Our vision is to serve God, children, and families with humility and love while partnering with parents to teach Biblical truths.

We strive to create a safe and secure environment that enables parents to participate in church services and volunteers the opportunity to grow spiritually and connect with other followers of Christ.

Our IBCKids ministry serves children from birth through 5th grade. During our children’s programming, your kids will have the chance to worship and learn about Jesus in a safe, clean, and joyful environment! We have age-specific curriculum for pre-school and elementary students.

A Safe and Secure Environment

IBCKids makes the check-in and check-out process easy, safe and secure. Our procedures ensure that you are quickly contacted if there are any issues and that only parents and authorized individuals can pick up a child. And, each IBCKids volunteer has undergone a background check to ensure a safe environment for your children.

For a faster check-in experience, pre-register your child ahead of time.

Our Latest Kids' Series

In January, IBCKids will be learning how all our stories reveal the hypostatic union, or how Jesus is both God and man. Jesus grew up as a human kid learning about God but also amazing everyone with His godly wisdom. Jesus faced temptations just like any human, but He resisted them and proved His divine strength and authority. Jesus explained to Nicodemus that to have eternal life, Nicodemus needed to believe in Him as God’s Son. Jesus forgave sins and healed a paralyzed man, demonstrating His divine power and authority, while also showing His compassion and care as a human.

Parents, you can find both the topics and bible verses that your child is learning, along with a memory verse and a key question that each child will be asked as the focus of the lesson.

Check out the Schedule of Learning as well as a Family Calendar below!

This January & February during Wooly Wednesdays, IBCKids will be diving into all kinds of fun with fishing and water sports while learning about Jesus’ Ministry and how he trained the Disciples to be Fishers of Men!

IBCKids will learn that God’s way is the best way throughout January & February so your child will not want to miss even a second of Wooly Wednesdays!!

Series Title: Gone Fishin’

Memory Verse: “’Come and follow me,’ Jesus said. ‘I will send you out to fish for people.’” Mark 1:17 (NIRV)

Sunday Mornings

In June, IBCkids will learn how much the New Testament is comprised of Epistles, or letters that were written to the early Church. They were written to give encouragement, direction and doctrine to the early Church, as there was a lot of confusion within the new churches about what they should be following. Jesus had only just died, risen and gone to heaven. Paul and John wrote to clarify how God loves unconditionally and calls us to do the same.

Wooly Wednesdays!

Summer is here!  We wanted to keep you in the loop for what IBCKids has in store for your kiddos over the next couple of months!  

First, we WILL still be having IBCKids ministry from 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM on Wednesday nights (excluding VBS week, which is 6:30-8:30 PM!)  In the summer, we call it WACKY WEDNESDAY and change up the programming just a bit, while we give opportunities for kids to grow deeper in their scripture study and TAWG (Time Alone With God) at home.  

 

So, this summer, we will be working through the devotional book, Marvel at the Moon by Levi Lusko.  For anyone who wants to participate, we will go through the daily devotion together, from Sunday, June 16, through September 13, 2024.  As a family, you are invited to purchase the book and take part in the devotional, if you would like.  Your child DOES NOT have to participate in the daily devotional in order to come on Wednesday nights!!  This is just an opportunity for the kiddos to dive deeper this summer as we present some of the topics from the devotional book each night of Wacky Wednesdays!!

 

If you would like to purchase the book for your family, the information is on the back.  I have included the Amazon link, or you can also get it at other websites such as Christainbooks.com, FaithGateway.com, Walmart.com, Churchsource.com, etc.

 

It’s going to be a great summer!  God is going to do great things!

 

Feel free to reach out, if you have any questions.

Is your child ready to receive christ?

We firmly believe that the Holy Spirit can move in someone’s life regardless of their age. If your child has expressed interest in making a decision to follow Christ, we would love to hear about it. Follow the link below to let us know so that we can celebrate and partner with you as you walk through this decision with them.

Is your child ready for baptism?

Baptism is the outward expression of the inward change that God has done in the life of a believer. If you believe your child has repented of their and become a follower of Jesus, they may be ready for baptism. Reach out to us below so we can walk through your family’s next steps with you.

Parent Commissioning

Twice a year, we have a parent commissioning during our Sunday service. We know that families grow best in the ways of the Lord when parents take the lead in discipling their children. But we as the church want to partner with you! Parent Commissioning is a time when participating parents and the church form a covenant to uphold this partnership to raise their children in the ways of the Lord.
