Children + Teen Program

There's Something for Everyone

While mom and dad are soaking in the rich teaching and presentations of our featured speakers and missions organizations each day, kids and teens aged 0-17 can participate in programming designed specifically for them . Our staff is passionate about helping kids meet God in new and fresh ways through VBS and youth-camp style programs that include group teaching times, small group discussions, age-appropriate worship times and fun on-campus activities .

Expand All | Collapse All

Nursery

0-18MO

Your newborn is in good hands with our caring staff in the nursery. No need to worry if they need to go down for a nap during the service – we have a dark, quiet room just for that. Location: FLC – Huron

 

Toddlers

TODDLERS: 18MO – 3 YRS

If your child is walking and talking, they’ll fit perfectly in our Toddlers class. They’ll participate in games and Bible-learning activities inside, and move and wiggle around on the playground outside. Location: FLC – Ontario Room

 

Preschool

3 YRS – KINDERGARTEN (Must be potty-trained)

This class is for children aged  3 years – Kindergarten who have been potty trained. Your child will learn songs, dive into age-appropriate Bible stories, and get their wiggles out with fun indoor and outdoor games. Location: FLC – Erie Room

Lower Elementary

ENTERING 1ST – 3RD GRADE

If your child is entering 1st – 3rd grade, they belong here. The engaging program will lead your child through group worship, craft and snack times, interactive Bible stories, memory verses, and of course, recreation time with the staff! Location: FLC – Michigan East Room

Upper Elementary

ENTERING 4TH – 6TH GRADE

For children entering 4th-6th grade, this class is designed for them to take a deeper look into God’s word while creating valuable connections with the staff and their classmates! Your child will engage in group worship, craft and snack time, Bible learning, and games galore.  *If you have a sixth grader, we let you as parents decide which class better suits them. Location: FLC – Michigan West Room

Teens

ENTERING 6TH – 12TH Large-group activities all together, small groups divided by middle school and high school.*

This program is for young men and women entering 6th-12th grade. Don’t worry about the age gap; though large group activities are done together, the intentional discussions and small group time are divided into middle school-age and high school-age. Preteens and teens in this program will interact with staff, engage in prayer and worship times, look with a Biblical lens into issues relevant to their age group, and learn crazy new games (just ask anyone about Kiddie Pool Kickball). *If you have a sixth grader, we let you as parents decide which class better suits them. Location – Lebanon
