Junior Bible Quiz (JBQ) offers a fun exciting way to motivate children to understand the all-important truths of God’s Word. Through cooperative learning, children work together on teams to learn and understand and questions and answers concerning Biblical truths. Then using competition, the children meet monthly with other teams throughout the state for a fun quizzing match.
Since its beginning in 1949, BGMC has enabled our missionaries to get the supplies they need in order to spread the gospel and reach the world. BGMC teaches kids about the needs around the world. Kids will want to respond. Jesus commanded us to reach out to those less fortunate.

Promiseland Promiseland serves our community by caring for children from birth through pre school, and operates during all services Sunday morning, Sunday evening, and Wednesday evening. Loving and caring hands help nurture and see to the needs of our youngest.
 The Promise Land facility is clean, with a high level of security. Each room is on a video monitor and workers and children are all kept at a set number and ratio. This including workers who been through a screening process and interview. Children in each age group are taught using age-appropriate materials as well as kid-friendly teaching techniques. We invite you to stop by and see Promiseland for yourself. The entrance is at the southwest corner of the main lobby. More than changing diapers we are changing lives!
The Filling Station We value children. It is our desire to assist you in guiding your children meet Jesus Christ and grow in their relationship with Him.
 In doing so, we seek to develop active learning environments that guide children to live effective lives. We offer a complete scope of age-appropriate curricula to systematically take your child through a complete study of God's Word from kindergarten through sixth grade. Children have the opportunity to worship together in large group ministry, meet in small group Bible classes, and participate in boys' and girls' clubs. We carefully select and train each of our teachers and leaders in order to help each child practically apply God’s Word to their daily life. Kids love the fun and excitement of The Filling Station Worship Gathering. Action-packed songs, eye-popping object lessons, and quirky characters teach kids about God’s great love. Every gathering is built to connect kids to God and to each other in meaningful ways. Elementary Sunday School is divided by grade level K–6th grade. Children participate in
 stories, learning activities and crafts that are engaging and age appropriate. Sunday School is a great small group learning time that allows children to build lasting relationships with other children and godly leaders. Children are a very important part of the Berean community. We believe kids of all ages should have loads of fun while they’re learning about God’s Word, developing meaningful friendships, and taking their first steps toward Christian maturity. And Berean offers lots of resources specifically designed to help parents, too! Check out the Filling Station Blog! Mpact  Mpact Girls Clubs are for girls grades K-6, and meet each Wednesday evening from 7:00 - 8:30 PM. Mpact provides an environment of support and accountability while helping girls to develop their gifts and abilities. In addition, girls build lifelong relationships with mentors who encourage girls to be spiritual leaders in their homes and communities.For more information: http://missionettes.ag.org/ Royal Rangers  Royal Rangers Boys Clubs also meet Wednesday evenings from 7:00 - 8:30 PM. Boys grades K-6 are challenged to embark on an adventure that requires them to participate actively. It is a spiritual journey that will forge their character and maximize their leadership potential. To the uneducated eye, boys are just learning survival skills in the wilderness, playing sports, producing a music video, repairing the home of an elderly person, etc., but in the process, our mentors are intentional about laying biblical foundations of worldview, culture, manhood, and leadership. By awarding merit badges, boys are guided on a measurable, personal, and spiritual growth process. (They think they are just having fun, so let's keep that our secret!)
