Children’s Ministry
of Community Baptist Church (CBC)
CBC Children’s
Ministry adheres to the principle that children have a very special
place in
God's kingdom. In Matthew 19:14, Jesus said, "Let the little children
come
to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
Activities
During every celebration, the
children will be seated in
front of the church where they will join in the worship. After the
worship, the
children will adjourn to their own classes for their lessons. Lessons
include
an icebreaker or game, the teaching of God's word and craft. Skits,
puppets,
flannel-graph, object lessons, quizzes are some of the methods we use
to teach
the lesson. Children are also encouraged to memorise verses.
Field trips and visits to
Children’s Homes are also
organised.
As an incentive, points are
given to the children. These
points can be redeemed for gifts or vouchers. Redemption of points is 3
times a
year.
Time
Children's Church is held at
the same time as the adult congregation
at every centre.
Grouping
The children are grouped into
3 or 4 classes according to
their ages.
Teachers
Teachers are committed members
of CBC and come in on a
voluntary basis. Many are mothers of young children and therefore have
hands-on
experience in dealing with children. Teachers and helpers are also
encouraged to attend Children’s Ministry Training Programmes for
equipping. Duties
are allocated on a rotation basis. Each class has between 1 to 4
teachers/helpers, depending on the size of the group.
The CBC Children’s Ministry
Coordinator is
Suzie
Lo. The Head for each
centre is Suzie Lo (SEA-Park),
Kathleen Ngui (SEA-Park Chinese), Elaine Tan
(Sunway-Subang), Chong Tau Fan (Puchong), Audrey Ho (Kota D’sara) and
Joe Ng
(Jinjang).
Special events
Birthday parties are held 3
times a year to celebrate the
children's birthdays.
Christmas parties are held every end of the year.
Discovery Days are held yearly
and is opened to non
believers. God's word is taught and other activities are organised for
the
two-day session. Memory verse competition is held at
each centre.
Intergenerational cell
The word that is taught on
Sunday is further reinforced
during the cell group time.
