Children's Ministries

We believe strongly in ministering to children. 
Take a look at these statistics from Child Evangelism Fellowship:

                1%    of people accept Christ before age 4
                85% of people accept Christ from ages 4 – 13
                10%  of people accept Christ from ages 14-30
                4%    of people accept Christ after age 30

Wow!  Most people that get saved make that decision as a child!  These statistics tell us that children’s ministry is invaluable!  As a result, we offer a variety of ministries for the use of evangelism and discipleship in the lives of children.

Regular Weekly Ministries For Children:

Children’s Sunday School
We offer Sunday School classes for every age.  Our Sunday School hour includes singing, prayer time, exciting opening presentations, and faithful teaching of God’s Word.  We mainly use Bible teaching curriculum from Regular Baptist Press.  A distinguishing feature of Colonial’s Sunday School is a dedicated staff with long tenure.  Some of our adults have ministered to our children for over 25 years.  Our Sunday School also provides various outside activities and parties throughout the year.

Wednesday Night Kids 4 Truth Clubs

Kids 4 Truth(http://kids4truth.com/hometwo.asp) is our children’s program that takes place on Wednesday nights and runs throughout the school year (last week in August  through May).  The program runs from 7:00pm until 8:15pm.  Kids 4 Truth’s motto says, “It’s all about God.”  The club is focused around 12 doctrines of the faith and carefully instructs the children in these vital doctrines.  We do this through Bible lessons, memorizing Scripture and important Bible terms, and review in a small group setting.  The club also involves singing, and game time.  The clubs main goals are evangelism and discipleship, but we sure do have a blast in the meantime!

Seasonal Ministries For Children:

Wednesday Night Summer Programs
During the summer, we have children’s clubs that span across 12 weeks or so, until the next Kids 4 Truth year begins.  Each summer, the program is built around a Biblical theme (ie. Missions, the Local Church, etc.).  The program runs from 7:00pm until 8:00pm and includes singing, Bible lesson time, guest speakers, and game time. 

Neighborhood Bible Time:
Colonial has used Neighborhood Bible Time almost every year since about 1981.  It is similar to Vacation Bible School, but we like to affectionately refer to it as “Vacation Bible School on steroids.”  J  It normally takes place the first full week in August and is the most exciting week for children possible.  It involves a well-trained evangelist, exciting stories, Gospel illusions, songs, prizes, food, games, contests, opportunities for awards, and loads of fun.  Over the years, we have seen many children place their faith in Jesus Christ as a result of Neighborhood Bible Time.

Children’s Rally
Our annual Colonial Children’s Rally is a one-day event that is usually held on one Saturday in September.  This is a very special evangelistic outreach to the children of our community.  We rent special game equipment, have a special speaker, and invite tons of children to come.  This is a real high light of our children’s ministry where numbers of children have accepted Christ as Savior.
