Sundays 9 & 10:30am

Our children's programs provide a warm, creative environment where your child's faith can be nurtured and energized. We employ a variety of fun activities to teach kids about God's love and his plan for our lives. Each member of our staff has been thoroughly evaluated, fingerprinted, and trained in children's CPR and first aid, and we strive to have the same teachers in each class every week. We do this so your child can build a relationship with their caregivers and so you can feel comfortable leaving your precious children in their care. A family or "crying room" is available if you prefer to keep your little ones with you while you attend worship service, and older well-behaved children are always welcome in the sanctuary. Children's classes are offered at the 9:00 and 10:30 hours, with identical content for both classes.

Nursery (birth to 3 years old)
We are fortunate to have a dedicated nursery room, staffed by loving women who have a heart for these littlest ones.

Preschool
Children who are potty trained can move to the preschool class, and will be there until they start Kindergarten. We have long-term preschool teachers who have developed wonderful curriculum that stimulates these young hearts without overwhelming them. This class is held in one of the Melody Park Preschool rooms with an enclosed outdoor playground, so you can be sure your child will be surrounded by only age-appropriate toys and furnishings.

Elementary
Kids in Kindergarten through 5th grade meet together for group worship time, and then split into smaller groups for age-appropriate bible lessons and activities. Little ones may be read a story and do a craft, or play a game that illustrates a concept from the story. Older kids delve into the bible, learning about the amazing people and historical events God recorded for us to learn from.

Special Needs
In order to meet the special needs of children with developmental or physical challenges, FBC has hired certified special needs caregivers to teach this group. Lessons are tailored so these special children can learn of God's love in a way that is understandable for them. If your child would benefit from this class, please contact our Children's Ministry Director for more information.
