In the preschool years, birth – K5, a child will form their first impression of God’s love. The FBJ Preschool Ministry partners with parents to create a safe, engaging, and inspiring environment where children are taught that God made them, God loves them, and that Jesus wants to be their friend forever.

Preschool activities take place in The Hive, located on the first floor of the Main Building.

Check-In

The Hive lobby has two check-in options. If your child is currently on a class roll, check your child in at the Self Check In stations to the right of the Welcome Desk. If your child is a new or returning guest, we will be glad to check your child in at the Preschool Welcome Desk. Once you have your child’s name/security tags, take them to the classroom listed on their tag.

Curriculum

• Birth – 1-year-olds are taught our monthly basic truths through music and age level activities, and are cared for by our wonderful volunteers.
• At 9:00 a.m., 2-year-olds – K5 are introduced to the week’s lesson through activities with their age level. At 9:15 a.m., they make their way to the Worship Room for our Preschool Worship Rally where they engage and interact with our Rally host and puppet friends through music, learning the monthly memory verse, our offering prayer, and Bible Story overview. After the Rally, they return to their classrooms for snack, Bible Story, and life application activities and crafts.
• During the Worship Service, 2-year-olds – K4 will continue their lesson through games, a video of our Bible story with our curriculum’s mascot, Ollie, and the other clubhouse friends, and playtime in one of our age-level playrooms.
• We utilize Orange’s curriculum, entitled First Look, for FBJ Preschool on Sunday mornings. Each month a new theme, basic truth, and verse are learned and explored.
