MINISTRY
At 2BC we strive to partner with parents to build a firm foundation of faith in their children. We believe that children are part of God’s kingdom and as such their spiritual development is critical in the early years. We want kids to know, love, and follow Christ will all of their hearts. We seek to do this in a safe and loving environment. All of our teachers are trained, screened, and ready to share God’s love with your children.
Sunday School
Sunday School @ 9:45am – We offer small age-graded groups for children using the Lifeway curriculum from Birth through 5th Grade.
Worship
At 2BC we value children and their ability to worship. The kids worship in community with the adults beginning at four years of age. We believe children learn how to worship by following the example of those around them. Whenever possible children are encouraged to lead in worship by assisting with scripture reading, singing, and helping with other elements of worship as needed. Wee Worship is a unique opportunity for kids up to 1st grade to go to a special area in the worship service and color or play quietly while still being apart of the worship community.
ETC
This stands for Extended Teaching Care. This service is available for preschoolers from Birth through 3 years of age during the Worship
Service. This time is an extended teaching time of the Sunday School hour. This is held in the Preschool area of 2BC.
Childcare
Childcare is available for all services except for the Christmas Eve Service.
