CHILDREN

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14


Children are a gift from the Lord and at Fluvanna Community Church we rejoice in the blessing of having many families with kids!  The Bible clearly tells us that parents are the primary disciple-makers in the lives of their children, and the church’s job is to come along aside them to encourage and equip them to train up their children in the love of Jesus Christ.

Each Sunday our teachers are ready to pour into the lives of kids and their parents in age-specific ways.  From Sunday School to Children’s Church to VBS and special events, each ministry is focused on the Gospel, both taught and applied.

We have worked hard to create safe and joyful learning environments for our children.  As we continue to grow, classes fluctuate in size and children graduate from class to class.  Currently we offer a preschool class, kindergarten - 2nd, 3rd - 6th, and 7th -12th.

Children’s classes run the same time as the adult classes from 9 a.m. -10 am every Sunday morning except for Sabbath Sundays (any month with a 5th Sunday), when our entire church family takes a breath together and meets for fellowship and prayer before the main service.

The Sunday morning worship service is a special time for our church.  People of all ages gather together in the sanctuary at 10:30 am where we sing, pray, and listen to the Scriptures.  Many times we hear personal testimonies of the great works God has done in our lives.  We value these opportunities to worship God and grow together, both young and old, as He builds us into a holy temple.

When the time comes for the message, we offer Children’s Church for elementary kids of any age, but we welcome children to remain in the service with their parents as well.

We invite you to browse below for some of the opportunities available to children and students.

BIRTH - KINDERGARTEN

We understand that some families are best served with a place to take their young children during the morning service.  A nursery is provided for infants and their parents each Sunday morning.  As the Lord continues to grow our church family we desire to provide a fully staffed nursery.  But for the time being, we are happy to provide a live stream, available to watch on the TV in the nursery. 

ELEMENTARY - HIGH SCHOOL

Sunday School classes provide a great opportunity for children to learn about God and how to serve Him with the gifts He has given them.

Currently, each elementary, middle school and high school class are making their way through the “Gospel Project”, a three year journey through the entire Bible, tracing Jesus Christ from Genesis to Revelation.  Each lesson is tracking with the adult Sunday school classes who are learning the same content in their own age-specific ways.  This allows families to discuss what they are learning each week and grow together.

We believe that children were created to worship the Lord and serve Him at home and in the local church.  So, we encourage our kids to use their gifts of service in many different ministries.  Some of the opportunities available include music, tech, ushering, service projects and special events.  Our adults are encouraged to reach out to the youth and disciple them in their service.

Throughout the year, opportunities arise for service, fellowship and fun!  We’ve enjoyed events like “build a snow man Sunday” or getting together at Peak ’N Peak for snow tubing!  The winter youth retreat at a local christian camp is always a blast!  In the summer, we like to use our talents in serving our community through VBS or special outreach events at the local park.  Getting together at each other’s homes is also a fun and encouraging time!

Here at FCC you will hear this phrase often said, “The children and youth of our church are not just the future of the church, they are the church!”  We hope your family will join us soon and grow along with us!
