As we all know, there are a lot of firsts in the beginning of a child's life ... the first smile, first laugh to crawling, and first steps. These, among others are monumental moments in the child and the parent's life. At Tri-City Baptist Church, we also know that there are firsts that we want every child to know ...
God Created Them God Loves Them Jesus wants to be their friend forever
We also strive to assure parents that their child is well taken care of with trained volunteers, a secure check-in system and facilities, and a structured setting in each program provided. Childcare is always available with every regular service no matter what time of year for ages birth thru 4 years old. We make it our goal to assist parents in raising their child in the light of the Gospel from these earliest moments.
Waumba Land (Sunday mornings, 9am. - 10:15am./birth thru 4 year olds - Birkhead Lobby)
Waumba is the Swahili word for Creator. In Waumba Land, your child will focus and learn about one key truth each month such as salvation, faith, love, obedience, and prayer. Each truth is taught using the 5 senses which helps a child learn best. We also give parents a weekly outline of what is learned every Sunday so they can take it home and continue the learning all week long.
First Looks (Sunday mornings, 10:30am. - 12:00pm./birth thru 4 year olds - Birkhead Lobby)
This is a continued program from Waumba Land to help reinforce each truth being taught. Your child will participate in a large group Bible time with worship, Scripture memory, and lesson. From there, they break into smaller groups for activities and one-on-one time. Our goals each week are to make every truth fun, true, real, and stick.
God's Kids (Sunday evenings, 6:30pm. - 8:00pm./3 year olds thru 5th grade - Birkhead Auditorium)
This musical program is part of our Life University each fall and spring which is led by some of our choir members. Your child will start off with a lesson time each week in the Birkhead Auditorium, and then break into smaller groups based upon age. They will learn about music and drama, and then present what they've learned in Sunday morning worship.
AWANA Puggles & Cubbies (Wednesday evenings, 6:30pm. - 8pm./2 year olds thru 4 year olds - Birkhead Auditorium)
These two programs teach simple lessons through activities, music, and more! Children work together by learning the same Scripture memory every week with awards given at different stages. Little details like t-shirts, vests, puzzles, coloring books, and game time makes a child feel like part of the group. Parents can also be a part by using the take-home cards to reinforce the concepts learned in club time and also for ideas in pointing out God every day.
MOPS & Moppets (3rd Wednesday of every month, 9:30am. - 11:30am./birth thru K5 - TCBC Office Reception Area)
