children

We believe that every part of our ministry is important.

guiding children to jesus

Our goal is to make church a safe and nurturing environment where children are accepted and loved.
The Children’s Ministry at Fairview Baptist Church covers the entire scope of a child’s life from birth to fifth grade. We offer KIDZ LIFE Groups, Choir and Missions classes. We want to guide children to a knowledge and understanding of who Jesus is, to lead them toward a relationship with God and to learn how to live for Jesus in their everyday lives outside of church. We also provide a Mother’s Day Out program through our Child Development Center (C.D.C.) for children age 15 months to 4 years. This allows mothers to have some time away on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the school year and gives us an opportunity for our church to minister to
children and families in our community.

Preschool Birth - Kindergarten

It is a privilege and a joy to serve families and to teach preschoolers, from birth through Kindergarten, about the love of Jesus Christ.

Fairview Baptist Church strives to provide a safe and nurturing environment where your preschooler will be loved.

We will encourage a love for God’s Word and a desire to relate to God through the Bible, prayer, and praise. We will teach preschoolers that sharing God’s love with others is important. We will view each preschooler, and help them view themselves, as a special and unique creation of God loved unconditionally by Him.

We will strive to ensure sound Biblical teaching through Godly role models as teachers. We will train children to work well with others by being obedient and demonstrating gentleness, kindness, and self-control. We will provide enjoyable activities that give preschoolers opportunities for developing friendships with other preschoolers and adults. Fairview Baptist Church offers Extended Session during worship services for preschoolers from birth through 3 years of age.

Three’s and under will remain in Extended Session for the church year.

WOrship kidstyle DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR

We are excited to offer Worship Kidstyle during the morning Worship time for children in PreK4 and K5, this includes children who are currently in the 4 year old LIFE Group class and those who are currently in the 5 year old/Kindergarten LIFE Group class. Worship Kidstyle brings Bible stories to life with high-energy, child centered and God-focused worship. Please make sure that your child has a printed label from the Preschool Welcome Center computers before sending them to Worship Kidstyle. Children are prompted in the Worship service when it is time for them to leave the service.

Child Development Center

The Mother’s Day Out Program

is designed and initiated by our church to provide a safe and happy place for children to go while mothers have some time away. It is an opportunity for our church to minister to children and families in our community.
The Child Development Center exists to assist parents in their important responsibility of molding and guiding their children as they grow and develop. The Center joins with parents to provide foundational teaching on which later development is built. We believe that children are a precious gift from God, and entrusted to us to love and teach.
We recognize that children learn and develop faster during these first years than at any other time during the life span. It is our goal to make these first experiences at learning safe, fun, and happy times. We strive to develop the whole child by providing opportunities for them to develop mentally, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. Our curriculum is the Southern Baptist Wee Learn Curriculum. The curriculum introduces the children to different unit studies with learning through play. We provide these opportunities throughout the day with:

GROUP LIVING

planning, working, and playing in an organized manner so that desirable habits and attitudes of independence and responsibility are formed.

CREATIVE ACTIVITIES

self-expression is encouraged through the use of paints, play dough, crayons, manual tools, and other materials.

LANGUAGE AND MATH EXPERIENCES

through the use of stories, conversations, games, and puzzles, your child will grow in knowledge and understanding of basic concepts.

RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCES

Bible thoughts, concepts, and Bible related activities will be interwoven throughout the day in natural settings that will be meaningful to your child on his or her level of understanding.
