Children: Pre K – 5th

Welcome to our Children’s Ministry!

Hillcrest seeks to create an environment that teaches our children the truth about God and His word. Our Preschool is fully staffed for all services which includes a children’s church during the Sunday morning worship service from 10:30 to 11:30 am. All children’s classes are divided by age group for Sunday School. We offer bus rides for children who are at least four years of age.

Sunday School

10:00-11:00am

We offer Sunday school classes for children age three and up to sixth grade. We encourage the children to “grow and become strong, full of wisdom and the grace of God” Luke 2:40 just like Jesus did as a child.

The Gospel Project program teaches Bible stories Old Testament through the New Testament, showing how God’s plan of salvation flows throughout history. Students sing songs, play music, read and engage with the Bible lessons, watch the DVD’s of each lesson, discuss the main point of each lesson prompted by the discussion starter, and color Bible story pictures. In grades 1-3 students each have their own Bible Story coloring book and personal zipper pencil pouch with their own pencil colors, crayons and pencils.

Social distancing, hand washing and Covid19 protocol are observed. Memory work includes John 3:16, The Lord’s Prayer, The Ten Commandments, Books of the Bible, and other Bible story related verses. The Prayer Wall encourages students to post personal prayers and the class prays together and celebrates answers to prayer. Missions focuses on Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes, collecting supplies, writing letters to put in each box, praying for each recipient and packing the boxes.

Children’s Church

A worship experience tailored especially for our children from 3 years old through 5th grade.  The children meet in the foyer just before Pastor’s message. The children are divided into two (older and younger age) groups where they then head to separate meeting areas.  We are sensitive to social distancing and seating which goes into our planning and activities. As a security measure, children will remain in the supervised worship area until a parent/guardian arrives to pick them up. If the Lord is leading you to share in the Hillcrest Children’s worship ministry, please contact Pastor Bradley Jemes or Marty Kinnett. For added safety, our children’s leaders undergo training along with background checks.

God’s Kids Squad

A Sunday evening (6:00 pm – 7:00 pm) children’s event for children from Pre-school thru 5th grade, meeting in the Family Life Center. Emphasis is placed on children learning more about Jesus’ love for them and ways we can look to serve Him. Biblical centered learning, games and missional activities amplify this message of service. In September, we will learn about famous fishermen from the Bible, testimonies from Hillcrest fishermen, practice being fishers of men, and hone the child’s actual fishing skills leading up to a special fishing event in October. Be on the lookout for fun surprises. Please contact Mary Kinnett or Donna Jennings.

Treasure Seekers

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” – Matthew 6:21

Hillcrest Baptist Church is excited to announce our new Wednesday night program for children, Treasure Seekers. We’ll be using a LifeWay curriculum called Bible Studies for Life in which children learn about God’s Word, its application to their lives, and to treasure what’s really important.

Treasure Seekers will meet from 6-7 PM on Wednesdays when Lebanon R-3 has school. The church will also be serving a meal beginning at 5.

The following age-group classes will be offered: *PreK—children must be 3 by July 31, 2020 2nd-3rd grades K-1st grade 4th-5th grades

An Adult Prayer and Bible Study and Youth classes are offered during the same time frame. A nursery is provided for parents who are attending the Prayer and Bible Study or working with the children or youth.
