Children

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14

We want the children of SSBC to have a deeply rooted confidence in the character of God so they passionately follow Him through good and bad times. Our hope is to partner with parents in the discipleship of their children by providing environments, curriculum and resources that center on the gospel and teach the nature and character of God. 

Hallelujah Kidz

Does your child love to sing?  Hallelujah Kidz is perfect for them! Hallelujah Kidz is an incredible opportunity for children to learn and be exposed to the Gospel of Jesus through music.  Every week, these children have an opportunity to learn, rehearse, and then practice the music that they will be singing.  Each of the songs they will be singing references the Gospel and gives SSBC a chance to let your kids know about Jesus through music while also enjoying an amazing time with friends and snacks!

Hallelujah Kidz meets every Tuesday with the schedule listed below for their respective times.

3:00PM - 4:00PM Kinder-2nd Grade
4:00PM - 5:00PM 3rd-6th Grade

To ensure their safety,children participating in Hallelujah Kidz are picked up by a certified driver from SSBC AFTER you register them with their respective schools and you can pick them up immediately following rehearsals on Tuesday evenings.

The form for registration is available simply by clicking the link below and printing the page.  After filling it out, please return the form (read and signed by you of course) to SSBC.  (Southside will then notify the particular school of your child's participation in Hallelujah Kidz) 

Awan Clubs

What is AWANA? AWANA is a place where kids spend time learning and worshipping through games, songs, stories and study during the week on Wed. nights. It is an opportunity for children ages 3 and up to come and learn about the character and nature of God. The material for AWANA is centered solely on the Gospel and give children the chance to learn how God is evident in all areas of their lives, and to show them the Jesus of the Gospel and His love for them. We want to develop in them a passion for following Jesus both in good times and in bad. Our hope is that as they walk away from Awana on a Wednesday night, they will understand the depth of the love of God, the forgiveness of their sin through Jesus' sacrifice, and the opportunity they have to impact the world they live in, YES even at their age making much of Jesus.

Awanas meets on Wednesday nights at 6:00 P.M and runs til 7:30 P.M. If you're visiting for the first time, you will need to fill out a registration card to receive their materials and then feel free to head into the main Worship Center for MidWeek (our MidWeek worship at SSBC) to worship with us in glorifying God through music and diving into Scripture. If you have children that are nursery age, feel free to drop them off in the nursery and then join us!
