Southside Baptist Church, Athens, AL

There is much excitement to be found in our children’s ministries and it’s all centered on Christ and the Scriptures. We strive to maximize every moment we have with your children.

Sunday School:

Your children have the opportunity to attend Sunday School classes designed for their age group each Sunday morning. Each teacher is equipped with knowledge of the Scriptures and a love for Christ. This combination offers your children an effective atmosphere in which to engage with Scriptures, peers and teachers in order to increase in the knowledge of God’s Truth. The Lord has blessed our church with an amazing line-up of Sunday school teachers who faithfully teach the gospel as revealed in Scripture. We want your children to have the blessing of being saturated with Biblical truth as they progress through each class.

Wednesday nights:

Wednesday nights consist of a combination of Children in Action missions’ emphasis and Bible Truths: Scripture Adventures. Your child will learn about God’s global purpose of redemption (whether it is home or foreign). Also, your child will learn that they can be part of missions on a daily basis through prayer, in addition to having opportunities for local mission activities. During our Bible Truths time your child will be lead to read and study Biblical truth as they discover the beauty of the glory of the grace of God.

During each moment we have with your children, we encourage prayer and Scripture memory. Our zeal is a result of God’s transformational work in our own lives and having tasted that His Word is sweeter than honey. We desire greatly for your children to taste God’s revelation of Jesus Christ through The Word at a young age and find it to be sweeter than anything else this world can offer. Our prayer is that your children will find that their supreme joy is receiving Jesus as Savior and following Him as their King.
