Preschool & Children’s Ministry
Sunday morning programs at 9am for children from birth through kindergarten meet in our Education Building. Age-appropriate teaching through stories, crafts, music, and movement will introduce these littlest ones to Jesus. Preschoolers also have a special music program, where they are encouraged to learn songs about Jesus and God's love for them. "Jesus Loves Me" is the favorite of most the preschoolers, along with the VeggieTales song, "God is Bigger Than the Boogeyman!"
Elementary age children also meet at 9:00 am in our Education Building. We demonstrate God's love for each child through teaching from God's word. Wednesday night programs start at 6:00-7:30 pm.
Contact Sheli North for more information about any of our children's programs or events.
Vision
The vision of Emmanuel Baptist Church’s KidZone is that children will come to church excited about what they will learn about God next. We want the kids to know that they are loved, valued and appreciate. We want them to leave excited to share God’s love with others and excited to come back the next week. We want kids to leave wondering what they can do at their schools or in their neighborhoods to be a reflection of Christ’s love. Most of all, we want the kids to become devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
Mission
- Help children become devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
- Teach children scripture that they can use at home, school, and in their neighborhood as a survival guide for life.
- Help children become mission minded in their community and wherever else they may go.
- Teach kids that they can have a better life with God.
Values
EBC's KidZone is Christ-centered and kid-friendly. We teach lessons from the Bible in a creative and exciting way that will engage children and give them the desire to know more about God. We value the Bible and all that it teaches us. We understand that kids need to know how the Bible is relevant to their lives today. Our time is spent sharing the word of God and connecting it to the everyday lives of the children through teaching time, small groups, games, activities and crafts.
Mission Friends
On Wednesdays at 6:00 pm, preschoolers in Mission Friends participate in activities and experiences that help set the stage for a missions lifestyle. Preschoolers learn by doing, and so they will participate in activities that provide repetition, stir curiosity, create a sense of accomplishment, help develop relationships, encourage investigation, and use their senses. They will learn to help others, work together, pray, give, and tell others about God’s love and His son, Jesus.
Children in Action
Children in Action is a comprehensive mission program for children in grades 1-5. The kids will pray for missions, engage in missions actions and witness, learn about missions and missionaries, and develop spiritually toward a missions lifestyle. They get the opportunity to participate in the work of the church and support missions, all the while growing in knowledge, understanding, and application of the Bible.
