“But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” Luke 18:16
Jesus welcomed the children…we do the same.
PFBC Kids! seeks to partner with parents to grow and disciple children to be more like Jesus. The classes and programs offered at PFBC help teach children through fun and welcoming programs, loving and caring teaching, and Christ-centered curriculum.
We love spending time with children, hearing their stories, and coming alongside families to support them in raising God-fearing children.
PFBC Kids! Programs
Children’s Church is a fun, engaging, kid-centered church service for newborns through 5th grade every Sunday during our 10 AM Worship Service!
To participate, stop by the Children’s Check-in station, located to your left upon entering the church lobby. There, someone with our Children’s Ministry team will help check you in and provide a retrieval sticker for each child. After checking in, children will remain with you for the beginning of the service until dismissed.
We take your child’s safety and care seriously, so all of our Children’s Church teachers have their PA Child Abuse and Police Background Check Clearances. Additionally, we ensure that only the parents/guardians dropping off a child will be the ones picking them up.
For additional info on Sunday mornings, Plan Your Visit here.
