"I'm a Christian Now!" Discipleship Class

It is exciting when a child feels and accepts the invitation to follow Christ. Becoming a Christian is a decision that affects every decision. Given the importance of that decision, BBC Kids would like to invite your child to be a part of a discipleship process that will complement what you are currently doing to assist your child in growing in Christ. This study is entitled “I’m a Christian Now!”

This class will be a special 7-week study taught during the Sunday School hour at 9:30am. Our first session will be on October 7 and we will meet every Sunday Morning. Our study will conclude on November 25. Please makes sure your child comes with their Bible! We will meet in the FLC. Parent's please escort your child to the FLC, and the bus will bring them up for the 10:45 am serve. Please be on time. Children who are late will miss crucial portions of the class.

To give you a taste of what we will be discussing, the course schedule is listed below.

Week 1: Becoming A Christian
Week 2: Following Jesus' Example through Baptism and The Lord's Supper                               

Week 3: Church? What's That? And Why do we go?
Week 4: Spending Time With God
Week 5: What is Worship?
Week 6: What Can I Give? (Stewardship)
Week 7: What is Missions? Who are Southern Baptists & Why do we believe what we believe?


During this course, your child will receive several books. The first covers the first 4 weeks. of our study. They will also receive a First Steps book to help you, as a parent, answer some tough questions your kids may ask. At the end of the course, each student will receive a 90 devotional book based on the same curriculum we've been studying. This will allow you as a parent to continue the discipleship after we finish the course. We also encourage you to look into purchasing a devotional book for your child to continue their quiet time with.

Each student will also receive a memory box to decorate and fill with all the different items from our course. This is always a highlight of the course because many of the children love to customize their memory boxes.

On October  28, there is no Sunday School due to the Mission's Conference. Due to this, our course will now run through November 25!

On November 4, we will have a class "hang out" session. The class will vote on what we will do, and permission slips will be handed out. The cost of this "hang out" time should be no more than $10.

If you have any questions, please see Elizabeth Horne, Children's Minister.
