BABIES - GRADE 12

Partnering with Families. Engaging Children.

 

So love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength. Memorize his laws and tell them to your children over and over again. Talk about them all the time, whether you're at home or walking along the road or going to bed at night, or getting up in the morning. Deuteronomy 6:4-7 (CEV)


Next Gen Ministries at First Christian Church aims to partner with families to build a foundation of faith in Christ for the next generation by cultivating authentic relationships in a place where everyone belongs and providing engaging experiences that bring God’s story to life.

Weekday Preschool

30 months - PreK

We continue our original purpose of nurturing children in body, mind, and spirit. We do this so they, like Jesus, will grow in wisdom, stature and favor with both God and man. (Luke 2:52)

 

Classes meet Monday-Thursday, 8:45-11:45a during the school year.

 

FCC Kids

Babies - Grade 6

FCC Kids uses a purposeful curriculum that meets children where they are in body, mind, and spirit. From Nursery to 6th Grade, we build a strong foundation in Jesus and the Bible, helping them become growing followers of Jesus who can share their faith with others. Our kids sing, dance, play, create, and dive deep in an environment focused on God!

FCC Students

Grades 7-12

Our youth ministry exists to help teenagers follow Jesus and to live a life that is loving, transforming, and always thriving in Christ. We believe teenagers are not the church of the future, but are an essential and vital part of the church today. 

 

 

UPCOMING EVENTS

The 9-week Summer Challenge will focus on the Fruit of the Spirit and includes Scripture reading, outdoor activities, songs, discussion questions, crafts, and memory verses designed for the whole family to enjoy together.

 

To help families stay encouraged and connected during the busy summer months, FCC Families are invited to special Summer Challenge Check-In in the courtyard on July 22. This evening will be a fun opportunity to share progress, hear how everyone’s summer is going, and spend time with other FCC families.
