Main St. Kids - Preschool and Children's Ministry
Welcome to Main St. Kids, FBC’s ministry to Preschoolers and Children from birth – Grade 5. It is our goal to provide an environment where God’s Holy spirit can work to bring each child to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and where preschoolers and children can grow and mature spiritually on their level.
It is a well proven fact that a high percentage of Christians express their belief in Jesus as their Savior during the elementary years. The Main St. Kids staff take their call and commitment to working with children very seriously and strive to create an environment each time a child is at church to enhance this. Whether it is a Sunday morning Bible Study, Wednesday evening choir or mission group, Kids Camp, VBS, a retreat, or other outside activity, where children are gathered, the opportunity exists to share the love of Jesus Christ. We also are committed to working with parents and families to help support them as they guide their child on their spiritual journey. Please do not hesitate to contact Susan Tatum, Minister with Children and Families with any questions (statum@fbcknox.org).

What happens on Sundays?
Our Children’s area (grades K-5) is located on the 2nd floor. This Children's area on the 2nd floor is newly renovated and is a beautiful new space for the kids to enjoy.
Children gather for a large group time starting at 9:45am for celebration, music, videos, and Bible stories. In Main St. Kids, we use the Orange Curriculum, focusing on the relationship among kids and on their relationship with God based on Luke 2:52 (who Jesus is, the sacrifice he made for them, and how they can respond to become a follower of Christ).
At 10:30am, the group breaks out into small groups for a time of follow-up and application of the lesson for the day. Parents pick up their child at 10:45am.
Preschool ages are from newborn to pre-K and meet on the 1st floor at 9:45am for a time of nurturing, care, and age-appropriate Bible lessons and stories. Parents that have 4-year-olds to pre-K pick up their children at 10:45am and take them to the 11am service.

Thinking of a child/family dedication?
The birth of a new baby brings both incredible joy and perhaps some fears to new parents. We believe that children are a “gift .from God” (Psalm 127:3) and are given as blessings, but also come with unique responsibilities and challenges. Proverbs 22:6 tells us to “train up a child in the way that he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
The Main St. Kids ministry desires to walk alongside parents whether it is their first child or one of many to offer support, care, love, and most importantly prayer as parents face an ever changing and many times challenging world.
One of the ways that we do this is to observe Child and Family Dedications during our worship services. A new baby and family are introduced to our church family during the Sunday morning service. This is a time not only to offer thanks to God for this new life, but also for our church family to commit to praying for and supporting this baby and their family.
Child and Family dedications can be arranged by contacting Susan Tatum, Minister with Children and Families (statum@fbcknox.org)
