Welcome to O'Fallon First Kids!O'Fallon First Kids Ministry serves infants through 5th grade children and their parents. We exist to serve children and families by faithfully teaching the gospel and demonstrating the love of Christ to all children, stirring in them the desire to trust, serve, worship, and obey God (Psalm 78:1-7) to serve others and share the Good news of Jesus (Matthew 28:19-20). Our mission is to partner with families to equip parents to lead their children to live their lives rooted in Christ, not just on Sundays, but every day.

Children's Church
We offer two services for families on Sunday mornings:
Traditional @ 8:30AM
Contemporary @ 10:45AM
After you have checked in your child, pop that sticker on, and find a seat for service. YOU, as parents/guardians, are your child's most influential leader in their spiritual life. We value the opportunity of showing even the littlest ones of our church what worship looks like! So, your child will start with you in worship, then there will be a brief children's moment at the front of the sanctuary where a leader of the church will share a short, sermon-related message with the kids. Then, a Children's Ministry leader at the back of the sanctuary will lead kids Kindergarten- 5th grade downstairs to their classroom for Children's church. PreK and younger can head to the Nursery!
Here your child will learn about the message you are hearing in the sanctuary in a way that applies to their life, taught at their level. We LOVE that each member of your family will be hearing the SAME message during services- it sure makes for easy car ride conversations on the way home!

Sunday School
At 9:40, we encourage families to get plugged in!
For the elementary kids, Sunday school takes place in Room 112 downstairs. This is a time for your kids to really dig deep into the Bible and learn stories that will push them to know who Jesus is and what it looks like to walk with Him. They will learn in fun, interactive ways through games, crafts, conversations, media, and more! Your child is sure to leave wanting to come back the next week for more!
If you, as a parent, are looking for a place to plug in, we offer Coffee Fellowship in the Fellowship Hall all morning long, where you are invited to sit back and relax with a cup of coffee and bagels. Or, ask us about how to get connected with an Adult Sunday school class!
