Children's Ministry

FAITH NEWS NETWORK

The setting is a Heavenly news broadcast originating inside the pearly gates, hosted by two angelic news anchors. This musical brings Bible stories to life as the news anchors and two angelic reporters flow back and forth between Bible news coverage and interviews with Bible heroes! You'll hear from Noah, Joshua, Queen Esther, Moses, Abraham and Sarah, and Paul and Ananias about their fantastic faith. Faith News will encourage everyone to believe that anything is possible when we follow God's plan.

At FBC Springfield we love teaching and caring for the elementary school children entrusted to us. In addition to teaching our children the truths about God, we believe God wants to work through our children now instead of them having to grow older before they begin serving others. For this reason our Children's Ministry regularly connects across the generations of our church through service projects and activities that bless senior adults or the whole church.

Next-Generation Ministry Objectives:

Children to know who the Bible is about and why it is true and authoritative.
Children to cultivate a Christ-centered faith that produces spiritual fruit.
Children to pursue the Great Commission in and outside the local church.

As with all programming for minors, all regular volunteers have been screened via a background check and have been trained regarding best practices for safety and security. Our children's ministry director is Carol Stewart (Carol's Bio).

9:15AM-10:15AM: During this hour, the elementary children are divided into age-graded classes to learn biblical truths about God, Christ, and how they should live in light of the gospel. We have a great team of committed teachers that invest each week in our younger ones during the Sunday morning Bible study hour.

10:30AM-11:30AM: We believe that our children learn a lot by being in at least part of the worship service on Sunday morning. Prior to the sermon, we dismiss our younger children (K-2nd Grade) to children's church for an age-appropriate, fun-filled lesson. We also offer activity pages and coloring pages for children of all ages to participate with the content of the service and Pastor Jason makes an effort to regularly interact with our children in the service. Children's church is every Sunday except the 1st Sunday of the month.
