Thanks for “stopping by” First Alliance children’s ministry. We’re glad you’re here. 😊

Our heart is to help children and their families fall in love with Jesus and to build a strong faith foundation that is deeply rooted in Him. We want every child (and their family) to know they are seen, known, and cared for by a faith community that is committed to walking alongside them. Through our programs, we aim to provide a solid understanding of many of the major stories of the Bible in ways that are engaging, memorable, and meaningful.

We lean into the different seasons of the year, guiding children at each stage of their journey while helping them build a lifelong faith and fellowship with Jesus. Below is an overview of the programs we offer at First Alliance, along with our approach to summer children’s ministry.

Nursery: Our nursery room is open and available for parent supervision during both Sunday services. It's a comfortable, quiet space where parents can care for their infants.

Toddler room: Our toddler room is staffed by dedicated volunteers who protect, care for, and guide our littlest ones while their families attend the service. Toddlers enjoy a time of Bible stories, songs, and engaging activities designed just for them.

BLAST: Believe – Learn – And – Serve Together

During both Sunday morning services throughout the school year, families begin by signing in at the check-in station before heading into the sanctuary to worship together through song. Partway through the service, children from JK to Grade 6 are dismissed to attend BLAST, where they participate in an engaging program designed just for them. Each week includes a large group lesson, a short video which reinforces the lesson, and age-based small groups (JK–SK, Grades 1–3, and Grades 4–6) where kids dive deeper through discussion, Bible study, and hands-on activities.

We might be a little biased, but Kids Club is one of the most fun events at FAC each week! 😊 Held on Wednesday nights from 7:00–8:30pm throughout the school year, Kids Club is a midweek program designed to give kids in grades 1-6 a fun, safe space to be themselves. Each week includes high-energy games in the gym, a shared snack, and learning about Jesus. It’s a place where kids can explore the Bible, ask honest questions, and grow in their understanding of God while building friendships and laughing a lot along the way.

Intergenerational Model

Throughout the summer months and on the 5th Sunday of the month when applicable, we worship together as an intergenerational church. These special services are an opportunity for children and adults to experience the full rhythm of church life side by side: singing, praying, and learning as one church family, and we aim to incorporate elements of the services that specially engage children during these weeks. We value these times of togetherness as a way to foster connection across generations and model a shared life of faith.

Curious Kids: STEM Labs is a one-week, evening event held every August, offering kids a fun, hands-on learning experience. They’ll explore the world of science, from launching rockets to squishing slime, while discovering the BASIC elements of faith — Believe, Ask, Serve, Impact, Celebrate. Each evening is packed with games, friends, experiments, and faith-filled fun!
