children's ministries

WE HELP CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES GROW DEEP ROOTS OF FAITH AND BUILD FRIENDSHIPS WITH ONE ANOTHER.

ABOUT KIDS CONNECTION

Your children and their spiritual development are very  important to us at FSBC LAWRENCE.
OUR APPROACH.  Kids Connection is a place where kids from birth - 6th grade make faith connections in a safe, fun, and encouraging environment. All children are welcome and helped to grow like Jesus did:
  • In WISDOM by learning the truth of God’s Word. 
  • In FAVOR WITH GOD by giving them an understanding of who God is and a passion to seek His will. 
  • In FAVOR WITH MAN by building relationships with others in our faith community and being Christ-like in their interactions and sharing God’s love with all people. 
We connect all this to the Gospel message so each child will know their need to have a personal relationship with Jesus.   

OUR COMMITMENT: The Bible tells us that parents are the primary disciple makers of their children. We hope to connect with parents to help build on the foundation being laid at home. Our Sunday morning and Wednesday night programs will support you and provide experiences to help your kids develop a life-long faith. Through the FAITH@HOME program you have access to an age-appropriate pathway of milestones to guide and encourage you as your children grow in their faith.

OUR PRIORITY: While your children are in our care, safety is a priority. All of our staff and volunteers have passed background checks and completed a child protection training. Our check-in system provides allergy alerts and other information about each child to our teachers. It also helps insure that only an approved guardian may pick up a child. Security measures are in place throughout our building.

OUR VOLUNTEERS: We have a consistent and experienced group of volunteers who work with all children on Sunday Mornings and Wednesday evenings, as well as at special events. Your children will have the same Bible Study teachers each Sunday morning and the same TeamKid, RA and GA leaders each Wednesday evening. They are committed to serving children and most have been sharing God’s love and encouraging kids to walk with Jesus for many years. Kids feel comfortable and make connections that will help them grow in their faith throughout their lives.

OUR CURRICULUM: We use a school year calendar and promotion schedule, with kids moving to new classes on the first Sunday of September.  Our Sunday curriculum for kids through 6th grade is Explore the Bible published by Lifeway. It gives kids a good understanding of both Old and New Testament content, encourages Bible skills and Biblical knowledge. On Wednesday evenings, we use missions-based curriculum from the Southern Baptist Mission Board and Lifeway.

KIDS CONNECTION:
SUNDAY morningS

extended session
8:30 and 11:00am SUNDAYS

During both services, we provide care for children from birth - PreK in two classrooms. Each week, our trained volunteers play, sing, rock, and read with kids while parents attend one of our services. Children may also use our playground, weather permitting. Children in kindergarten and older attend the services with their families.

nursery (Birth-2)
9:45AM SUNDAYS

In our nursery, your child’s first experience at church will be safe and nurturing. Our caregivers provide gentle interaction through play, reading books and music in a calm environment. Your little ones will begin to connect being at church with being in a safe, happy and loving place.

AGES 2 - 3
9:45AM SUNDAYS

Your early preschoolers will begin to discover who God is and how much He loves them. They will develop friendships during guided playtime. Each week they will be engaged in an age-appropriate Bible story with connections to a simple truth. Take home cards are provided so you can continue helping your child learn.

pre-K - K
9:45AM SUNDAYS

PreK and Kindergarteners learn that the Bible is a special book from God that He gave us to understand how much He loves us and how He wants us to treat the people around us. They also learn the importance of connecting with God through prayer – thanking, asking for help, saying sorry. Prayer is modeled and kids are encouraged to pray with their class. Each week there is a Bible story using simplified language, a simple Bible verse to learn and a hands-on activity to provide visual and kinesthetic connections to the lesson.

1st - 2nd grades
9:45AM SUNDAYS

Each first grader is presented with an age-appropriate Bible so they can start hiding God’s Word in their hearts. They use their Bibles each week to learn Bible skills and some background of each book that their lessons focus on. The curriculum has a good balance of stories from the Old and New Testaments. Ongoing themes are: knowing the one true God and that He is always there for them in all situations, telling others about God and the salvation message of saying “Yes!” to Jesus. Kids will be encouraged to have a daily quiet time to help them connect God’s Word with their daily lives.

3rd - 6th Grades
9:45AM SUNDAYS

Our middle grade kids continue to develop friendships with each other and Jesus. A fellowship time at the beginning of class allows kids to share life and connect with each other. Kids are encouraged to bring their Bibles each week and to memorize scripture so they can always find God’s truth and be ready to share God’s word and promises. Lots of object lessons are used to help connect Bible messages to life and encourage discussion. Kids are reminded every week that they are created with a purpose and that God will always be with them as they put their faith and trust in Him.

CO-ED AGES 3 - K
6:00-7:00PM WEDNESDAYS

Team Kid is for children ages 3 – Kindergarten. It is a simple time of a Bible story, crafts, games, snacks and some unstructured play time. Each week kids are welcomed to join in and hear a Bible story with an age appropriate message and then to make connections by doing a craft, playing games and making friends.

BOYS 1st - 6th Grades
6:00-7:00PM WEDNESDAYS

Picture
Royal Ambassadors is a mission education program for boys in 1st through 6th grades. At the meetings we talk about missionaries and the work they do, learn Bible verses, do activities, and play games that boys enjoy.  We also participate in mission projects throughout the year, go in campouts, hikes, and do other fun activities. RAs are divided into the Lads (1st-3rd Grades) and Crusader (4th-6th Grades) groups.

GIRLS 1st - 6th Grades
6:00-7:00PM WEDNESDAYS

Picture
In GAs, elementary-aged girls learn about missionaries and the work they do, the people with whom they work, and the places where they live around the world. We have games, puzzles, stories, crafts, and videos about the people and places we are studying. Once a month, the girls work on GA Journey where they learn about being a GA, doing missions, giving, helping missionaries, learning the Bible, praying, serving their church, and telling others about Jesus.
