Sunday School
We believe children can learn and experience God's love at all stages of their life. That's why we offer Sunday School classes for infants on up to 12th grade. We have many dedicated Sunday School teachers who have a heart for children. It is our goal to teach your child God's Word, apply it to their lives, encourage them to look up and memorize scripture, and connect with other people of the church of all ages.

First Family Dinner
First Family Dinner is
our Wednesday night church-wide fellowship and discipleship event for all ages. We gather for dinner at 5:30 p.m. in the Heritage Room. We have a short
worship time, then we split into the following groups:
Children's Bible Study
Children's Bible Study is for all children in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. It is held every Wednesday during the school year and lasts from 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. in Room E202. Bring your Bible. Friends are welcome to come!
Wednesday Night Bible Club
The Wednesday Night Bible Club is for children in Kindergarten - 3rd Grade. It will give the children a fun, hands-on way of experiencing Bible stories. It is held every Wednesday during the school year and lasts from 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. in Room E213.
Sprouts
The Sprouts are our smallest disciples that are 4 years old and under. Besides play time, they will have a Bible story and activity. It is held every Wednesday during the school year and lasts from 6:30 p.m.- 7:30 p.m. in Room E212.
Confirmation
Confirmation is the year-long process for 6th graders to become members of the church. On Confirmation Sunday, our Confirmands make their formal commitment to Christ. Confirmands learn about church history, the basics of Christianity, and the history of Methodism. They also visit other denominations and do service projects. Confirmation meets at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings in Room E212.

Family Night
Come experience a Bible
story with your family in a new way! Our Family Night events are designed
to help parents lead their children in spiritual development. We meet for
dinner at 5:00 p.m. in the Heritage Room. Families then read the Bible
Story together and then go from room to room to experience the Bible story in different
ways.
Children's Worship Festival
The Children’s
Worship Festival is a service entirely geared towards children. This service happens once a year in September. Dress comfortably and bring a
friend! Children are invited to sit on the floor in the front of the sanctuary.
Pray & Play
Pray & Play is our
monthly program for children age 1 - 4 years old. We play in the gym or
on the playground, have crafts, snacks, and a Bible story. Parents must
stay. Pray & Play is usually the second Saturday of the month from
9:00 - 11:00 a.m.
Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School 2023 is scheduled for July 31st - August 3rd. It is for children ages 4 years old - completed 5th grade. Our theme for VBS 2023 is Thy Kingdom Come. The program runs Monday - Thursday, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
Check out our VBS promo video HERE.
Children in Worship
We want children in
worship! From infant on up, children are welcome in our worship services. Children learn to worship by watching their parents and grandparents. We understand that children may fidget and make noise from time to time. We know adults that do that too! We have a children's sermon at
each service except on Communion Sunday. Worship activity books are
available at each service.
Baptism
Through baptism we are initiated into the Body of Christ. Our primary means of baptism is through sprinkling; however, we both recognize and offer any form of baptism a parent desires for their child. If you are interested in having your child baptized, contact Pastor Rick at rick@fmcbryan.org.
