Believers' Bay builds faith and friendships in ways that are fun and relevant to children.
Through Large Group time, Believers' Bay delivers the Word of God to children by using high drama skits and lessons, upbeat music and engaging group games.
All of these activities are designed to be relevant to the lives of children. They work together to build faith in young hearts.
Believers' Bay encourages friendships by using Small Groups. Within
the Small Groups, children feel safe to share joys and concerns, and
participate in discussions about family, faith and friends. The relationships that are formed in the
Small Groups are models for the children and their own relationships with
Jesus. Each week, Small Group Leaders give each child practical daily challenges and ideas for practicing their faith
at home. Parents are encouraged to engage in these activities with their children.
- Believers' Bay uses Faith Weavers Friends curriculum, published by Group
Publishing.
- All Believers' Bay staff volunteers are well-trained and have been screened for the safety of our children.
- The church nursery is available for childen under 2.

The safety and happiness of
our children are the primary concerns of our children's ministry
team. Our childcare program is staffed by several regular care
givers and volunteers who serve in rotation. The continuity of
our regular workers help little ones grow in their trust that
the church family has a special place for them and cares about
their needs. Using volunteers to support the paid staff allows
better adult to child ratios and invites church members to live
out vows they make each time a child is baptized in our midst. |
