NextGen Kids

Helping kids discover God’s love through engaging teaching and activities.

NextGen Kids

We know how crucial it is to build trust with parents and kids. As your child grows up, our goal is to help them understand something special: that God made them and loves them. Our NextGen Kids Ministry is an engaging, safe, and fun place where God's stories come alive. Your child will have a blast, learn cool stuff, play, explore, grow, feel lots of love, and might not want to leave—it's that awesome!

What to Expect

What to Expect

We would love for you to join us on Sunday morning. We have NextGen Kids classes at 9:00 am and 10:30 am. There are classes for babies through 5th grade in the kids’ hallway, each with engaging and interactive, developmentally appropriate activities and lessons. When you arrive, we will ask for some information to register your child in our secure check-in system. Your kids’ safety is our number one priority! We require all NextGen Kids volunteers to pass a background check and utilize a secure check-in system. We want your child to be comfortable, so come as you are to church!

Midweek

Midweek

Your kiddo will not want to miss MidWeek! On Wednesdays from 6:00-7:30, our NextGen Kids have another opportunity to connect with God, their friends, and some amazing volunteers. They will spend time singing, learning, and playing in a high-energy environment. While they’re with us, parents can jump into a Bible Study in the adult hallway. There really is something for everyone!

Frequently Asked Questions

At FBC Waxahachie, your child’s safety is our top priority. Our on-site security team includes active and former police officers, firefighters, nurses, and military personnel who are trained to respond to a variety of situations. We follow detailed emergency procedures and maintain secure classroom environments to ensure every child is safe and cared for while in our ministry.

Yes! Each volunteer must undergo a thorough background check and training before being allowed to serve with NextGen Ministries.

We have several iPads available to check in your child(ren) at the front of the NextGen kids doors. Just ask a helpful volunteer at the desk to show you! Each child will have a tag with a secure number on it; each parent will receive a tag with the same number. You must show the numbers match in order to check out your child at the end of service.

Each Sunday, your child will discover how much God loves them through age-appropriate Bible stories, worship, fun activities, and meaningful discussions. Our goal is to help every child know three core truths: God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever!

We have snacks available if your child is hungry, and will generally have a designated snack time. You're also welcome to bring a lunchbox of food/snacks for your child in their backpack or diaper bag.

To help keep everyone healthy, we ask that you please keep your child home if they’re showing any signs of illness. If a child develops a fever of 100.1°F or higher while in our care, we will kindly notify you during the service so you can come and pick them up. Thank you for helping us create a safe and healthy environment for all our kids and volunteers!
