Children's MinistriesBainbridge FUMC has a dynamic and engaging children’s ministry. We desire for all children to experience the life-changing power of Christ. We have Sunday morning activities for preschool ages through 5th grade. In the “Children’s” area of our website, you’ll find more information about our children’s activities, along with choir opportunities under the “Music Ministry” menu.
As part of the United Methodist Church, Bainbridge FUMC is Safe Sanctuaries compliant. Kidz Quest!
KidzQuest is this weekend! This fall retreat for students in 3rd-6th grades is sponsored by South Georgia’s Connectional Ministries and brings so much energy (and noise!) to the grounds of Epworth By The Sea. Five hundred children and adult leaders come together with dozens of other church groups, learning how to worship, study God's Word, and understand what a relationship with Jesus really means. Amidst beautiful coastal scenery, these children are given an opportunity to experience Christ in brand new ways! Remember our kids as they enjoy this special trip! |
Playground Equipment
The new playground equipment was installed March 18, 2019. Stop by and check it out. |
Sunday Mornings

At Bainbridge FUMC, we desire to nurture your child, assisting you in bringing them to a solid understanding of what it means to be a Christian. We focus on who God is and how he interacts with each of us.
Similar to our blended approach of traditional and contemporary worship styles, our children’s ministries combine various formats for Sunday School and a more contemporary format for Children’s Walk Out during worship service. |
The following classes are available:

Sunday Evenings - Children's Fellowship
Sunday evenings, children, 1st grade through 5th grade are invited to join in a time of fellowship and learning. Come join in various studies throughout the year discovering God's Word and how to make him come alive in your heart and life. We begin at 5:00 p.m. with Snack Supper and move at 5:30 p.m. to begin our study and fellowship time.

Bainbridge FUMC has a fully staffed nursery with quality caretakers providing a fun and nurturing environment for children, from infants to 3 years old. The nursery is open for all worship services and outside activities as needed. Located in “Gladtown” (children’s ministries building), parents can easily drop off their children before services.

Summer Camps at Epworth By The Sea
2019 Summer Camps at Epworth By The Sea
Don’t miss out on the opportunity for your child to spend a week away from normal everyday life in the beauty of God’s creation with people who seek to share Christ in the everyday. Register today for Camp Connect, the camping ministry of the South Georgia Conference.
With an “Upside Down” theme this summer, a week at Camp Connect will teach campers how to turn the world upside down for Jesus. Diving into scripture and sharing life stories will show them they can make an impact for Christ in their own schools and communities.
“My prayer, as each camper registration comes through, is that everyone will have the opportunity to encounter Christ in a powerful, life-changing way during their week at camp,” said Suzanne Akins, Camp Director. “There is something so rare and unique about shutting down technology, looking eye to eye with people, sharing meals, laughing, playing, and worshipping together day after day, night after night.”
Each morning at camp begins with a Morning Show, an interactive, high-energy gathering with music, skits, and announcements for the day. From there, each team's day is filled with swimming, marsh walks, trips to the beach, fishing, Bible studies, art, and indoor/outdoor games. Each evening is a camp-wide activity bringing out the best of competitions. Camp closes each night with a worship service of meaningful skits, powerful music, testimonies, and relevant speakers.
College students who are committed to serving Christ through working with children and youth during the summer are the full-time camp counselors. Each staff member has been interviewed by the Camp Ministry Team, passed a background check, attended 10 days of training, and is supervised by Camp Director Suzanne Akins.
Each week of summer camp costs $315. Here are the dates for this year’s camps:
Elementary Camps for students entering grade 4-5
Session 1: July 8-12 (registration deadline June 24)
Session 2: July 15-19 (registration deadline July 1)
