Kids Ministry

At The Benton Church, we are committed to helping kids know Jesus and understand the Scriptures in engaging, enriching, and age-appropriate ways. Our primary gatherings for kids are Kids Church and AWANA.

At Kids Church (10:30am on Sunday mornings), children participate in a fun opening activity/game, a Scripture-based lesson with video, interactive teaching where they play a part in the teaching of the story, and small group time to help them process and apply what they’ve learned. Kids Church is divided into two age-based rooms: Early Childhood (3-year-olds through 1st grade) and Upper Childhood (2nd through 6th grade).

At AWANA (6:00pm on Wednesday nights), kids grow in Scripture memory, biblical understanding, and discipleship in a high-energy, engaging environment. AWANA is not only focused on learning God’s Word, but also on fun, friendships, and helping every child know they belong.
At 9:30am, kids can also gather at "Kids World", our elementary-aged small group.

Throughout the year, we host pop-up movie nights, camps, and other special events. A trained church security team is present at all kids events and services to help ensure a safe and welcoming environment for every child.

What are your values?
Loving Like Jesus, Learning About Jesus, Living Like Jesus, Empowering Parents, A Safe & Fun Environment.
Can I serve with my kids?
Absolutely! In fact, we love when families serve together—it’s a great way to grow in faith side by side.
How do you keep my kids safe?
All volunteers are background checked, and every room includes at least one SafeGatherings-certified adult. We follow the “Rule of Two” (two unrelated adults present at all times), and our kids’ areas are monitored by video cameras. Our trained church security team is also present every Sunday. Safety is a big deal to us—ask to see our full policy anytime!
What is a Child Dedication?
Child Dedication is a special service where parents and our church family commit together to raise your special child to know and follow Jesus. It’s a joyful moment of prayer, blessing, and celebration!
What is there for my kid when he or she goes into 7th grade?
They’re invited to join TBC Youth! The summer between 6th and 7th grade, they’re welcome to most kids and youth events to help with the transition.
