Children’s Choice takes place during Power House. This is for 1st through 6th grade. They meet once a month during the fall, winter, and spring semesters.
Children choose a particular ministry to learn, practice and share.
Children have the opportunity to choose choices such as puppets, art projects, hands on ministry/service acts, scrapbooking, and cooking. Each class teaches the children to serve others. Each semester choices are subject to change. There are age requirements for some choices. For more information contact Charis Paul at 979.297.4085.
These are our midweek discipleship programs. They take place on Wednesdays from 6:30-8:00p.m. Both Breakout and Kid’s Quest are designed to help children build relationships with other children and their leaders. The programs begin in September and conclude in March.
Kid’s Quest - is a small group discipleship program for children age 4 through 2nd grade, which takes them on a quest to Discover God’s Word, Discover God’s Plan, Discover God’s Son, and Discover God’s Will. Using Bible Stories, kids will listen, learn, look, and live with safari animals as they complete weekly lessons at home and participate in games, crafts, and stories during their small group time at church. This program not only teaches Bible stories, but also helps them to apply scripture to their lives and prepares them to take the next step into Break Out. For more information contact Rhonda Zirlott at 979.297.0655.
Breakout is an intentional small group discipleship program for 3rd through 6th graders that takes children through 4 stages:
How to know Christ
How to grow in Christ
How to serve Christ
How to share Christ
Breakout meets in the BCS gym. For more information contact Kevin Lange at 979.798.7654.
Treasure Hunts and Servant Evangelism Projects (4th-6th grade) We meet during the summer to do different servant projects in our community to share God's love with people. We also teach the children to step out in faith to pray for people in the community and watch God move mightily.
Pre-Teen Summer Camp This is a 4 day camp for 3rd-6th grade children that usually takes place every summer in the month of June. A time to grow spiritually while having fun, along with a time of fellowship and relationship building for the children, as well as the leaders.
Mission Trip This is a week long trip taken by students that have completed the 4th year of Break Out.
Hallelujah Festival This is our alternative to the traditional trick or treating activities. This is a time of outreach to the community and a way to provide a safe environment for children to have fun.
