Child Care
Child Care for our youngest children is available every Sunday in age-appropriate classrooms from 9 am-noon except on the first Sunday of the month when it is available from 10 am-noon. Our care-givers provide nurture, love, and safety to our children.

Sundays
Follow Me-Biblical Practices for Faithful Living
Sunday School - 10:00 a.m.
PreK-K in room 309
Grades 1-5 in room 402
Play and Worship in Childcare
For children too young to participate in Sunday School (or worship), Bayside offers Play and Worship for your toddler. The children use building blocks to make a road for Jesus’ triumphant entry, they rescue dolls from Daniel's Lion’s Den, and shake blue paper to sound like the stormy seas. Through their play, they learn that God helps them when they are afraid; they can trust God. We use objects from a preschooler's everyday world for play, fun, stories, and songs.

Weekday Activities
JAM
Every Wednesday evening during the months of September-May, children from kindergarten to fifth grade gather for a program called JAM, Jesus and Me.
We believe that the Bible should never be boring, that worship can be really loud, and that good leaders ALWAYS care. JAM is a children's ministries program where we want kids to see how God's word fits into their lives, to learn how to talk to God, and to build friendships that will last.
Here is the schedule:
5:15 - 5:45, Group Dinner in Fellowship Hall
5:45 - 6:20, JAM Opening in the Music Suite
6:20 - 7:00 Bible story, craft/activity
7:00 - 7:30, Games

Vacation Bible School
Each summer Bayside invites all children from the church and the community to participate in a week of fun and learning about Jesus. Each year Vacation Bible School has a different theme. In 2021 the theme was "Wilderness Escape." For 5 weekdays, usually the end of July, the church is transformed into a special place for children. They experience bible stories, crafts, songs, and games. Teenagers play a big part in making all the different events go smoothly throughout the week.
The sessions run from 9-11 am. The cost is $25 for each child and $10 for each additional child in a family. Generous scholarships are available for this program.
