Children/Youth Ministries

 Our church's Children and Youth Ministry has a theme to promote unity and growth:

Our nursery at Monuments Baptist Church is a warm, welcoming place for anyone who comes to feel safe leaving their child with us, so they may enjoy the service.  Our nursery is cleaned after every service.  Our workers are members, have had background checks, and are well known to us.  We treat every child with love and want their experience to be as nice as possible.  We hope that every parent feels 100% safe leaving their child with us and they know that their child will be loved and taught about God and His love.

Zac's Friends (Preschool 3-4 years)

Teaching our children about Him...and other  Bible characters, like Zacchaeus, along the way!

Our preschool at Monuments Baptist Church is a warm, welcoming place for anyone who comes to feel safe leaving their child with us, so they may enjoy the service.  Our preschool is cleaned after every service.  Our workers are members, have had background checks, and are well known to us.  We treat every child with love and want their experience to be as nice as possible.  We hope that every parent feels 100% safe leaving their child with us and they know that their child will be loved and taught about God and His love.

Radical Roots (K-5th Grade)

Feeding those roots, so our children grow strong in faith.

Sunday School

At this time, we currently group Kindergarteners in with either the preschoolers or the 1-3rd grade class, depending on a decision made between parent/guardian and the teachers. All ages are taught using FaithWeaver material.

We have seperated the 1-5th graders into boys and girls for Sunday School. Children do better grouped this way for behavior and the numbers come out more evenly. Our Girl class is taught by Pam Shouse and our Boy class is taught by Robin Wooten.  

As we grow, we will add more classes to this K-5th grade group.

Children's Church

Instead of children sitting in the adult worship service, we offer Children’s Church.  This program allows children to learn about God and His love on their own level and with crafts and games built in.  The program teaches them in a way that prepares them for worship.  By the time the children reach 5th grade they are ready to exit Children’s Church and enter the main worship service.  Our Children’s Church is taught by rotating teachers and co-ordinated by Cathy Pence, the pastor’s wife.  Each week the teacher has a Children’s Department worker helping.  All workers are background checked.  

Wednesdays 

On Wednesday evenings children can learn about God through games, songs, Bible lessons, and movies. Pam Shouse and Wilma Phillips teach the K-5th graders on Wednesday evenings. This prepares the children for the youth department that they enter in 6th grade.

Swinging Vines (6th - 12th Grade)

Teaching our youth to spread the faith to others.

Our youth department is directed by Tim Pence. The youth meet on Sunday mornings for Sunday School, on Wednesday evenings for Bible Study, and various times throughout the year to join in youth activities.
