Children (1st-5th Grade)
It is our desire that through all of our ministry programs and activities in the children's area that each child will feel loved and valued. In Sunday School, we have dedicated teachers who focus on the child's needs and make their experience on Sunday meaningful and special. For your peace of mind, and safety concerns, all our workers have passed extensive background checks.
Our most important goal in our teaching time is to begin laying the spiritual foundations that will point your child in the direction of discovering who Jesus Christ is as Lord and Savior.
Mission Statement
Rockdale Baptist Church seeks to lead children to discover the truth in God's Word by providing Biblical teaching and programs that develop a lifetime relationship with Jesus Christ.

Sunday School
Age graded classes focus on the big picture of the Bible as the concept of the Gospel is presented each week. All our children’s classes use The Gospel Project curriculum.
CWKids
Because we believe that parents are the primary disciplers of their children. We think it is
important that children see their parents model worship for them. CWKids encourages 1st
through 5th grades to participate in Worship with their families during the main worship time
and then dismisses the children for a age appropriate Bible lesson during the sermon time. We
currently meet in the “HANGER”, (room 201) upstairs on the children’s hallway. If you are new,
we invite you to walk with your child as we line up to dismiss during the greeting time of our
worship service because we want you to feel comfortable knowing where your child is at all
times.
After service, Parents you can feel free to visit a Sunday School class knowing that your child is
safely in a Sunday School classroom on the same hallway as you left them. If for some reason
you are not staying for Sunday School you may pick up your child on the children’s hallway
someone will be there to assist you.
If you prefer to keep your child with you we honor that. Parents please know that there is no
expectation for your child to sit perfectly still in service. We love families and expect little ones
to do their fair share of wiggling. During the early portion of the service there is lots of
interaction and standing, perfect for children who have difficulty sitting. If needed, we do offer
activity bags in the foyer, to help keep them busy and focused. An usher will be happy to help
you.

Faith Commitment- Decision Classes
Parents we believe you are key to helping your children understand the faith. We provide opportunity for you to learn how to share the Gospel with your children and classes that teach what it means to surrender to Gods call of salvation.
Preteen Passage
January or February each year we offer an opportunity for parents to learn about what it means to be a teenager and how they can talk to their preteens about expectations. This interactive seminar helps families set the trajectory for their children to have a spiritually healthy adolescence.
