Awana
Wednesdays
6:00 – 7:30 pm
Lake Ridge Baptist Church joins more than 12,000 churches in all 50 states with an AWANA program. At LRBC, AWANA is a ministry for kids ages 3 through 6th grade. The weekly program lasts 1 1/2 hours with a curriculum that takes students on an exciting journey through the Bible. There are weekly Bible studies and memory verses to apply to everyday life.
The PreK through sixth-grade program consists of three segments:
- Game Time allows volunteers to get to know kids while doing something fun and learning how to work together.
- Handbook Time, where kids meet with volunteer AWANA Leaders in small groups to help them work through and discuss their Handbook lessons, and memorize Bible verses.
- Large Group Time is a biblical lesson given by a single volunteer or a couple of teachers teaching on a rotating basis. It might include skits, role-playing, videos, and drama to make the lessons come alive.
Sunday Bible Study
Sundays
9 – 10:15 am
Connecting kids up through grade 4 to Jesus and a Jesus-loving adult! Kids are divided into age appropriate groups where they will walk through the Gospel Project and discover that the Bible is one big story about God’s plan of salvation.
Other Family Opportunities
Baby Dedications
A celebration of a significant milestone in the life of your family as you commit to raise your child in the Lord!
Our baby dedications seem a little different than your typical one. Why? We believe this is a perfect time to partner with parents and start helping them along the road of parenting. Special services for Baby Dedications take place in the fall and in the spring.
Summer Opportunities
CentriKid
CentriKid is our annual weeklong Kid Ministry summer camp for kids completing 3rd through 6th grade. Typically CentriKid is typically scheduled for June.
Vacation Bible School (VBS)
VBS is a week-long experience to connect kids and families in our community to Jesus! During this week kids will be immersed in the life-changing promises of Jesus Christ through activities, songs, and Bible stories. VBS is typically scheduled for late-July or early August.
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
