2BC Loves Kids!
We have a thriving and secure ministry to children, preschoolers, and youth. On Sunday mornings, we have several places where your children will be safe, have fun, and learn about Jesus on their level. We have childcare for infants through Pre-K children during our 9:00 a.m. Well service and our 11:00 a.m. Sanctuary service. We gladly welcome kindergartners through fifth graders into our services. Students in 6th through 12th grades have engaging and fun Sunday School options from 10 a.m. to 10:50 a.m.
