CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

 

We love the energy and joy that children bring to the church.  We welcome them in worship and provide opportunities for them to explore their faith.  These include Sunday school starting at age 3, children's church during the second half of the church service for children grades K-3, and Vacation Bible School in the summer.  We look forward to meeting your children.

YOUTH FELLOWSHIP 

Youth group is for students in grades 3-7.  Anyone through grade 12 is welcome to join to help spread The Joy of Faith, be a mentor and join in on the  fun.  They gather on the 1st and 3rd Sundays during the school year September through May, right after church service till 1:30pm.  They enjoy fellowship, games, lunch, art & music.  They also share their talents and volunteer in our community by helping others with their yard work, in our church garden, at the BCS food pantry or clean-up in the village and parks.  The summer months they will get together for special events, movies, lock-in, pizza challenge, bowling, fishing derby, kayaking, swimming, water sports and much more. It takes a village/church family to help lift up and raise God's Children.

 

1 Timothy 4:12 Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.
