Children Ministry is at the heart of what we do here at BCOC. We are so excited to have the opportunity to partner with you in teaching your children the Word of God. Our belief is that children’s ministry should be both fun and interactive. If you have any questions about our programs, contact our children’s pastor Allie Edwards.

We receive babies as gifts from God. As we hold the babies, we pray for them to receive all that God has for them in life. We believe that every child we pray for will be touched by God.

Our Shining Stars are introduced to the beautiful world God created for them. We have worship and prayer time and learning material with a hands-on approach that activates their senses and helps them develop a healthy, positive attitude toward God.

Jesus desires for children to have the bread of life, the Word. We are breaking “the bread” into smaller pieces to give to the children so that they may have understanding on their own level. We teach these children Bible truths in small groups. They learn about God through praise and worship, prayer, crafts, story time, flannel graph and videos.

Can a child have faith? Absolutely! A child can “grow in faithful responses, reflect faithful parents, and be nurtured in a faithful church.” BCOC’s elementary department seeks to partner with parents in teaching children essential Biblical truths and encouraging a life of faith by building upon the spiritual foundation already in place. Jesus encourages us in Matthew 19:14, “Let the little children come to Me and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Jesus then placed His hands on the children and prayed for them. Today, Jesus is still touching and blessing children.
