Children's Ministry

Sundays at 9:35 a.m.

During our weekly Sunday School time children are given the opportunity to grow in their understanding of God as they study the Bible in age appropriate ways through hands-on activities and intentional life-application discussion.  We currently utilize the Gospel Project, a Christ-centered, chronological Bible study for our 1st-6th graders.

Wednesdays at 6:15 p.m.

Our Children’s Choir is named, “Treble Makers”.  At VBC Treble Makers include children from 1st through 6th grade.  The Treble Makers sing during a Christmas program in December and during an end-of-year program in May; these programs are on Wednesday evenings around 6:30 p.m..  Treble Makers also have the opportunity to lead in worship on Sunday mornings throughout the year.

Treble Makers have access to a wide variety of rhythm instruments, resonator bells, Boomwhackers, and Orff instruments.  They also use choir chimes and handbells.  The choir will sing with both recordings and piano accompaniment.  Musical concepts and singing skills are taught in both small group and large group settings.  The Treble Makers build on the foundation of the preschool choir by adding more difficult rhythms, singing in parts, music reading, and performance skills.  Age-appropriate spiritual concepts are woven into our teachings as we discuss the words we are singing.

Treble Makers include not only the children of our Vineville Baptist families, but also children whose families do not have a church home or whose church home is not able to provide a graded choir program.  Visitors are always welcome!

Periodically 

At various times throughout the year our children and their families are invited to participate in a variety of mission projects and learn about missionaries around the world.  Through these experiences, they are learning to embody the truth that it is more meaningful to give than to receive.  Our activities encourage a life-long commitment to learning scripture, praying, giving, and serving others.  

Our family style VBS is a blast!  We loved having the families of 3 year olds – completed 5th graders join us for an incredible time of learning that we can trust God no matter what challenges we face in life.  Camp Firelight invited us to put our trust in God in every situation, including during times when we might be afraid.

This year, families had a blast at Camp Firelight as they learned to face their fears while trusting in God.
– Campers discovered that even as we face fear of the unknown and the possibilities of aloneness like Jacob, we can put our trust in God to go with us on the journeys to where God leads us.
– Through the story of Ruth choosing to go with Naomi and follow her back to Bethlehem, campers were invited to ponder the ways we can trust and see God leading in our own lives and in the lives of others.
– Campers were invited to consider how we, like young Jesus, can both begin the journey of pursuing God’s wisdom and trust God to share wisdom that will go with us throughout our lives.
– Through the story of Jesus calming the storm and bringing peace to his disciples, campers learned that, like Jesus, we all can ask God for peace during the storms that crash against our lives and know that God is with us through it all.
– Campers were invited to consider how, like Philip, we can respond to God’s love and grace ourselves, how we can share it with others, and how we can trust God to spark joy in our lives as we live out this key part of our own discipleship.

We would love to welcome you as our guest!  Our preschoolers (babies-Kindergarten) and children (1st-5th) meet on the first floor of our Sammons Building.  We encourage you to park in our Pierce parking lot and enter our building via the door closest to Pierce Avenue.  Preschool families will check in using nametags that have an accompanying parent pick-up tag.  This helps us ensure preschoolers are only dismissed to an approved adult.  Parents will check their children in with the teachers at their respective classes.  These teachers will bring the children to the Guest Reception area for pick-up prior to worship.

When you arrive in the building our amazing volunteers would welcome the opportunity to personally usher you to your classes!
