FBC Loves Kids!

At FBC Portland, we are committed to raising up the next generation of disciples. We have a focus on discipleship in everything we do from the curriculum we choose, to the activities we do, and to the mission projects we encourage our kids to partake in.

We offer Kids Church for those in 1st-5th grade on Sundays at 9AM while the main service is going on. During this time, Pastor Bradley, takes the kids through a time of worship, games, mission focus, a lesson on the same passage that is being taught that day in the main service so families can connect after service and talk about the same passage, and a time of prayer and reflection through a journal response time.

We also offer Worship Care for kids ages 0-5 while the service is going on at 9AM. We have at least 2 adults in each class that have been background checked and have a wonderful heart to serve your kids. We also have outlined protocols in each classroom that our teachers follow that keep kids safe.

One of our highest priorities at FBC is your child’s safety. Every volunteer who works in our Kids department submits to a thorough background check. In addition to a background check, we train and orient volunteers about safety and security protocols.

When you arrive at FBC, our Welcome Crew will meet you at the door with a smile and a heart ready to serve you and your family. They will walk your family to our designated check-in desk. At this station, we will learn about you and about your children (including allergies and special instructions). Before you leave the check-in area, we will provide both you and your child with a unique code that will ensure your kid only goes to you during pick up. In addition to this, we have security cameras in every room, key-card access doors that only authorized personnel can enter that take families to the preschool classrooms, and LifeVac stations in each hallway with instructions on how to use.

NURSERY & CHILDCARE

FBC has age appropriate rooms designed for babies & toddlers as well as classrooms for our 2-3 year olds and our 4-5 year olds. Worship Care is available every Sunday. We have at least 2 adults in every class ready to love on and teach your little ones.

Barnyard Bash Kid Church

This is an exciting time for kids in 1st-5th grade. Our kids learn how to be better disciples of Jesus in fun and engaging ways that they learn best by. Most importantly, everything we do is to reflect Jesus and help our kids grow in their relationship with Him.

Community Groups

We have Community Groups every Sunday following the 9AM service. This is where kids will go to a classroom with other kids their age and be taught a lesson from the Bible by their teachers, have fun activities that tie into the lesson that day, and they will have many opportunities to discuss the lesson together and engage with the material with the other kids in their class. Community Groups are a key aspect of discipleship at FBC Portland.
