Elementary School Ministry: K – 5th Grade

The Elementary School Ministry of Johns Creek Baptist Church aims to help our grade school children know and experience the love of Christ in ways they can grasp and understand. We want our grade school children to know they matter to God, they can use their gifts and talents to praise God and serve others, and we want them to know and understand that the church is a group of people who not only love Jesus, but love them and seek to encourage them in their walk towards and with Christ. Our overall hope in JCBCKids is that the steps a child makes towards Christ in their early years will equip them to be faithful followers of Christ as they grow!

We accomplish these goals in a variety of ways and through a variety of programming, including, but not limited to Sunday School, Children’s Worship (K-2nd) and encouraging our 3rd-5th grade children to worship alongside their family and our church family in the sanctuary. We also provide many opportunities for connection outside of Sunday mornings including a special program called “That’s My Friend: Community Building for 2nd-5th Graders” and other special events like VBS or summer fun activities. However, one of the most important ways we encourage our grade school children to grow towards and with Jesus is by partnering alongside parents and helping provide opportunities for faith conversations at home. We’d love for your grade school child to join us as we seek to make steps towards Jesus!

Sundays at JCBC:

We encourage kids and families of all ages to be part of both Sunday School (9:30) and Worship (11:00). Sunday School provides age-appropriate small group environment for kids to build relationships with God and others through interactive lessons, games, and activities.

Our Children’s Worship time is for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade children. Our goal with this special programming is guide our children in understanding why we worship. As a part of this, we want to expose them to the parts of worship and help them experience ways to reflect and respond during worship.

Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade children join their families upstairs for worship alongside our church family in the sanctuary. By worshipping alongside others, our older children experience community and belonging. This experience alongside older youth and adults impacts children in deeply spiritual ways. We believe children belong in the larger community of faith and worship. We have a children’s worship station outside the sanctuary that provides resources and tools for your child to focus, reflect, and respond during the worship hour – feel free to stop by! We look forward to seeing you on Sunday as we journey towards Christ together.
