Children's Ministry

---

The children’s ministry of Swift Creek Baptist Church believes your children are one of the most precious gifts God gives to you. For this reason we strive for excellence in ministering to your children. We provide an exciting and caring atmosphere through developmentally appropriate Bible Study and activities that will lay the foundation for faith in Christ. Each ministry builds on this foundation promoting Godly character and conduct that is based on Biblical principles. Our children’s department encompasses 1^st through 6^th grades.

 

Children's Sunday School

Children's Sunday School, meeting at 9:30 am on Sundays, for 1^st through 6^th grades, provides a loving, nurturing, age-appropriate environment that lays the biblical foundation for faith in Christ and Godly living.

 

Our teachers utilize teaching methods that address the many different learning styles of children in order to maximize their learning and enjoyment. Each grade level department consists of a TEAM of teachers working together to best serve your children.

 

Children grow in their faith through Bible Knowledge, Prayer, Memory verses and developing the habit of doing daily devotions (a time with God). Building healthy relationships with their peers and family is emphasized as well.

 

The 1^st through 6^th grade children may worship with their parents at 11am or they may participate in Kidz Worship.

New Believer’s Class for Children

At Swift Creek Baptist Church we strive to lay a good foundation for those children who are “new babes” in Christ. Each quarter a New Believer’s Classes are offered for Kindergarten through 3rd graders, and 4th through 6th graders. In the class the children review what it means to trust Christ as their Savior and learn that they can have assurance of salvation. The basic tenets of our faith such as baptism, the Lord’s Supper and “The Church” are taught and thoroughly explained. These classes are strongly recommended for children prior to baptism, but are not a requirement. Classes are purposely kept small so that there’s time for individual attention and questions. Parents should call the Children’s Ministry office to register a child for this class.

Discipleship is an imperative command from our Lord – not just for adults but for our children as well. And let’s anchor our children in the Word that they may be “like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. What ever he does prospers.” Psalm 1:3

Kidz Worship

Kidz Worship, at 11 am on Sunday, serves our 1^st through 5^th graders targeting the praise and worship needs of our children while building a bridge for their eventual graduation to the adult congregational worship.

 

During this hour and a half, the kids gain biblical knowledge and learn to apply it to their lives through singing, sharing, and relevant teaching.
