Kid's Ministry

We Are So Glad You Stopped By!

Parents, like you, are concerned about raising kids of character in a culture that is constantly influencing them. At Kent First Baptist, we want to come alongside families, reinforce the values you teach at home, and help kids put their young faith into action. We would love the opportunity to be a part of your team!

Mission Possible!

We believe that God has put us in Kent for a reason—to share hope through Jesus in the East Hill community and see lives changed. We want kids to grab a hold of the idea that they also have a very real purpose — to REACH kids for Christ, CONNECT them in the family, GROW closer to God, SERVE others with our hearts, and PRAISE God with our lives.

Top Priorities!

  • We value to be Child-Targeted with kid-friendly environments, kid-friendly music, and kid-friendly lengths of time in one place.
  • We value Safety that includes keeping kids physically safe, emotionally safe, and spiritually safe to ask questions about God and life.
  • We value an emphasis of being Relevant & Application Oriented. We want kids to know what the Bible lesson was about, what it means, and what we must do to live out this lesson.
  • We value Teaching the Bible Creatively, using drama, props, interaction and echo phrases. We want kids to be excited about church and learning the next bible lesson.
  • FUN! If it’s for kids, it has to be fun! We want kids to have such a great time that they can’t wait to get back next week.

 

Nursery

Nursery provides loving care for babies ages 6 weeks to 12 months in the Sunday morning service. During our time together we play, have a snack, and learn about Jesus’ love through example.

Preschool

Sunday morning the adventure begins for 3, 4, and 5 year olds as they enter a play space to hang out with other kids. Then they move through a series of rotations that gives preschoolers hands-on learning experiences, songs, crafts, and a fun and engaging Bible lesson. We know that young children are very capable of experiencing the world around them, learning Bible stories, and discovering what they can do with their own hands.

Best Hour of a Kid’s Week

Kids are going to form their first impressions about God and the church through children’s ministry, so we want that picture to reflect how awesome it is to have a relationship with God. So, we strive to teach the Bible creatively with a lot of action and fun!
