Children

Why are we here?
The mission statement of SBC Angleton states that, "We exist for the glory of God, by loving God, loving others, and making disciples."  That mission is for all ministries of the church, including children's ministry!  Even our littlest kids in the nursery can learn about God and His love for them!
What do we want to accomplish? 
We want every child, from nursery to 6th grade, to learn truths from Scripture (doctrines) and Bible skills that will equip them to understand the mission statement, and learn how to live it out in their lives.  To this end, it is our goal to provide a safe place where kids not only have fun, but learn every time they are at SBC Angleton.  It is our desire for every child to come to faith in Jesus Christ, and then begin their lifelong journey of growth and discipleship.
We want to be very intentional about what and how we teach our children.  So we have come up with a doctrine and Bible skills plan to keep us on track, based on age.  For instance, we want to teach nursery aged kids and preschoolers that God made them, and loves them.  Kinder students can learn what sin is, and that God talks to us through His Word.  They can also begin memorizing Bible verses, and understanding what the references mean (Bible book, chapter, verse).  As children grow, they can learn and understand more and more.  Then, we organize our programs to make sure that we are teaching the kids what we feel they should know.
How do we do that?
Sunday School - This is our core discipleship program.  Classes, divided by age, meet on Sunday mornings at 9:30 to study the Word of God.  
We are currently using the Answers Bible Curriculum, from Answers in Genesis.  This wonderful study is a chronological journey through the Bible, learning the truths of Scripture as well as how to defend our faith.

Awana-(Spring/Fall) Awana stands for "approved workmen are not ashamed" from 2 Timothy 2:15.  Awana is a great program on Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:30, where we learn Bible verses, Bible truths, and have lots of fun! Awana is for children 3 years old-6th grade. 
Yearly Outreach/Discipleship Programs - These are opportunities for us to invite families to our facility, for a safe space to have fun as well as hear the gospel.  Check back during the year for more details on these events.
  • Vacation Bible School - Children K-6th grade are invited to join us for a wonderful time of foundational teachings on who God is, and why Jesus came. 
  • Trunk or Treat- Each year on October 31 we offer candy, a photo area, food, and a safe place to trick-or-treat in our parking lot.  We have a wonderful time talking together and seeing all of the fun costumes!
  • Easter Egg Hunt - The Saturday before Easter we come together to talk about the true reason for the holiday, as well as hunt tons of eggs for candy and prizes!  Children of all ages are invited.
