 Children
are an important part of the congregational life here at
Franklin Park. We are a multi-generational
church, that means we love children in all parts of
church life. It also means we have a ready stock of
grandparents and great-grandparent figures to share the
love of Christ and the love of life with your children.
From the "candy man" who has a piece of candy for each
child every Sunday morning, to the loving nursery
workers and Sunday School teachers, children are an
important part of life at Franklin Park Baptist Church.
We love babies! There is always a place for
babies here. There is a nursery during Sunday School and
Church. Some parents choose to keep babies with them
during church, which is also fine, but we ask parents to
be considerate of other worshippers. Crying babies are
distracting, but so are cute babies!
 The
most important things that a child learns is to love
Jesus and to know that Jesus loves them. Loving Sunday
School teachers really get to know your child. During
our morning worship service there is a time when the
children are invited to the front of the sanctuary to
participate in the children's message. After the message,
preschoolers and younger, are invited to Kid's Time, a
supervised time of fun.
In Sunday School children are learning not only that
Jesus loves them, but how to respond to that love.
Through music and stories, crafts and an encouraging
relationship with Sunday School teachers children have
the opportunity to grow in grace and their relationship
with Jesus Christ. School age children begin the worship
with their families, are involved with the children's
message and leave during the adult message for an age
appropriate activities. |
