Children's Classes & Ministries -


Nursery -
The nursery provides a safe and caring environment for children from birth through twenty-seven months for all the scheduled services. The nursery opens fifteen minutes before the service and closes within fifteen minutes after the service. Only a parent may bring and pick-up children (no brothers or sisters please). 

Children are promoted out of the nursery into the Toddler Classes on the first Sunday of the new quarter following the child's second birthday. A parent/guardian should notify the Nursery Director, Sue Goda, if there is a desire to promote the child early or to keep the child in the nursery for another quarter.

SUNDAY SCHOOL

The Sunday School Classes for all ages are part of our plan to ....."teach every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man complete in Christ Jesus." (Colossians 1:28)  Sunday School classes begin at 9:00 AM and are available for all children beginning as young as two years old. The class divisions are as follows:

  • Toddler
  • Ages 4 through Kindergarten
  • 1st through 6th Grade
  • The Master's Class (Special Needs)

A child is promoted out of the Toddler age Sunday School Class on the first Sunday of the new quarter following the child's fourth birthday.  A child is promoted out of the Sunday School Class for Age 4 into the Sunday School Class for Age 5 & Kindergarten on the first Sunday of the new quarter following the child's fifth birthday. Promotion into Kindergarten occurs on the first Sunday in September.

The new quarters begin on the first Sunday of June, September, December and March.  Promotion for students in Grades K -12 normally occur on Promotion Sunday (first Sunday in September) after the student has successfully completed the highest grade level for his/her current Sunday School class.

SUNDAY MORNING PROGRAMS

Toddler Church - PBC believes that even young children can and should learn principles from God's Word. Toddler Church offers a relaxed structured time with singing, play time, stories and Bible lessons which help to reinforce the Sunday School hour.  Toddler Church is for children that are 2-3 years old, and meets for the entire service. Teachers will not release a child until the parents come to get them.
Children are promoted into Children's Church on the first Sunday of the new quarter following the child's fourth birthday.

Children's Church - Children's Church provides an atmosphere with many similarities to the adult service, but because of the short attention spans of children, this program presents Bible lessons in a manner that is interesting, understandable and relevant to children. Throughout the year children learn about various attributes of God, how to live as God's child, Christian character, various aspects to our church, and missionaries. Children's Church also incorporates singing, melody bells, Bible Reading, and memory work.

Children's Church is for children from Age 4 through Grade 1, and meets for the entire Sunday Morning Worship Service in Great Room 1. Children that attend Sunday School will stay in their classroom and be dismissed directly into Children's Church. After the Sunday Morning Worship Service, please come back to the Great Room and pick up your children.

SUNDAY EVENING PROGRAMS 

Nursery & Toddler - See above.

In the Fall of 2011 Plainfield Bible Church will begin a new curriculum for Age 4 through 6th Grade.  We will be using the Word of Life Student Ministries program where the purpose is to communicate biblical content in order to bring about life-changing transformation in the lives of the students.  Doctrine is the foundation for living the Christian life because what we believe determines how we live.  To live a successful Christian life, students need to have a solid grip on basic biblical doctrines.  We're also committed to a biblical model of discipleship with daily devotional journals being utilized in the student's lives to help them grow in their relationship with God.  The class structure is broken down as follows:

Gopher Buddies - For ages 4 through Kindergarten. 

Olympians - For Grades 1 through 6.  The quiet time journals in this age group include:  Challenger (Grades 1 & 2); Conqueror (Grades 3 & 4); and Champion (Grades 5 & 6).
