Faith Bible Church’s Bible Explorers is our new Sunday evening Children's Ministry program designed to help children memorize Scripture and grow in their knowledge of God’s Word. Through age-appropriate lessons, Scripture memory verses, and engaging activities, children build a strong biblical foundation while enjoying a fun, safe, and welcoming environment. Bible Explorers is open to all children age 2 (by September 1, 2025) through 6th grade and will be held on select Sundays throughout the 2025-2026 school year.
