Our Kid’s & Youth
“Our children and youth are a blessing to us, and we love to share with them in all they do.”
Lynne Hardy, Pastor’s Wife and Children’s Ministry Leader
We truly enjoy having families and children in our intergenerational church and like to
involve them in the service in different ways.
During the Service, our children and Youth are with us for the notices,
open prayer, and Worship. Then they all go out for the Sunday Kids Church lesson when the Sermon begins.
These lessons run for the school terms. During the school holidays there are activity sheets
available to help children reflect on the message of the sermon.
If you would prefer to keep your children with you for the whole service, we have activity
sheets and clip boards with reflection sheets to help them focus on the bible message.
“Don’t worry about it! We love to hear their voices! It brings us joy whenever we hear the kids are in church with us.”
Hesta & Chris, Our most senior members 80+ years of age
At Beaches Baptist Church, our children and Youth are a vital part of our
intergenerational church and we believe that when families come to church,
they shouldn’t have to worry about interrupting the Sermons.
The members of our church all have had their own children in the church
and know the struggle it can be sometimes.
So, don’t worry… It brings them joy simply to have children at church
because they know it is important to you, and it is important to them too.
This is some of the work from our Children who are currently enjoying a unit called, ‘The Amazing King’, focusing on the friendship between Jesus and Peter.
GROWING KIDS WITH FUN BIBLE LESSONS & GAMES
> KIDS AT CHURCH
If you are brining your children or teenagers then we love to have them. We truly enjoy having families and children in our intergenerational church, the joy it give us brings a whole lot of life as we walk alongside them.
> CHILDREN AND YOUTH FAITH PROGRAM
Currently we are working our way through a program from Mustard Seeds Ministry that
caters for different age groups and includes bible stories with active games, quizzes and
memory verse activities to engage the children and help them enjoy the sessions. We value question and discussion time as this helps children understand the Bible story and apply God’s word to their everyday lives.
This year we began in Genesis with the Beginning of Creation by God, and are going
through to Abraham, Isaac, Joseph and Moses. We will soon begin a new series about
Jesus, the servant King, who is trustworthy, all-powerful and mercifully forgiving.
A SAFE PLACE FOR YOUR CHILDREN & TEENS
> CHILDSAFE PRACTICES
Our children’s church ministry leaders are all trained in keeping your children safe throughout the church service and commit ourselves to ChildSafe practices. All of our team that serve in children and youth ministry must be able to apply for a Bluecard (we can help with this) or have one already, and must do the Mandatory ChildSafe Training each year with Beaches Baptist Church.
> OUR CURRENT GROUP
Currently we have a small group ranging from Grade 5 – High School, but we have had larger groups in the past with up to 30 kids! We are praying that God will grow our Kids and Youth Ministry.
> CONNECTION CARD
If you are new to our church you are welcome to touch base with us before you arrive and we’ll be sure to meet you. To do this, just fill out our CONNECT CARD so we can be sure to meet you introduce yourselves to your family.
