SUNDAY MORNINGS

Our nursery is available for children from birth to 2 years old. This is a safe place for your children to play and make new friends while you worship the Lord with us. We also have a private room for mothers and babies as needed.

Using the Engage Curriculum, children have the opportunity each week to develop their Bible skills, learn about the character of God, hear a Bible story, pray, and participate in activities that help them apply Biblical truths. Children in our 1st-3rd Grade Class must be signed in by a parent/guardian and picked up by that adult at the end of the hour. 4th-6th graders can be released to meet their parents on their own. Our goal in the Kids Ministry is to come alongside you as you raise your children to know and love The Lord.

Bible Study Hour:

Children's Bible Study Classes are offered at 9:15 AM. When you come for the first time, register your child at the check-in desk.

Children in Worship:

Family worship is integral to Southview Baptist Church. As your child enters elementary school, you will find increased interest and questions about God, the Bible, and the Church. This is the perfect time to start training your child to participate in "Big Church." In terms of your child's spiritual training, family worship time on Sunday morning may be the most important event of your week. It lays the foundation for your family devotions at home.

Worshiping together as a family is preferable to a Children’s Church Sunday morning format because:

Kids Church splits families. Children go to their Bible Study Classes and then to Kids Church, not seeing Mom and Dad again until it is time to go home. The Worship Service may be the only time a family sits down together all week. Family worship is a critical part of the spiritual foundation you are building for your family.

It is critically important for children to see Mom and/or Dad worshiping by holding their Bible, singing, tithing, and listening to the pastor speak from the Bible. This worshipful behavior passively teaches children the importance of spiritual things and models for the child’s reverence and worship. Godly attitudes are more taught by parents than taught by Kids Church leadership.

On the occasion that the sermon is beyond the child’s comprehension, there is still much to learn. Learning to worship and learning about reverence is critically important and should be taught and practiced as soon as the child is capable of the behavior. If a child does not understand a part of the service, the parent(s) have the opportunity throughout the week to explain it on the child’s level.

Worship is a place where children can identify role models.

By separating families on Sunday morning, we are robbing parents of the opportunity to perform their most important task—spiritually training their children. The Bible teaches that it is the parents' responsibility to spiritually train their children (Deut. 6). The role of the church is to support, facilitate, train, and encourage the parents in this most important task.

Taking your child to worship with you may seem like a challenge. Age-appropriate Kids Worship Bulletins are provided at the HomePointe Center in the Lobby outside of the auditorium. Be assured there are rich spiritual rewards ahead for your family. Imagine being able to have discussions during the week about topics heard from the pulpit together during family worship!
