Children

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14

fbcKIDS Worship
is a great place for kids to be kids!

At FBC we want kids to know that they have a place in God's kingdom. We know that kids can be wiggly, silly & loud and we have reasonable expectations when it comes to kids. We know that it is tough to sit through an entire sermon! That's why we offer fbcKIDS Worship during the sermon, for our kiddos age 4 through grade 4. Our team of volunteers understands kids and wants to teach kids about Jesus and help them to understand the Bible better and how they can apply the truth of God's Word to their lives, even as youngsters. We want to cultivate the seeds that God has planted in them, helping them to grow in grace and understanding of what God has planned for their lives. We believe that no one is ever too young to have a relationship with Jesus!  

*Note: Children are dismissed during the song before the sermon. (Watch the screen for the prompt.) We ask first time attenders to escort their children (age 4 -Grade 4) back to the Kids space so that leaders can meet parents and everyone is familiar with the dismissal routine. Children will not be dismissed without an adult.
