GROVE KIDS
GROVE KIDS
Grove Kids seeks to partner with parents to make disciples who know, grow, and show the living God.
GROW
Our mission is to make disciples. This means we want the information to lead to transformation. We don't want kids to just know God, but to grow in their relationship with Him and others. This is accomplished by providing tools and fostering relationships that encourage and equip kids to love God.
YOUR FIRST VISIT
At Grove Kids, our children, (infant through 5th grade) experience safe, age-appropriate environments where they learn about Jesus in a creative and exciting way. We show how wonderful God's Word is, and help kids grow in their faith. We would love to see you visit First Baptist Church of Downers Grove, and we'd love to welcome your children into Grove Kids.
CHECK-IN POLICY
Safety is important for us at First Baptist Church of Downers Grove. Please keep these 3 check-in policies in mind.
When you arrive, we will get some basic contact information from you for our check-in process: name, primary phone #, pertinent allergies or medical needs.
Once you have filled out some basic information, we will give you two name tags. Tag 1 will be placed on your child. Tag 2 will be retained by you. You will not be able to pick-up your child without a tag.
After service, when you come to pick up your child we ask that you follow a few key steps. First you will your name tag in order to pick-up your child. Second, please do not enter the classroom. We prioritize a safe and secure environment. Only scheduled volunteers are allowed into the classroom.
CURRENT SERIES
GROW!
At Grove Kids our mission is to make disciples who know, grow, and show the living God! One of the ways we do that is through Sunday School. We want to help teach kids about God and help them grow in their faith. This is our next series called "Sing!" This series focuses on the book of Psalms. We want to teach kids the importance of praising God.
1. I am wonderful because God made me.
2. I am safe because God watches over me.
3. I am confident because God leads me.
4. I am forgiven because God loves me.
We hope that you will be able to join us as we learn about worshipping God!
