What Does The 5/6 Do?

Each Sunday during the third service we hang out play some games, get to know each other, and talk about Scripture. We meet on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. in the gym to have snacks and play creative, team-building games! The 5/6 meets on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. and Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m.

AWANA registration is now open! AWANA meets Monday nights during the school year to engage in large-group teaching, small-group discipleship, and game time. At Village Church, AWANA engages Cubbies (Ages 3-4), Sparks (Grades K-2), and T&T (Grades 3-6).

Awana wouldn’t be possible without an amazing team of volunteers who pour into the kids each week! As a volunteer, you can sign up to serve with one of the age groups above, join the administration or special needs team, or fill in as a sub!

Next Gen: Making Young Disciples

October 5 |6:15 – 7:45 p.m. | Village Church of Bartlett

In this Making Young Disciples, we will be exploring how to move from chaos to calm by learning some new strategies for working with children using material developed by Faith Fully Included, with a focus on every child. Throughout the evening, we will walk through the developmental stages to understand what to expect from children at different ages, discuss management skills for establishing calm routines and environments, and wrap up with some time problem solving difficult situations that we might all encounter at one time or another. We hope you will join us!

It is our prayer that these resources will equip you to provide ongoing discipleship for the children and students in your home.
