We welcome you to the nursery at Southview Baptist Church. It is a privilege to serve God by caring for the smallest of His children. Our program consists of three rooms. Babies, age 1 month to 12 months, are cared for in the Little Lambs room. When babies reach 12 months of age and are steady walkers, they are promoted to the Darling Ducks room. At two years of age, toddlers are promoted to the Lively Lions room. In the Lively Lions room, children receive an age appropriate Bible lesson and participate in Bible learning activities. Our volunteers are a select group of individuals who care for God’s precious children and model a Christian attitude. We believe all children are an important part of the church; therefore, we strive to provide a loving, safe, and comfortable environment. The safety of the children in our care is very important to us. We follow specific guidelines and procedures developed to ensure that safety. Depending on age, a numbered security tag or beeper is assigned during check in and must be returned for check out. A viewing window is available in the babies’ room so parents may look in on their little one at anytime. Parents are also welcome to visit their child’s classroom at anytime to give that peace of mind that their child is being well cared for and is doing “alright.” A nursery is provided for all regular church services and for most special events.

In Discovery Kingdom, children ages 3 years to Kindergarten discover God and His Kingdom through music, age appropriate Bible lessons, and Bible activities. During Discovery Kingdom, children are always experiencing something new as each age group moves to 3 different settings which build upon the Bible theme for the day. In one setting they enjoy the Bible lesson told creatively. In another, they experience the lesson through a Bible craft which reinforces learning. The last setting is always a favorite as the children enjoy a delicious snack. This ministry meets at 9:30 on Sunday mornings in the preschool classrooms located in the children’s wing.

This is the KidsView small group ministry for preschoolers to Kindergarten. In Journey Kids Jr., children are discovering God and His truths. They are beginning to understand that God made them, loves them, and has a plan for their lives. Children learn during Journey Kids Jr. by experiencing dynamic Bible stories and hands on life application activities.
