Early Childhood (Birth-Kindergarten)
The Early Childhood Ministry of Open Bible Christian Center offers a safe, loving environment for children ages six weeks through Kindergarten. Our purpose is to partner with parents in the training of their children by teaching children God's Word and helping our little ones experience the love of Jesus each time they enter our doors. Our prayer is that the children in our care will develop a strong and lasting personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, "Let the little children come unto me and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark 10:14
We believe that children are never too young to learn about God. We know that what we say and do with them has an everlasting impact. Our methods of teaching in the Early Childhood Department allow children to move, touch, experiment and investigate the awesome world the Lord has created.
Nursery is geared toward helping infants through two-year-olds begin a personal relationship with Jesus as their physical needs are met as well. Ministry takes place to our youngest students through music, sensory play and fellowship.
Little Church is geared toward helping children develop their personal and growing relationship with Jesus. Children hear Bible stories, attend worship, and learn to apply Biblical truths to their own lives. Children learn the basics of discipleship – Bible reading, prayer, praising, tithing, sharing their faith and loving others.
Nursery and Little Church are offered at both weekend praise services and at the Wednesday evening Christian Education service.
