Children’s & Family Ministries
We at SBPC welcome children and desire to provide them a caring, secure and nurturing environment where they feel loved, have fun, be among friends, and thrive as they will grow in the knowledge of the Lord. Our Children's Ministry offers such programs for children Grade 5 and under where they can participate in fun, learning activities during the year.
People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuffed them. 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. Truly, I say tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." Luke 18:15-17 (NIV)
