Sunday Morning Kids Program
At Bay Park Kids, we want every child to know they are deeply loved by God and invited into His story. From nursery through Grade 6, we create age-appropriate environments where children can build relationships, worship, ask questions, and dig into Scripture. We want kids to know God’s Word, understand the bigger story of the gospel, and discover what it looks like to follow Jesus in their everyday lives. Throughout the year, our whole Kids Ministry works together on Scripture memory, helping children hide God’s Word in their hearts and carry it with them throughout the week.
Our volunteers are carefully selected, trained, and equipped to serve children well, with required background checks completed and clear safety practices in place. Above all, we want Kids Ministry to be a place where every child is known, loved, safe, and encouraged to grow as a fully devoted follower of Christ.
Curriculum:
Nursery – Age 6-23 months old, Room 103
Our Nursery is a loving introduction to church for our littlest ones. Nursery volunteers create a warm and welcoming environment where children are cared for, loved, prayed for, and introduced to worship through simple songs. We want every child to experience from the very beginning that church is a safe place where they are known, loved, and welcomed.
Toddler – Age 2-4 years old, Room 104
In our Toddler class, we use The Beginner’s Gospel Story Curriculum to help little ones begin discovering the story of the Bible and the good news of Jesus. Each week, children explore age-appropriate Bible stories that point to God’s goodness, faithfulness, and His promises to His people. Through stories, songs, crafts, questions, and play, children are invited to discover who God is and begin to understand that God always keeps His promises.
JK-Grade 1 – Room 105
In our JK-Grade 1 class, we use Grow Curriculum to help children discover who God is and what it means to follow Jesus. Through engaging Bible stories, activities, songs, and discussion, children learn how the Bible tells one big story of God’s love and His plan to redeem His people. Our goal is to help children build a strong foundation of biblical truth while growing in their love for Jesus.
Grade 2-4 – Room 106
In our Grade 2-4 class, we use Grow Curriculum to help children go deeper into God’s Word and understand how the gospel connects to every part of the Bible. Through Bible teaching, discussion, activities, and practical application, children are encouraged to ask questions, grow in their understanding of Scripture, and discover what it looks like to follow Jesus in their everyday lives.
Grade 5-6 – Room 107
In our Grade 5-6 class, we use Grow Curriculum to help students develop a deeper understanding of Scripture and a growing, personal faith in Jesus. As they engage with God’s Word, ask meaningful questions, and explore how the gospel shapes their lives, students are encouraged to think biblically, live out their faith, and grow as fully devoted followers of Christ.

Bay Park Sensory Space Now Open for Sunday Morning Services!
Welcome to Bay Park’s brand-new Sensory Space for KIDS! We are so happy to welcome families to our inclusive space intended for children ages 1–12 years old. This space is parent/caregiver led, and we welcome parents and caregivers to stay with their child(ren) and watch a livestream of the church service. Our Sensory Space offers both calming and active areas for children who may be feeling over-stimulated or who require purposeful physical activity and active input. The space contains many intentional therapeutic items and purposely created spaces, including calming lighting, a sensory bubble tube, weighted blankets, noise machines, trampoline, play tent, spinning chairs, rocking chair, bean bag chair, sensory-specific toys, books, and more.
Our Sensory Space has been developed in recognition of families with children with exceptionalities like developmental delays, Autism, ADHD. We welcome families to attend church services in the auditorium, but we know this may be challenging at times. The Sensory Space is an option for you and your child and we encourage you to enjoy all of Bay Park, including the auditorium, cafe, Sunday school programming, and more. While we recognize that our Sensory Space is for children 1–12 years old, we know everyone’s sensory needs are unique and don’t stop at age 12! Please connect with us if you have a child who could benefit from the space who is older.
Our Sensory Space is located at the front of the church in Room 102 and is available Sunday mornings during both morning services. Please note that we do not allow small items in our space to ensure the safety of our guests who may put items in their mouths. For questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out to the church office and/or Joie Misner via email.
