The needs of young children and their families are high priorities at Broadus Church. We seek to provide the care, programming and activities that children require from infancy through elementary school to support their development as healthy, faith-filled youth. We also believe that the church can provide a strong foundation for spiritual and social maturity without placing an undue burden on a family’s already busy schedule.
Nursery
Nursery care is offered during both Worship services for infants through pre-kindergarten age children. Many safety precautions including check-in procedures, worker screening, and windows on all classroom doors, offer protection for our children and peace of mind for our parents. Pagers are also available.
Sunday School at 10:00am
Broadus offers classes for infants through fifth graders. In every class there are at least two teachers chosen for their particular gifts of teaching and relating to children in a loving manner. Bible truths and the stories of our faith are presented through multi-sensory activities that encourage participation and enhance understanding. Children learn of God’s love, their place in His kingdom, and life applications that will help them to build Christian character.
Children’s Message
During both Sunday morning services, Pastor Phil or Ms Karen invites the children to the front of the Worship Center for a kid-sized lesson that may include illustrations, props, or science experiments to help them better understand the sermon or Bible truth. Honestly, the adults love these messages as much as the kids!
Children In Worship
We welcome the presence of children in our worship services and encourage them to participate in giving praises to God through singing, clapping, prayer, tithing and listening to the sermon. Children’s Worship Bulletins are made available at the entrance to the Worship Center every Sunday. | Wednesday Evenings (September thru May) |
| 5:15 | Family Dinner – the best value in Mechanicsville! |
| 6:00 | Choir for all children at least 4 years old. Nursery care is offered for infants and children not yet 4. |
| 6:30-7:15 | Mission Kids – Where kids learn about mission opportunities by doing! We have made prayer cards for prisoners, packed treat bags for the homeless, filled shoeboxes with Christmas presents, created Valentines for veterans, made blankets and stuff pillows for cancer patients, and many other projects. |
Special Activities
