South Bay Kids

At SBK Elementary we believe the Bible should never be boring, worship can be really loud, and good leaders always care. Before kids head off to middle school, we want to make sure these three things stick out:

I need to make the wise choice.

I can trust God no matter what.

I should treat others the way I want to be treated.

The focus at SBK is our small group environment. We want kids to see how God’s Word fits into their lives, to learn how to talk to Him, and to build friendships that will last. That’s why we think it’s important to make sure each child connects with the same friends, the same leaders, as much as possible.

Children check in at the check in desk to receive their name tag. Children are greeted by their Small Group Leaders and go to their small group area. The children are led in brief small group activities until it is time for Large Group to begin.During Large Group, they are led in spirit-filled worship and hear a Bible story through lively skits and learn about the current month’s virtue. After large group, they return to their small group areas for further age-appropriate application of the lesson.
