Florence KIDS

Florence KIDS serves children from birth – 5th grade.

Children are very important to us at FMC. We offer a variety of activities and experiences to assist children in their spiritual journey. Activities are designed to promote fun and fellowship, but most of all spiritual growth. We are committed to providing a spiritual foundation that will guide children on their faith journey; helping them to grow in their faith and in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Preschool & Elementary Students

Sunday School
Each Sunday, children who are three years old through 5th grade are invited to Sunday School which takes place between our Sunday morning worship services, from 10:10-10:50 am. Sunday School classes are arranged by age/grade and all classes spend time learning through a story, craft and/or activity. The curriculum is designed for a variety of learning styles to help children experience the Bible in ways they can understand.

Toddlers (18 months to 2 yrs) meet in the Nursery on Sunday mornings, but also participate in Sunday School activities. These include a Bible Story, an active game, a snack, arts and crafts, and songs of praise.

Wednesday Word Kids
During special multi-week sessions throughout the school year, Bible Study for children is offered for children. These programs provide an age-appropriate, interactive study of God’s word through music, games, crafts, and fellowship.

4/5 Fridays
On the first Friday of each month, 4th and 5th graders come together for fun & games in a variety of indoor and outdoor events and outings. For specific monthly details, be sure to reach out to Pastor Anna.

Acolytes
Being an acolyte is a wonderful way for children to serve their church. This important part of the worship service is an opportunity for 3rd graders and up to participate in the worship service. To become an acolyte, the child will attend a brief training when they are ready to serve.
