Children's ministry is not just "babysitting," but purposeful in teaching our kids the truths of God's Word in a safe and loving environment. To live out that intention, we provide the following care for the kids on Sunday mornings;

Nursery for children 0-3 years old (available for the entire service)
Classrooms for Elementary age children (dismissed to class later in the service)
- Children in Pre-k and Kindergarten
- Children in 1st-3rd grade
- Children in 4th-5th grade

When you arrive, head to the big Redeemer Kids banner to get help checking in!

Scripture Memory Program

Here at Redeemer BFC, we strongly desire that our children learn to
“hide God’s word in [their] heart[s]” (Psalm 119:11) In order to help them with this important task,
we have put together a program designed to guide them through the memorizing of scripture.

When a child starts 1st grade, they will receive a bookmark.
On this first bookmark are 20 carefully selected verse references for your child to look up (with help from you, if needed) and memorize in whatever translation they are used to reading already.
Once they memorize a verse, they may recite that verse, after class on Sunday, to their teacher or one of our teacher’s helpers. If successful, they will receive a hole punch on their bookmark next to that reference.
Once they have completed all 20 verses in any order, your child will receive a prize from our prize bin and the next bookmark in the series.

There are a total of 5 bookmarks (red, orange, yellow, green, and blue), each with verses rising in difficulty to memorize but also with more complex meanings behind the verses. The goal is that each child will be able to memorize all 20 verses in a single year, and by the time they reach 5th grade, they'll have memorized 100 verses!

Along with the original 100 verses, we have two other opportunities for memorization.

First, each Child will receive a purple bookmark with the books of the Bible listed on it. Once a child memorizes and is able to recite the books of the Bible, they will receive a special purple ribbon and a prize.
Second, by request, a child can receive what we have lovingly dubbed the Psalms Club bookmark. This white bookmark has 5 Psalms for the children to work on memorizing; Psalms 1, 23, 100, 121, and 150. Once a child has memorized and recited all 5 of the Psalms from the Psalms Club, they will receive a special ribbon and a prize to remember their great achievement!

Every year on move-up Sunday, with your permission we will announce the names of all the kids who have completed any of the full bookmarks with a special recognition for those who manage to complete all of them.
There may even be a special prize for any children who can complete the whole rainbow!

Here are some tips to help them along the way;

Print out copies of the bookmarks and hang them on your fridge, or anywhere they will frequently see it and be reminded of it.
Write out the verse (with pictures for those who have trouble reading) and hang it on the bathroom mirror, their bedroom door, or stick it in their sock drawer. Anywhere they’ll see it often is good!
Write the verse on a white board, chalk board, or piece of paper and have them erase a word or a few every day until they can say the whole thing.
Write just the first letter of each word down and have them tap each letter as they say the word it represents.
Find a song, especially for the books of the Bible. Putting things to music is a great memorization tactic.
Make up hand motions or, better yet, look up the sign language interpretation.
Talk about it at family dinner, or whatever meal you may get to eat together.
Talk about it in the car; a captive audience is a good thing!
Memorize it together: knowing what the Bible says isn’t only good for our children but for all of us!
