Children's Ministry

Destination Kids Musical

Sunday 12/10 @7:00 PM

The Light Before Christmas was, and is, Jesus Christ. Before God set one star in place or separated the oceans from the land, He had a plan for the eventual redemption of His creation...your children will learn that although Jesus was born on Christmas Day, he was present in God's overall plan from the beginning.

Beaker and the gang are preparing for their Science class Christmas party. While decorating, lighting the tree, and listening to their teacher, the children begin to understand more fully why we celebrate Christmas and how the birth of Jesus Christ was not the beginning of the story but actually the middle of a larger narrative.

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.
