Children's Education Ministry
Sunday School 9:00-10:00 aM
In-person Sunday school meets at 9:00-10:00 a.m. during the school year for preschool-1st grade (room 010), and grades 2-5 (room 007) in the parking lot level classrooms. Each room has a HEPA air filter. Masking is optional for teachers and children.
We are blessed to have wonderful Sunday School teachers who make bible stories come alive as they get to know each child. We hope children will feel at home, ask questions, and grow in their knowledge and love of God. Preschool and elementary classes use Sparkhouse’s “Spark” curriculum.
Worship 10:30 aM
Wiggly children of all ages are invited to participate in worship in the sanctuary at 10:30-11:30 a.m.. Children are invited to come to the front of the sanctuary early in the service for an age-appropriate message, after which they may return to their pew or young children may go to the nursery.
Children’s bulletins are available near the sanctuary doors. Children’s books, worship activity bags, and visual schedules are available in the narthex located just outside the sanctuary. Feel free to use these resources during worship and return them after the service.
BPC has a sensory room called the Calm Corner. This space is located behind the door near the cookie table in the Gathering Space. The room has multisensory equipment to provide support for children or adults who need a calm space before, during, or after worship. Children and youth must be accompanied by an adult.
Nursery & God's Garden
Nursery care is offered at 9:00 a.m. during Sunday school during the school year, and year-round during worship at 10:30-11:30 a.m. for babies up to age 3. Please fill sign-in children in the nursery.
God’s Garden welcomes preschoolers and Kindergarteners for a time of nurture and supervised play during worship after the children’s message (around 10:40 am). Please sign-in each child.
The nursery and preschool rooms can be found downstairs next to the elevator, or by entering from the parking lot door and turning left.
Two adults, who have passed a background check, provide care in rooms with HEPA air filters.
