SHBC Kids!
At SHBC Kids, we’re passionate about partnering with parents at each phase of a child’s life to lead children towards a personal relationship with Jesus!
Welcome To SHBC Kids!
We create opportunities for kids to grow in their faith through Large Group Experiences, Engaging Activities, and Meaningful Small Groups where they connect with leaders and friends.
SHBC Preschool
We love getting to help little ones get their first view of their loving heavenly Father and His church! We teach our littlest ones 3 Basic Truths!
- God Made Me!
- God Loves Me!
- Jesus Wants to Be My Friend Forever!
SHBC Elementary
Building on their first foundations of faith learned in Preschool, our Elementary kiddos continue to grow in their faith just like Jesus did; in wisdom, stature & favor with God and man. Elementary learns these 3 Basic Truths!
- I Can Trust God No Matter What!
- I Need to Make the Wise Choice!
- I Should Treat Others the Way I Want to be Treated!

Check-IN
At the Kid’s Desk, you’ll be greeted by an SHBC Kids volunteer that can answer any questions! In order to check-in your child, we will need some information from you like Kiddo’s Name, Age, Address, Phone Number & any special instructions. We value safety and that’s why we have a secure check-in system. You will be given matching security tags. Your child will wear their name tag sticker and you will have the matching tag to be shown upon pick-up. From there, our volunteers and staff will show your kiddo where to go and introduce you to their leader.

Next Steps:
Baby Dedication
When you dedicate or present your child to the Lord you are doing 4 things… you are CONFIRMING your love for the Lord; you are CLARIFYING ownership- your child belongs to God and is His gift to you; you are COMMITTING to raise your child as God would have you to do according to Scripture; you are PARTNERING with your church as your “spiritual village,” to be a strong influence in your child’s life toward becoming a Christian and following Christ.

Ready to Follow Jesus:
Are you ready to follow Jesus and put your hope and trust in Him? It’s as easy as A, B, C!
A. Admit
Admit that you have made wrong decisions and that you are a sinner. Romans 3:23 “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
B. Believe!
Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and He lived a sinless life. Believe that He died on the cross to forgive your sins. Acts 16:31 “They replied, believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved…”
C. Choose!
Choose to accept Christ as your personal savior. God doesn’t force anyone to be a Christian. You must make the choice for yourself. You can make the choice to ask Jesus into your heart and allow Him to be your Lord and guide you in all your decisions. Joshua 24:15 “Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…”
Pray a simple prayer. It could be like:
Dear Jesus, I admit that I have made wrong choices and am a sinner. I believe that you came to earth and died on the cross for my sins. Today I choose to ask you in my life. I want you to be my best friend and help me every day. I love you, Jesus. Amen!
Baptism
We are excited that you are interested in baptism for your child! If your child has made the decision to follow Jesus & they have a personal relationship with Him, they can take the next step by being baptized. We offer a baptismal class for kids to learn what baptism means, answer questions and help them feel confident in their decision. A parent or guardian attends the class with them.
For more information or to sign your child up for the next baptismal class, email Michelle.
