Kids connect children's worship

Children are a vibrant part of church at MBC. We offer engaging Children’s programming for children from 6 months to fifth grade. Volunteers lead children in fun, age-appropriate lessons about God’s great love for them. It is our prayer that the Lord would use the time we spend together on Sunday mornings to help your kids go deeper into God’s word, grow in the gospel of Christ, and then be able to share the joy and love they have received from God with others. 

If you have any questions regarding the Children’s Ministry, email rachel@manahawkinbaptistchurch.org.  


"But Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.'" Matthew 19:14


COVID Adjustments: 

It is our priority to engage your child with God’s in a safe atmosphere during these difficult times. As such, all children over 2 will be required to wear a mask to any indoor gathering at MBC. Additionally, children will have their temperature taken before entering their classroom. Classrooms may be combined while numbers are low and at present no care is offered for children under the age or 3 or not potty trained. We look forward to returning to our full programming in the coming months and will keep you updated. It is a joy to serve these children that God loves so much! 

  • CHECK-IN and Security

    This ministry exists to provide a loving, safe environment for our children. For the safety and security of your children, all parents must check in their children prior to attending worship.

    Check-in takes place in the foyer and Education Building beginning at 9:45 a.m. The Education Building is located East of the main entrance of the Church. Look for the MBC Kids Banner. Once you check in, you and your child will be given matching identification tags that are exclusive to your family and your visit. Your child will need to wear the name tag portion of your matching identification tags.

    During checkout, you will need to give your tag to a volunteer at our check-out station in the Education Building in order for your child to be released back to you.

    Our volunteers are all background checked and trained in child safety. 


  • Nursery- 

    CURRENTLY CLOSED DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS

    Our nursery provides a welcoming and secure atmosphere for children ages 6 months to 3 years old. Caring volunteers joyfully demonstrate the love of Christ as these little ones enjoy their first experiences of Church. Located in the Education Building. 

  • Pre-K

    Our preschool class is designed to engage potty trained 3-year-old through PreK kids with the message of Jesus’ love. We use the “Grow” curriculum, which aligns with our elementary age students so that your whole family is learning about the same part of the Bible in age-appropriate ways. Located in the Education Building.

  • Kids Connect Grades K-5

    Elementary students use the “Grow” curriculum. Kids play interactive games and activities to help apply biblical concepts to their head, heart and spread God’s love with their hands. Grow is designed to engage children in the whole narrative of God’s Word over the course of three years. Our hope is to develop Biblical literacy in our Elementary age students through fun and creative storytelling.

  • the "quiet" room

    If you need a private moment with your child during worship, the Quiet Room is available just off of the front lobby.  There you can hear and see the worship service without being concerned about disturbing anyone else.
