Bible Study is held at 11:00 AM, following our main worship and Kids Min worship.
God invites even the smallest children into His beautiful story. Before a child ever opens their eyes, God has already seen them, knows them by name, and loves them deeply. Scripture reminds us of the sacred responsibility we have to care for children, guide them with wisdom, and nurture their spiritual growth. At Gayton Baptist, our Kids Ministry is a place where children are welcomed, known, and encouraged to discover God’s love in age-appropriate and meaningful ways.
Our Nursery (Rm. 210-212) is a warm, safe, and joyful space for infants and toddlers from birth to age three. Loving volunteers care for our youngest children while creating an environment where faith can begin to take root. Because we believe spiritual formation starts early, our Nursery Care programming includes a monthly prayer, blessing, Scripture, Bible truth, simple activity, and song rhyme—introducing God’s love in gentle and developmentally appropriate ways.
As children grow, our Preschool Church (PSC) and Elementary Kids Worship (EKW) build on that foundation by creatively engaging kids in God’s Word. Every Kids Ministry experience is centered on Scripture and designed to connect what children learn on Sunday mornings with discipleship at home throughout the week. Using a unified three-year scope and sequence, both preschool and elementary kids learn the same biblical truths in age-appropriate ways. God’s big story of redemption and hope through salvation in Jesus Christ is at the heart of everything we do, helping children hear, experience, and live out their faith week after week.
Preschool Church (Room 228) welcomes children ages three through Pre-K each Sunday morning. Our dedicated volunteers guide preschoolers through age-appropriate Bible stories, supported by engaging pre- and post-worship small group activities. Each lesson is thoughtfully designed to lay a strong foundation for a child’s faith journey, helping them begin to know God in ways that are meaningful, accessible, and fun. Through stories, activities, videos, and hands-on experiences, preschoolers discover God’s truth through His Word.
Elementary Kids Worship (Room 230) is a dynamic and engaging worship experience created just for elementary-aged kids. Through worship music, Bible teaching, interactive activities, videos, and small group connections, children learn that they can make wise choices, build strong relationships, and grow a deep and authentic faith. Each week focuses on one clear and memorable biblical truth, helping kids leave knowing what matters most—and how God’s Word applies to their everyday lives.
