people engage in community and take the next step in their spiritual journey toward embracing the Gospel and impacting the world for Christ.
To get plugged into a life group, please contact the church staff here.
