Children’s Ministry

Nursery Ministry 

6 weeks - 3 years 

At FCC of Ramona, the purpose of the Nursery Ministry is to come alongside parents as they seek to raise their children in the love of Christ.  We seek to provide opportunities for children to be nurtured in God’s love, be involved in fellowship, and grow in their faith. The nursery is available during the 10am worship service every Sunday and it’s located in the education wing of the church.

“We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power and the wonders he has done…so that the next generation would know them. Even the children yet to be born…and they in turn would tell their children” Psalm 78:4b, 6a 

Weekly Sunday School 

We offer Sunday school for children age 3-5th grade every Sunday during our 10am worship service in the education wing of the church.

We teach using Bible-based lessons that include a Bible stories, crafts, games, prayer, & memorization. We focus not only on the Bible stories themselves but also how to apply these truths to their lives.  

 

Children’s Choir

Our Children’s Choir rehearsals are on Wednesday afternoons. We have a ton of fun and we actually learn a lot about music! It’s a great opportunity to learn, make friends, perform, and sing to God! To sign up, contact our Children & Youth Choir Director, Emily Whigham, at cychoir@fccramona.org.

 

V.B.S. 

By far our biggest event of the year is Vacation Bible School.  VBS is a wonderful outreach to the children of Ramona offered for one week each summer.  It is typically offered in the mornings one week in June or July.  We usually serve 100 students age preschool through 6th grade.  Each day children participate in a general session geared around the theme for the year; then they rotate to each of the following classes: Music, Bible story, Crafts, Recreation, Science and Snack. The Sunday following VBS is VBS Sunday and the children are invited to bring their families to church. The VBS children sing a couple of the songs they learned during VBS. This tremendous outreach utilizes about 40-50 volunteers. Additionally, members and attendees of the church donate at least half of the supplies needed to make this week a success.   Click here for information about this year’s VBS!

  

Promotion Sunday  

Our 1st graders very much look forward to Promotion Sunday each June when they receive a Bible of their very own.  In this very special service, the children are presented their Bible in front of the congregation so that our families can share in this special moment.
