BFCN's Children's Ministries
We’re God’s Kids!!
Trusting in Jesus
Training for service
Following in God’s Way
Leading others to Christ
Remember my words in your hearts and souls. Write them down and tie them to your hands as a sign. Tie them to your foreheads to remind you., Teach them well to your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and walk along the road. Talk about them when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on your doors and gates.
Deuteronomy 11:18 ICB
Ministry Vision:
We want to welcome you to our children’s ministry! Our goal is to partner with you in growing and developing a passion for following Jesus in your children. We believe that it is the parents’ responsibility to be the main spiritual leader and influence in your child’s life. We seek to offer you, your family, and your children the resources, love, and discipleship opportunities as you journey in faith. Each week that your children are with us, our hope is to help them to see and connect the awesome power and wonder of God to their everyday life. Whether it’s snack time, playing a fun game, coloring a picture, or making a craft, we hope that your child sees the love of Jesus and the big picture and plan God has for them.
All volunteers working with children have undergone a criminal background check and application process.
Nursery
(0 – 18 months)

This room is for our babies 0– 18 months of age. Your little ones will be loved and cared for by our wonderful nursery volunteers while you worship in the service. We believe it is never too early to teach our children God’s love. So as you worship, your child will hear and feel God’s love as they are cared for and nurtured in our Nursery with Bible songs, stories and through meeting their basic needs. If you will be staying for SS hour, you may leave your child in the nursery until your class is dismissed. Please be sure to bring your Planning Center guardian tag when picking up your infant.

Health Precautions:
Parents are requested NOT to bring a child who appears ill. Fever, diarrhea, red or puffy watery eyes, runny nose and irritability are all signs something is not quite right. Nursery staff will return children who are possibly ill to their parents. We will accept a child who has been on prescribed antibiotics for 24 hours, provided they are feeling well enough to stay. Toys and baby furniture are sterilized routinely. All workers are trained in child safety and are pre-screened.
