FCC Children's Ministry
WELCOME TO OUR 2022-23 PROGRAM YEAR!
Each week, Children will start in worship at 10 am, and will be dismissed to attend Children's Worship around 10:20 am. They will be escorted up to their special UPDATED rooms on the second floor of the Education Wing for their own Children's Worship, where they will encounter the stories of the Bible in creative and engaging ways that invite each child to WONDER! Children's Worship will end at 11:15 am (new time) and parents/guardians are asked to come to pick up their children from their rooms.
FOLLOWING WORSHIP ON SEPTEMBER 11, everyone is invited to share fellowship time and our Children's Ministry Open House in the Education Wing. Come and see our updated spaces, meet our new staff (see below), and share rich fellowship!

I'd love to hear from you!
Please help us welcome Amie Laven,
Interim Children's Ministry Coordinator
Amie Laven has graciously agreed to step in this year to assist in Children’s Ministry! Amie has been a busy parent the last few years but was feeling God’s call to step back into the work force. Amie’s offer to assist with Children’s Ministry planted a seed that has grown over the last few weeks. We are grateful that she is willing to jump in as our Interim Children’s Ministry Coordinator. In this capacity, she will coordinate our volunteers, prepare lessons and supplies for Children’s Worship, and organize and refresh our Children’s Spaces. She has agreed to serve in this position throughout this program year.
Amie and her husband Dan have been members of FCC for five years and live in Flossmoor with their four daughters, Halena, Kendall, Braylin and Lourdes.
You can reach Amie to introduce yourself, volunteer to help,

FCC Children’s Ministries Vision
We have a passion to see children follow Jesus every day. Our Children’s Ministries are rooted in the concept that learning to follow Jesus must engage the imagination and hearts of children. FCC offers children creative learning environments, age appropriate teaching methods, worship that engages and inspires, and opportunities to confidently serve others.
Our Curriculum
We’re excited to share our new curriculum which builds on “Godly Play” ideas and coordinating visual pieces. Children will be led into a deeper dive of the day’s Bible story in a way which captivates their minds and leaves them with wonder in their hearts. Stories are paired with intentionally simple coordinating images. This approach encourages learners to process the story and imagine themselves as a part of God’s story, in which we all belong. And of course, like always, we’ll have fun! Each Sunday we’ll enjoy a creative activity corresponding with our lesson.
