Kids | Underwood Baptist Church

At Underwood Baptist Church we believe that children are a precious treasure from God. Our programs, activities and events are designed to teach boys and girls that God loves them and has an exciting plan for their lives. The children’s department offers a variety of activities for children of all ages to get involved in throughout the year, including: Little Lambs Bible Club, Bible Drill, Vacation Bible School, Kid’s Kamp, road trips, and much more. Click around our website and feel free to contact us with any questions.

Whether you choose to experience Underwood Baptist Church online or in person, there's something for you!

 If you attend in person, our friendly VIP host will show you where our Kids Check-In is when you arrive. We will meet your family, check your child into class, and answer any questions you may have. We can't wait to meet you!

 If you attend online, you'll find that Underwood Baptist Church services are family friendly. Your kids will love the upbeat worship, easy to understand preaching, and fun service elements. Plus, scroll down on this page to find online resources for families.

The Preschool Department opens 15 minutes before each service (Sundays at 8:15 am & 5:45 pm, and Wednesdays at 6:15 pm). Each time a preschooler is brought into one of our classrooms, he/she is involved in a well-planned, Christ-centered teaching program taught on his/her level of understanding. A Biblical foundation is laid through teaching your child about God, Jesus, the Bible, the church, self, others, family, and the natural world. Our Preschool classrooms sometimes hum with quiet activity. Sometimes they are loud and boisterous. But, that is ok! There’s learning going on!

We have teachers who are carefully screened for our classrooms. For security, two teachers are assigned to each room. Our teachers are here to invest their love and time in the life of your preschoolers.

Our ministry looks forward to partnering with you to teach your child. As partners, the home and church can build spiritual foundations that will last forever.

At Underwood Baptist Church we have very high standards for teaching and caring for babies and young preschoolers. We know that so much spiritual development can take place during the very young years. Some of the ways we seek to maintain quality involve:

• An emphasis on teaching and not just “babysitting”.

• Every time we meet, every child hears about Jesus.

• Security procedures for leaving and picking up preschoolers, and use of text messaging for quick notification of parents when needed.

• Policies and procedures for cleanliness. A clean room with clean toys and equipment is one way of saying “you are important” to a child.

• Providing Bible teaching material for all Sunday School teachers of preschoolers. Parents are given material to use at home to provide Biblical teaching for their child.

SUNDAY SCHOOL

K-6th grade at 9:45 am

This small group time provides an excellent opportunity for kids to develop their faith among friends within their age group. All teachers are screened and do an excellent job mentoring children while challenging them to dig deeper in their personal relationship with God.

CHILDREN'S CHURCH
1ST-6TH grade at 8:30 am

Children’s church provides a fun time of building foundational truths in the lives of children. Crafts, music, games and more are all incorporated into this large group time.

Jesus said, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” Mark 10:14b-15

It is always exciting when a child makes a decision to follow Christ. At Underwood, we take that decision of faith seriously and want our children to walk confidently with God from the moment they make a decision and throughout the rest of their lives.

Growing with God is a three week course designed for children who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. The children talk about sin, learning to grow in Christ, reading the Bible and how to share their faith with others. You can contact the church office if you would like for your child to get involved in this class.
