Meet the dedicated Kids Ministry team at Gayton Baptist, committed to guiding and supporting our families in their faith journeys.

Gayton Kids is a ministry for children from birth through 5th grade and their families to help children grow in their relationship with God by inciting wonder, provoking discovery, and by fueling passion. We seek share and teach timeless Biblical truths while considering the needs of every child.

We would love to welcome your family to be a part of Gayton Kids!

Gayton Kids Ministry staff and volunteers partner with families to raise disciples who passionately follow Jesus.

We will make it safe

We will share Jesus with passion.

We will bring the fun!

We will connect with families.

• ARRIVAL: Your family and child will be greeted at the front door by our Greeting Team. The greeters and helper at the Welcome Desk will help you find our Nursery Care, Preschool Church, and Elementary Kids classrooms, all of which are located on the same floor (in our upstairs Education Wing).

• CLASSES:
• Nursery (Rm. 210-212): Our nursery is a special place for infants and toddlers, from birth to 3 years, to play and be cared for by our loving volunteers. 
• Preschool Church (Rm. 228): On Sunday mornings, our Preschool Church volunteers lead children ages 3 to PreK in understanding that God made them, God loves them, and Jesus wants to be their friend forever. These 3 "big ideas," as well as age-appropriate weekly Bible points, are reinforced in pre- and post- worship small group activities, including a monthly Bible memory verse complete with motions that help make it "stick" for our youngest disciples.
• Elementary Kids Worship: (Rm. 230): On Sunday mornings, elementary-aged kids engage in a fun, compelling worship service designed just for them. In Elementary Kids Worship , we seek to engage elementary schoolers to grow up understanding that they can make wiser choices, build stronger relationships, and develop a deeper authentic faith. We weave worship music, Bible stories, small group activities, video experiences and more to reinforce one clear and simple bottom line each week, so kids can walk away and remember what matters most.

• PROGRAMMING: We offer programming during both the 10 AM Worship Hour and the 11 AM Bible Study Hour, with the exception of 5th Sundays and certain holiday weekends throughout the year. Please be sure to subscribe/refer to The Glance (our weekly digital newsletter) for updates.

• PLAY TIME: Preschoolers and Elementary Schoolers have a special time to visit our indoor play structure, the Treehouse, during the 11 AM hour.

*Upon your family's first visit, we ask you to complete a registration form onsite or pre-register online. The form provides some basic contact info for us to have on hand in the event of an emergency.

Miss a Sunday morning, revisit a previous message, or see firsthand what your child is learning?

Our private Gayton Kids Facebook Group offers two weekly worship experiences (one for preschoolers and one for elementary schoolers) that include worship songs, Bible stories, videos and lots of fun!

We are excited to offer Kids Ministry programming for discipleship and fellowship throughout the year! Please check out The Glance or the monthly Kids Min newsletter for the most up-to-date information about the upcoming Kids Ministry opportunities.
