Children's Ministry
At Buffalo Free Children's, we continuously strive to provide a safe and engaging environment for kids to learn about who Jesus truly is. Each week, we learn a story from the Bible and then find practical ways to challenge and grow to be more like Jesus each day while building a lasting faith to withstand the years. We do this through engaging lesson times, activities, crafts, and worship.

Kick Off Sunday
September 7th
9:30 am & 11 am
Kids 4 years old through 5th grade are welcome to join us during the service in a kids-only space to hear a Bible story and do an activity to help it 'stick'.
At 11 am, we will begin a discipleship hour, allowing our kids to be a part of a Bible study group directed at their understanding. They will learn to study the Word, hide it in their hearts, and apply it to their everyday life.
