Family Farm Hangout
October 20, 2024
Weekend worship services combine large-group teaching and worship with small-group connection and application time. We don’t just want to have a place for parents to drop off their kids, we want to provide an awesome, safe experience that helps kids meet Jesus, grow in their faith, connect with other kids, and have a total blast doing it!
If you plan to visit for the first time then we invite you to Plan Your Visit to save time on check in and let us know you’re coming so we can roll out the red carpet when you arrive!
During The Way of Jesus series, our goal is for every person—adult and child—to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do as Jesus did. These transformations take time, intention, and repetition. To support this journey, we’ve created a Family Guide that aligns with the adult version we’re exploring as a church.
At First Church we believe that grace, love, and relationship with Jesus is for everyone, regardless of their abilities! Because of this, we want to make sure that we provide opportunities and environments for those with Special Needs to Know, Worship, and Serve Jesus too.
At the elementary level we accomplish this as much as possible through inclusion. At the 9:30AM hour, at each of our locations, we have “Buddies” who serve as helpers to kids with special needs. Buddies make it possible for parents/guardians to attend service while their child with special needs is being loved in a safe environment and learning about Jesus in a developmentally appropriate way. We also have a sensory room at each of our campuses to help provide a safe and inviting environment for special needs kids who need extra attention or who have a more difficult time integrating with the whole group.
Every fifth Sunday of the month, we discuss baptism and what that means with the kids. If your child is interested in being baptized, please let us know!
This app cues you to have simple and meaningful faith-moments with your kid that will fit seamlessly into the daily rhythm of your life. You can also see what we’re discussing during weekend services and access video teaching!
