Children's Ministries

The goal of our children’s ministries at UBNC is to provide a safe and fun learning environment where kids can experience the love of Christ and make a life-long commitment to follow Him.
 

FW Friends

FW Friends is our new and exciting program on Wednesday nights from 6:45 to 8:00. It is an exciting time of games, crafts, skits, songs, and tons of fun. This is a highly interactive, hands-on learning environment that teaches Biblical lessons in creative and practical ways for today’s kids. “FW” stands for Faith Weavers, and it is our desire to integrate or weave faith into our kids’ daily lives.
 

High 5^ers

This is our mid-week program for fifth graders. High 5ers is aimed at meeting the changing needs of this age group through a small group setting. It also meets from 6:45 to 8:00.

 

Sunday School

On Sunday mornings we provide small group settings based on grade levels where the children can meet and learn about Biblical stories and values as well as have crafts and age appropriate activities. The groups meet at 9:15 prior to our worship hour. Nursery care is available for infants and toddlers.
 

Children’s Church

On Sunday mornings grades one through four leave the main service on designated Sundays to worship and learn in unique and fun ways. Their time together includes various activities, songs, games and lessons. Children’s Church allows children to learn and develop in an age appropriate manner. Nursery care and Preschool Children’s Church are available during the entire worship hour.
 

Children’s Choir

Through out the year kindergarteners through sixth graders gather to work on various musical programs that are preformed. This gives the children an opportunity to hear and experience God’s truths through music and drama. During this time the kids are separated into small groups for lessons and crafts that relate to the musical’s theme.
 

Karate Classes

Karate classes are a ministry to families as well as children. We have two nights of classes a week where family members from 6 years old and up can come and participate. We teach self-defense and a traditional karate style called Okinawan Kenpo.

Karate also teaches self-confidence, self-control, self-discipline and respect. While the lessons are free, there are fees to cover belt tests, uniforms and equipment.
