Children's Ministry - Main
Here at FBC, children are an important part of the life of the church. Children bring energy, excitement and enthusiasm into our faith, helping us understand all that God is doing through God's creations! Through a variety of programs, the Children's Ministry teaches children, ages birth - fifth grade, the stories of our faith, how God is working in the world, and how they can make a difference wherever they are, no matter their age.
Our Sunday School is the core of who we are. It is here that children hear the stories that have impacted Christians for generations. Our hope is that through these stories, children will develop their own faith. Children are divided according to age or grade and taught age appropriate lessons that will give them a firm foundation to their faith formation.
Our Wednesday Night Programming offers choir and missions. In choir children express their faith through music- both singing and playing instruments. Our missions program teaches children what people of faith are doing throughout the world to bring about the kingdom of God. In the past we have collected coats for a local charity, collected school items for orphans in Bulgaria, and since 2004 our children have raised over $10,000 for various organizations!
Every month we have a fun activity whose sole purpose is to build community, life-long friendships among our children. With over a dozen preschool and elementary schools represented every week, sometimes it's hard to have a church community that includes everyone. So we work very hard to plan events that make everyone feel included and a part of the ministry, no matter where they live or go to school! Some of the bigger events, like the Easter Egg Hunt, provide a chance for all of our kids across the age range, to come together and play.
The Children's Ministry is growing and changing. This is an exciting time to be a part of the Children's Ministry, both as a child or a volunteer. If you feel God is leading you to be a part of this ministry, please do not hesitate to contact Carrie Veal.
