FOUNTAIN KIDS
Welcome to Fountain Vineyard Children’s Ministry!! We’re so glad that you have joined us today and we trust that your child enjoyed their morning with us. At FVCF we see children as a priority and so everything we do is intentional. We are helping to ground the children with a love for the Word of God, and also aim at pointing them to the experience of loving the God of the Word.
We have age-specific groups to cater for the needs, learning and interests of various age children, ranging right from babies until teens. This allows us to teach children at their specific levels and give them opportunities to engage with Jesus. We run 3 various programmes during our Sunday morning services:
1. Our Toddlers Programme (18months to 3 years old) simply teaches the Bible through a short Bible story, music, instruments, activities, crafts and play. This runs from the end of Adult Worship until the end of the church service. Parents are free to stay with their children or to leave them in our care and enjoy the service.
2. Our Junior Programme (4 years old to grade 6) starts at 9am in our Kids’ Ministry Area. We have a game, kids’ worship, a Bible teaching video, and small group time. This runs for the duration of the church service. We have a fantastic Bible-based curriculum called the “Gospel Project” which helps us journey through the entire Bible. If your child is with us throughout Preschool and Primary School, they will have gone through the Bible 3 times by the time they reach High School. This material is so rich! It allows kids to engage with the content through activities and ultimately experience the God of the Bible.
3. Our Senior Programme (grade 7-9) a.k.a. Teen Church, starts with the teens in the Main Church Service for worship – we have reserved seating for Teen Church at the back left of the building in front of the coffee shop, along with their Leaders. Following worship, the teens go upstairs where they will engage in topical discussions within a Biblical framework.
Once a month, the church celebrates Communion together as a Church Family. On these Sundays, we encourage children to sit together with their parents from the start of the church service, and share in Worship and Communion together with their families. Following Communion, the children will be released to Kids’ Ministry Time. Yes, our children can be noisy and distracting, but the opportunity of worshipping together and modelling worship for our kids is worth it! We encourage you to participate with us for this time.
