Where Kids Learn & Grow in Their Faith

Southside Kids is designed solely for the purpose of helping children know, love, and follow Christ. Our Kids’ Ministry is deeply committed to seeing kids reached with the Gospel. We believe children are very capable of understanding the truths of the Gospel and have the ability to repent of their sin and trust Christ for their salvation.

We help children learn foundational truths from God’s Word each week through intentional, age-appropriate Bible studies and activities and by partnering with parents to help equip them to disciple their children.

We provide childcare for ages 6 weeks to 2 year olds and age-graded Bible classes for kids 2 years old – 6th grade during all weekly service times. These fun and high-energy classes are led by trained and committed volunteers who share our vision and passion for kids.

YOUR FIRST VISIT

YOUR FIRST VISIT

First time guests are encouraged to stop by the Welcome Center for more information about our Preschool and Kids Ministry. We understand dropping your child off in a new environment can be an overwhelming experience and we want to make the transition as easy as possible. When you arrive, you will be asked to fill out a Guest Information card. Once that is completed, a staff member or volunteer will walk you and your child to their classroom where you will meet their teacher and see their classroom. We use a digital check-in procedure that provides your child with a label so that their teachers and caregivers will always have allergy and emergency contact information readily available.

AGE GROUPS

9:00  SMALL GROUPS & 10:15 WORSHIP

We believe in active and hands-on learning experiences with our busy preschoolers.  From the time they walk through the door, they will enjoy a variety of activities that center around their Bible Story for the day.  Children will participate in learning activities, crafts, music, games and more as they learn about Jesus’ love for them.  Preschoolers are invited to stay downstairs in the preschool wing for an additional hour of Preschool Worship as their parents attend worship.  Birth – 4 year olds will stay in the preschool area, while K-6th graders will be dismissed from the worship service following music to attend Children’s Worship on the kids’ hallway on the 2nd floor.

Wednesday Night  HyFi

6pm-7pm

Wednesdays are a time of discipleship for our pre-k-1st & 2nd-6th at Southside Baptist.  We created a ministry unique to Southside called Southside Kids, where they learn to place their identity in Christ through the message, music, small groups and crafts.  Our time of Bible teaching involves tons of fun making the lesson engaging and memorable.  This ministry helps develop within our kids a love for God’s Word and hearts to serve Christ. We offer childcare for birth-2 year olds.

Sunday Small Groups 

Sundays 9am | K-6th

Our Elementary Kids are studying through the Bible each week using a gospel-centered curriculum.  This study helps kids understand the entire story of Scripture and how each story points to our Savior. Sunday small groups create community, biblical understanding, and lots of fun! 

Kids Worship 

Sundays 10:15 | K-6th

Kids worship happens each week during the main service. Our kids start in the main worship service getting an opportunity to worship alongside mom and dad. Just before preaching kids in grades K-6th head out for Kids worship! In kids worship we learn all about the spiritual disciplines that shape the way we think and live! Each week is tied into our Sunday small group curriculum for reinforced learning. 

Wednesday Night HyFi

Wed 6-7 pm | 2nd-6th grade

Wednesday nights are for kids who want to have fun and for parents who want their kids grounded in God's Word. Southside Kids gathers each week for games, a Bible story, small groups by age, and rec time. The goal is simple: kids grow spiritually and genuinely enjoy every minute of it.

Hang-Time

Wednesdays 4:30-6 | During School Year Only

Before Wednesday night kicks off, 4th–6th graders get a head start. Hang-Time is a casual, fun hour for older kids to just be together — whether that’s a game of wiffle ball, s’mores around a fire, or whatever we’ve cooked up that month. It’s a simple way for your kid to build real friendships at Southside Baptist.

Family Worship

The Last Sunday of Every Month

Once a month, we skip the usual and do something better - families worship together. On the last Sunday of each month, kids stay in the main service with their parents instead of heading to Kids Worship. It's an opportunity to see that discipleship starts with our families first!
