Derwood Bible Church provides a Sunday School ministry for children ages 3 years old through 5th grade.
Visitors and Guests: To get started create an account here. When you come Sunday morning, please stop by the Check-In table to the left of the front doors of the main building in order to check in. You can always register your child on a Sunday morning as well.
The KidZone staff seeks to ensure that each child feels valued and welcomed, leaving each week knowing that God loves him or her and has a wonderful plan for their life. Our purpose is to support parents as they share the gospel and disciple their children. We want parents to know what their children are learning and provide resources to review the content in the context of normal family life.
Teachers work with our director of children's ministry to deliver the message of Jesus Christ in fresh, innovative and exciting ways that engage the children.
Classes are grouped by age and grade. Three and four-year-olds are together and K-5th graders are together. After participating in praise and worship with their families in the auditorium, children are dismissed to their KidZone classes.
Preschool
The classroom is located off the foyer in the main building. Parents escort their children to the Panda classroom when they are dismissed and pick them up at the same location after the service.
Pandas 3-year-olds
Lions 4-year-olds
Kindergarten & Elementary (1st-5th grade)
The classroom is located in the auditorium of the small building. Teachers will meet their students in the foyer and escort them to the building right next door. Parents will pick up their children in the small building auditorium after the service.
Kindergarten -5th Grade
Children older than 5th grade attend the service with their families.
