Children's Ministry FAQs
Programming
1. Where is Children's Sunday School?
We have a nursery located on the main floor for babies through two year olds. Preschool Sunday School is located down the hall from the nursery. Our kids ages K-5 attend Sunday School on the second floor. Any greeter or person with a name tag will be happy to direct you.
2.Do children attend worship?
As a congregation which supports the priesthood of all believers children are an important part of worship. Children and parents are encouraged to utilize our worship bags during the service. Each bag contains a Bible, Crayons, and Children's Bulletin. Guest bags are available under the name tag board. In worship, we encourage kids to pray or read scripture as they are willing.
The nursery is available during worship for babies and preschoolers.
3. Does FBC-CS do programming in the summer with children?
Yes! We just finished Praise Camp (July 12-15, 2021) for the summer, but have a Family Game Night (Aug. 13), Fall Kick-Off (Aug. 22), and a family zoo day (Aug. 28) still to come. Reach out to the Emilia in our Church office for more information.
