Children's Ministry FAQs

Programming

1. Where is Children's Sunday School?

We have a nursery located on the main floor for babies through Pre-K. Godly Play for kids (ages K-5) meet in the room right next door. 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. But we know it's challenging for children to sit through an entire service, so children and parents are encouraged to utilize our fidget toys during the service. 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 7-10, 2025) for the summer, and we send our children and youth (grades 2-12) to sleep away camp at Quaker Ridge in mid-July each year. Often, families host cookouts and invite all to participate -- allowing church friendships to bloom between parents and kids. Occasionally we host a "Parents Night Out" or a "Zoo Day." Check out the News & Upcoming Events section of our Homepage regularly to stay informed about upcoming events -- or better yet, like us on Facebook or Instagram and stay in touch regularly!

Safety

1. Who is allowed to work with children?

At FBC only staff and volunteers who have completed the appropriate forms and passed a background check for Criminal History and Sexual Offender information can work with children. Parents are welcome to sit in any class.

2. Will you give my child(ren) medication?

No. No medications will be kept in the classroom, cubbies, or diaper bags. With the exception of an Epipen staff or volunteers will not administer any medication.

3. Can you accommodate my child's special dietary needs?

Yes! Please communicate any dietary restrictions/food allergies to your child's teacher and/or our Pastor of Children and Families. We will work to ensure food options and an environment which meets your child's needs.
