Children’s Ministries
of Riverdale Baptist Church

 

Statistics show that 80% of Christians trusted Christ as their Savior before the age of 14. Every day our children are surrounded by worldly influences that are often in conflict with God’s Word. Through the many exciting programs going on at Riverdale Baptist Church, our children are exposed to the power of the Bible that challenges them and changes their lives!

Jesus places the highest value on the life of a child; they are so precious to Him! We are committed to reaching the next generation for Christ and teaching them to serve Him.

 

 

Sunday Mornings: 3 years to K-5

Kidz Korner is the place for your pre-schooler. Meeting at 9:45 am in grade-appropriate classrooms, these 3-, 4-, and 5-year olds will be greeted by teachers who are enthusiastic and trained to teach your child about Jesus. During both Sunday school (9:45 am) and worship hour (10:45 am), your child will learn basic truths about God's love, caring for others and being thankful. All of these truths are Bible-based and illustrated through various stories. Just call Cathy Bicevskis at 301-249-7001 ext. 152 or email her at cbicevskis@riverdalebaptist.org

 

 

1st to 5th grades

KidzPlace meets at 9:45 am in grade-appropriate classrooms during the Bible Study Hour. This ministry is the foundation of our teaching and discipleship ministry. Your child will build relationships and friendships that will last for eternity. Although we use a traditional curriculum, our textbook is the Bible.

Learning about God's Word in fun and engaging ways is the key to unlocking young minds.

 

 

 

 

 1st to 5th grades

Kidz Konnection meets in the school gym during Sunday morning worship time.  It is kind of like going to summer camp.  Kidz have their own counselor and meet in a tent for a fun activity and story.  There is a Camp Fire time when Mr. Mark teaches from the Bible and tells about his adventures.  Mr. Mark uses all kinds of cool things to teach kidz about God.  He has brought in a bear, a reindeer and even a buffalo!!  At the end we all come together and do crafts and play cool games.
