Children Ministries

Children are an important part of our church family. We wish to reach out to families and take seriously the responsibility we have toward training children. Every member of our ministry team has been trained under out "Plan to Protect" policy in order to provide a safe environment for your children to be ministered to. Along with Sunday school, we seek to assist in the raising up of your children through the following ministries.

Nursery

Junior Church

Awana Clubs

Soccer

We have the awesome privilege of offering a soccer program that is fun and family oriented where skills are taught and practiced in a positive and low-stress environment. Each week our coaches, referees and support workers get to demonstrate the love of God to the children that participate and the parents that come out to watch. We believe it is important that we communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ in a manner that is easily understood by all that attend. This program runs for two months in the spring/summer on Wednesday evening.

Summer Soccer 2012 begins May 9th at 6:30pm. Coaches will be calling to let kids know what team they are on.

Our church seeks to team up with parents through a weekly program and special events that introduce children to Christ and build a biblical foundation for faith! Our Awana club is an excellent program for reaching kids with the good news of our Savior, providing a means to teach them God’s word and demonstrating God’s love for them.

The Awana program includes a Council Time when the kids are taught lessons from God’s word; Awana strongly encourages regular bible verse memorization and we also have a fun time playing some games. This program runs from September through April on Wednesday evenings.

Our Children's Church is designed to teach and reach children age 3 to grade one with the Word of God in a way in which they can both learn and have fun in their own Sunday Morning service! It is a time packed with exciting teaching, Scripture games and snack.

We also believe it is important for the children at this age to begin to learn what "big church" is all about, so we invite the children to join us for part of the worship service. They are dismissed prior to the message to go into their own class to be taught from God's word at a level that they can understand.

At Port Perry Baptist Church, we believe that Bible centered teaching is critical for spiritual growth.  Each Sunday morning we meet at 9:30 for age appropriate teaching in an interactive environment for all ages.  We welcome you to join us as we study the word of God and encourage its application in your life.

Children

We believe that children are a precious gift from God.  Loving care and age-appropriate teaching is provided to help children grow in their understanding of God. The curriculum and resources used are Bible-based and geared to the spiritual, emotional, and cognitive development of the children.

Babies and toddlers are introduced to the love of God as it is demonstrated by our faithful care-givers.

Pre-school

Children aged two to five are taught about God and Jesus through lessons drawn from both the Old and New Testaments.  Our desire is to teach and model for them God’s love and providential care. 

Grades 1 to 6

We seek to help the parent nurture their child’s faith development by providing an opportunity for children to learn more about God, His plan of redemption, the life of Christ and how to live the Christian life.  This is accomplished through a systematic rotation of Old and New Testament studies which covers more than just the typical and familiar stories of the Bible. 

Each class is taught by teachers who are committed to teaching your children God’s word.  The curriculum is geared for each age group and seeks to challenge them to not be mere hearers of the word only, but also active participants as they read and search the scriptures for themselves.  We desire that each child have a greater understanding of what God wants them to know from each passage as well as how they can put into practice what they have learned. 

Nursery is a loving and safe environment designed to care for and nurture children during the first two years of life. We offer this program during our Sunday services and during some of our other ministries.
