CHILDREN'S MINISTRY |
||
 Our
preschool department is designed for children birth-kindergarten. We offer
Sunday School, Mission Friends, Choir, AWANA Cubbies and more so that
Preschoolers will have a home for their heart at Parkway Baptist Church. This
age group gets more than a snack, crafts and puzzles. It is where the
groundwork is laid for a simple, emerging faith. It’s about exploring the world
through tasting, touching, moving and watching the world. It’s discovering
Bible stories about God’s people and His special love. It’s about questions
-“Who is God?”…”Where is heaven?” and “What is church?” Most importantly, it is
knowing that each of us is wonderfully made and treasured by God.

| CHILDREN’S DIVISION | ||
|
The Children’s Division consists of children in grades first through sixth. Our
desire is to love and We have four fellowships per year. The summer fellowship is a swimming party, fall is a campout, winter is making valentines for the nursing home, and the spring fellowship is a trip to Astroworld. Each event is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with Christian friends and invite others to join us. Each year we do two service projects. During the months of June through November we collect items for Operation Christmas Child, of Samaritans Purse, an organization endorsed by Franklin Graham. At our annual campout we fill boxes with these items for the children they will be going to around the world. Our other project is a food drive for the Church Pantry in Bryan. We collect canned goods from December through May. We believe it is important to teach the children to be servants for the Lord and to help others.
Through love, service, prayer, and fellowships the teachers seek to teach the children about Jesus and His love for them. The teachers strive to help them grow daily with the Lord and to help them hold fast to their relationship with Him. |

| CHILDREN’S SERMON | ||

Proverbs 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. For more information about this Parkway Ministry, email children@pbccs.org |

nurture these children the way Jesus would have us. We pray daily for the
salvation of each child! We plant the seeds of salvation so God can water them
and help them to grow.
In
the summer we take children that have completed first through third grade to
Highland Lakes Children’s Camp for two days. During a different week the fourth
through sixth graders go to the same location for Pre-Teen Camp lasting four
days. At camp the children are taught to work on their personal relationship
with Jesus Christ, and often come home with a renewed desire to seek the Lord
and to follow Him more closely. This excitement is a blessing to see.
Each
Sunday morning during the worship service, there is a 
special time for the children in the congregation to come to the front and hear
a short message/story prepared for their understanding. It always proves to be
an enlightening time for both the children and the adults.
