Kids Zone Children's Ministry

The Kid’s Zone Ministry at FBC is a Bible-based, gospel-focused, kid-centered ministry where every child feels welcome and safe. Children will experience creative and engaging Bible teaching that leads them to discover the wonderful truths of God. We desire children to fall in love with Jesus and choose him as Savior and Lord, and we are dedicated to working alongside parents to plant a strong foundation of biblical faith in children.

NURSERY (INFANTS THROUGH 24 MONTHS)
The Nursery provides a safe, warm, and playful environment for our littlest ones. Babies spend their time snuggling, rocking, and playing with age-appropriate toys, while experiencing God’s love through songs, simple Bible lessons, and the care of loving volunteers. Please note that volunteers are not permitted to change diapers – parents will be contacted if necessary.

PRE-K and Kinder (3 YEARS OLD THROUGH Kindergarten)
This room is designed to allow times of free play with age-appropriate toys, interaction with trained volunteers who engage in relationship-building with kids, song time, and craft and game time. The trained teachers and helpers use a variety of Bible based curriculum to teach God’s word and his wonderful love. The crafts and take-home materials are designed to engage kids with the lesson truths each week.

KIDS’ CHURCH (1st-6th GRADE)
FBC Kids’ Zone is a large group setting for all children currently attending elementary school. Once your Kids are checeked-in at the Kids Zone Check-in area they will attend their own worship experience, complete with worship, crafts, lesson and snack!  We engage in meaningful, conversational Bible teaching in Kids’ Zone. There are often crazy games and object lessons designed to illustrate the objective of the day. We try to incorporate auditory, visual, and kinetic teaching each week so children can understand the Bible according to their best learning style. While there is a basic structure to Kids’ Zone, there are often attention-getting surprises each week. The curriculum varies, but is always designed to bring the Good News of Jesus into the hearts and minds of kids!

QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE

• Each child must be checked in at our Check-in Kiosk and will be issued a name tag with a code that matches the tag that the parent receives  when checking them in.
• All of our volunteers complete an application process including an interview and a background check. There will always be a minimum of 2 volunteers serving in a classroom.
• Other security measures are in place throughout the FBC campus, including security staff patrolling the church campus.

WHAT IS YOUR CHILD WELLNESS POLICY?
We kindly ask that parents/caregivers help us maintain a Wellness Zone in our nursery and other classrooms. Children will not be admitted if they have experienced any of the following within 24 hours:

• fever over 99.6° F
• vomiting or diarrhea
• runny nose with any color of discharge
• heavy wet coughs
• unexplained rash
• skin infection
• ear infection
• sore throat/strep throat
• childhood diseases (chickenpox, mumps, measles, rubella, pertussis, scarlet fever)

The Children’s Ministry staff will not administer any type of medication to children placed in our care. If a child is taking an antibiotic, he or she must be on it for at least 24 hours before coming into class or nursery.
We appreciate your cooperation in keeping all our children healthy.

CAN I RUN ERRANDS WHILE MY CHILD IS IN CLASS?
No. We ask that a responsible adult remain in the building while his or her child is checked in to our ministry. We believe it is beneficial for families to attend church together, so we encourage you to attend service as well.
