Road trips are a great way to build strong relationships and create indelible memories. This makes Road Trip VBS not only a fun experience for kids, but also an opportunity for them to strengthen their faith and bond with others in their community. With engaging activities, interactive games, and meaningful lessons, children will have a blast while they grow in their understanding of God's love and promises for everyone.
Children's Ministries
Family Ministries of Katy First equips and empowers children and families to grow together as joyful disciples of Jesus Christ.
Nursery – 9:30am to Noon – Located in the Education Building, Room 106.
Nursery is available for infants and toddlers, generally three year olds and younger, during the Sunday school hour and throughout worship. Our nursery staff are experienced preschool teachers and are also safe-sanctuary trained and background checked. At drop-off your child will be greeted by our nursery staff and invited to play with age-appropriate toys. Feel free to send any preferred snacks or beverages for your child that might help them feel more comfortable and we also keep a variety of snacks on hand. You will sign your child in when you arrive, letting us know about any particular needs or wants, as well as any allergies. We will also ask you to provide your location (ie Sunday school class) and your cell number so that we can call you, if necessary. For any questions about nursery please contact our Pastor of Family Ministries, Rev. Becca Newcomb at
Sunday School – 9:45am to 10:45am
Children ages 4- 5th graders meet for Sunday school on the first floor of the Education building. We currently use the Celebrate Wonder curriculum through Cokesbury Kids.
Katy First Kids – 11:00am to Noon – Check in at the Sanctuary Connection Area
Our Katy First Kids program is an age-appropriate time of Bible study and fun that allows our kids to participate in the beginning of worship and then go into their own time of discipleship together. Children, ages 4 through current 5th graders, are released from the Sanctuary service after the children's message and escorted by our Katy First Kids leaders and volunteers to the Fellowship Hall. On communion Sundays, the first Sunday of each month, students will be released before the beginning of the sermon and brought back to the sanctuary in time to take communion with their families. During Katy First Kids, children will learn about a Bible story either through storytelling or a video. They will read and hear scripture passages and participate in a short interactive message. After our study time together children will have a chance to enjoy a snack and some time to play games or create art. Each child needs to be registered for Katy First Kids in the Connection Center of the Sanctuary or in the Fellowship Hall Kitchen. Please use name tags stickers at the check-in table. Activities will be appropriate for children four years old and older. All of our leaders and adult volunteers are safe-sanctuary trained and background checked. Parents are welcome to come and participate at any time.
Children of any age are always wanted and welcome in worship! The noise and wiggles of kids is a blessing to all of us. There are age appropriate, interactive worship bulletins and crayons for children at Katy First Kids registration table. If you need to step out for any reason, the worship service is broadcast in the Connection Center.
