Here at Bay City Church, we highly value children and believe God wants to work in the lives of children just as much as adults. Our heart and vision is to raise up secure children who understand their identity in God and go on to become leaders in every area of society, making an everlasting impact.
Our Sunday kids programme helps to lay a solid biblical foundation in the lives of our Rooted Kids. We begin our programme with worship, and then break into different age groups for the morning’s lesson, activities and games.
Age Specific Classes
Acorns
Ages 2 – 3
Acorns is all about learning through play. We start laying a biblical foundation through story-telling, play dough activities, colouring etc. We also have free play time for children to interact with one another.
Sprouts
Ages 4 – 5
Sprouts is for children who are about to start “big school”. We teach our Bubbles about God through engaging stories, activities and interaction. We also encourage interaction with other children through free play time, as well as team work using team games and activities.
Sunflowers
Ages 6 – 7
In our Sunflowers class, we continue to lay a solid biblical foundation through stories, Bible lessons and curriculum. Activities and stories are related to the message and the theme for the week. We encourage individual and partner work at this age, and help build each child’s self esteem and courage through partner activities and prayer.
Aloes
Ages 8 – 10
With Aloes, we begin to teach children the value of reading their Bible and memorising verses. Through our curriculum, we teach the children how to think and engage in activities, encouraging discussion and depth.
Oaks
Ages 11 – 13
The Oaks class provides pre-teens with powerful spiritual input through open discussions, activities and lessons that cover relevant topics for this age group. We also organise activities outside of a Sunday service, such as hikes, sleepovers, fellowship days and art sessions. Deeper kids are also encouraged to get involved in church by assisting leaders in the younger Kingdom Kids classes.
The Process
Kids Facilities
We have a number of Rooted Kids classrooms that cater specifically for our youngest members at Bay City Church.
Parents with toddlers are invited to use the toddler room during the service, accessible from the foyer.
We also have a nursing room for moms with young babies, accessible from inside the church auditorium.
