And, we will talk about Baptism Bash and all that it entails. If kids have already been a part of Baptism Bash, they can share a story or two of their experience and what baptism means to them. We will also talk about how to SHARE our faith with others confidently.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What if my child is in Kindergarten or first Grade?
For the sake of content and conversation, we have designed this group to be at a level where kids are on a similar learning level (reading and writing will be a part of this group). If you would like your kindergartner or first grader to participate in a discipleship group, please click the "Sign Up" button and let the Children's Director know. If there are several K-1st sign ups, we will do another one designed just for them! Otherwise, they are invited to attend a later group.
What if I can't make all three weeks?
No problem! We will review each week's content at the beginning of group to catch everyone up. However, we do highly encourage attendance, as part of this group is connecting with other kids their age.
Why is there an activity page to do at home?
We want kids to get into the practice of spending time with God during the week if they don't already do so. This will encourage that! Also, we want them to remember everything we discussed in group to be ready for the following week. These activities are simply a way for the content to remain fresh on their minds and to set them up best for the week ahead.
Will there be other groups?
Yes! Our plan is to do this more often, specifically the spring and fall.
What if my child wants to get baptized?
We do a baptism event once a year for all elementary kids who want to be baptized. This discipleship group will be the best way to get started with our baptism process as it gives our Children's Director one-on-one time with them and they get to hear about the baptism event this winter. Baptism Bash sign-ups will be available upon the conclusion of this group.
What if my child has already been baptized?
They are still welcome to attend! There will be a lot of time spent on sharing our faith and continually growing in our faith, so they will certainly benefit!
