Children's ministry

Children's ministry overview
babies - 5th grade

In our Children’s Ministry, we make every effort to provide a safe and secure environment where our children are loved and taught the Bible. We believe that learning begins at birth; therefore we begin teaching about the love of God in even the youngest of classrooms. We want to promote a Christ-centered atmosphere to all children in their age appropriate room. Our hope is by the time the child reaches middle school, there will be a firm foundation for growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus.

VBS 2026

June 29 - July 2

Join us in the lush meadows and the cobblestone streets of Emerald Crossing! Together we’ll take an Irish Adventure through Psalm 23. Every stop along our path will teach us about the Good Shepherd and how He cares for His sheep.

Emerald Crossing VBS will take place June 29 - July 2 (Monday-Thursday). Each day we will meet on campus at FBCW from 8:30am until 12:00pm.

SUNDAY MORNING

9:30 AM: Babies - 5th grade
11:00 AM: Babies - Preschool

Every Sunday, children explore a part of God’s story from beginning to end and how the Gospel of Jesus fits into every aspect of life. The three-year chronological curriculum ensures that no matter when you jump in, you won’t miss a thing.

  • Kindergarten through 5th grade learn the Bible in a large group setting with kid-friendly worship songs and interactive activities that help reinforce God’s truth. Please keep in mind, Kindergarten-5th grade only meet at 9:30 AM.
  • 2 years-old through preschool learn the Bible in a small classroom setting along with a snack and playtime.
  • Babies through one year-old enjoy playtime and a snack in our nursery. (Providing a diaper bag with your child’s name and necessary supplies is encouraged).
Children of all ages are welcome in our worship service each Sunday! Praise Factory is only intended to be supplemental and not in place of attending the worship service. We love seeing the whole family worshiping together every Sunday morning!

Wednesday nights

6:30 PM

Adventure Club is an exciting program for children age 3 through 5th grade that meets on Wednesday nights from 6:30pm- 8:00pm (September-May).

The Adventure Club curriculum takes children through a systematic study of theology in a way that is appropriate for their respective age levels. Each week's lesson is reinforced through Scripture memorization and small group discussion.
Children are organized into three age groups:

Trackers (ages 3-5 pre-k)
Scouts (K5 - 2nd grade)
Trailblazers (3rd - 5th grade)

A new Adventure Club year  begins on September 3, 2025.
Registration is required: Register Here 

Childcare is available to parents who remain on campus and attend the Wednesday Night Bible Study or volunteer. Childcare is available for children under Age 3 (prior to September 1, 2025).

Children's Ministry Procedures


1. Child Drop Off

If attending for the first time, a staff member at the Welcome Center (located inside of the Early Childhood building) will assist you in registering your child in the appropriate class. You will be asked to complete a paper registration and your child’s name will be added to the class roster.

2. Dismissal Procedure

Your child may be picked up directly from their assigned classroom. Teachers will release children exclusively to the parent or guardian with the “guardian receipt” that matches the child’s identification name tag. Children cannot be released to siblings or persons under the age of 18.

3. Lost Claim Check

If you do not have the “guardian receipt,” the Early Childhood Coordinator or staff member will come and confirm identification prior to the child being released.
