Helping Kids Know Jesus & Grow in Faith

Kindergarten - 5th Grade | Sundays at 8:00am, 9:30am, & 11:15am

Our Focus

Three Ways We Want Every Child to Grow

The Bayou Kids Ministry, for kindergarten through 5th grade, exists to cultivate growth in three areas for every child.

Be a Disciple

Someone who knows and follows Jesus

Kids will know God by building a strong foundation for a love of our Lord, learning Biblical truth, and developing a God-centered vision of life.

Be a Friend

Someone who loves, shares, and includes others

Kids will find community in age-appropriate small groups with consistent leaders who teach and model how Jesus loves and how they can love others.

Be a Helper

Someone who helps others and serves with God's love

Kids will learn how to make a difference by discovering who they are in Christ and how God has uniquely called them to serve His Kingdom.

What We Do

Three Ways We Help Kids Grow in Their Faith

Bayou Kids provides safe, age-appropriate environments where children in kindergarten through 5th grade can learn about Jesus in a way they can understand. Through engaging teaching, meaningful relationships, and interactive activities, kids discover God's truth and how it applies to their everyday lives.

  • Bible Teaching - Creative, relevant lessons that help kids understand God's Word and build a strong foundation of faith.
  • Age-Based Environments - Kids learn alongside peers in grade-specific groups (K-1st, 2nd-3rd, and 4th-5th) so lessons and discussions are tailored to their stage of development.
  • Interactive Activities - Games, worship, small-group discussions, and hands-on activities help kids engage with each week's lesson and take their faith beyond Sunday.
First-Time Visiting

Make a Plan to Join Us on Sunday

We make check-in easy and safe. Here is what to expect.

1

Arrive at Check-In

When you arrive, head to the Kids Check-In counter located near the main entrance. You will be greeted by a friendly team member who will walk you through the entire process: no stress, no guesswork. If it is your first time, we will get you set up in our system so future visits are even easier.

2

Check In via Kiosk

Use one of our Church Center kiosks right at the counter to check in your child. You can also save time by pre-checking in from home using the free Church Center app on your phone. Either way, the process only takes a moment and ensures your child is securely registered for the morning.

3

Pick Up & Go

Once checked in, you will receive a name tag for your child and a matching security tag for you. Our team will walk you to your child's classroom and introduce you to the volunteers. When service is over, simply show your security tag at pickup. It is that easy.

Our Goals

What Your Kids Can Expect

Here is what you can expect your kids to get from Kids Ministry.

Provoke Discovery

Provoke Discovery

Our 252 Strategy provokes discovery and invites children to a new understanding of how to grow in relationship with Jesus. It is organized around key Bible stories that help kids discover Jesus and reflect His character to the world. Hands-on activities, high-energy games, new friends and encouraging words from the time they walk through the doors until they leave create an excitement to return each week!

Provide Community

Provide Community

Age-graded small groups are designed to support a safe environment with consistent leaders who engage children to trust God's character and live out God's story by loving and serving others. You can trust that our staff and volunteers serve because they love being with kids and are called by God to this ministry. Every volunteer is screened with a national background check, trained in child protection guidelines, and trained in their area of ministry.

Partner With Parents

Partner With Parents

We want to partner with YOU! Take-home resources assist parents in continuing the Sunday morning experience at home throughout the week. We also encourage parents to get social with us on Facebook to stay updated and inspired by providing additional resources and sharing relevant topics.

Inclusion Room
A Place for Every Family

Inclusion Room

We know Sunday mornings can feel challenging for families of kids with special needs, and we want to help you worship with confidence and peace of mind.

During the 11:15am service, our Inclusion Room in the Preschool Ministry area offers a welcoming space where parents can watch a live simulcast while children enjoy one of two adjoining sensory rooms staffed by trained volunteers.

Our heart is to provide care that helps your whole family feel safe, supported, and included.
