Here at Emmanuel Baptist Church, we know kids. We know that they learn by hearing and doing. Our goal is to help them understand biblical truths and how to use these truths in their everyday lives. In E-Kids, you can be confident that your children will experience the Word of God on their level with age-appropriate curriculum and teachers that can speak into their lives. Our passion is to enable your child to grow in faith and to recognize the truth of Scripture in his or her daily life. We want to support you as the parent(s) while helping your child to take the next step in his or her faith journey.

AWANA meets on Wednesdays at 7pm and is a vital part of our children’s department. It builds off of 2 Timothy 2:15 where we are instructed, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth” (ESV). Taking its name from this verse, AWANA stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed.

VBS is an amazing opportunity for kids to get some quality time with God’s Word, their teachers, and the rest of the kids at Emmanuel. They will also have time for crafts, games, snack, and so much more! With captivating songs and teachers who are dedicated to fostering the spiritual growth of our children, VBS is a special treat for every child who attends.
