Children

Our Children's Ministry includes a Sunday Morning program called "Kid's Own Worship" during the 10 am service and a Wednesday night Word of Life Club "Olympians" at 6 pm.  Check the information below.



KOW Ministry Team Leaders: 
Week 1 – Claudia Folsom (716) 478-9354 and Amanda Fowler
Week 2 – Ed and Mary Bugay (716) 930-8878
Week 3 – Mary Jane Ortman (716) 531-2718 and Jamie Pieszala
Week 4 – Bob and Bethany Revell (716) 531-5467
Week 5 – NO KOW children will have the opportunity to worship with the church family.
Attention Church Family:    If you are willing to be a helper on one of the ministry teams please contact Mary Bugay for more details.  We would love to talk with you and answer any questions you have.   Please pray for the KOW Ministry Team as we teach your children the Word of God.  All our workers must be willing to take the child prevention training offered right here at NFBC.
During the summer quarter we trust that our children’s heart will be thrilled as they journey back to the life of a few of the OT heroes:  Elisha, Naaman, Jonah, Isaiah, Josiah, Daniel, Nehemiah and Esther.  We pray that they will understand God’s power in their life.  The Bible tells us in Isaiah 40:31 that people who hope in the Lord will be given strength. Whatever our needs are, God will give us the strength to make it through when we trust in him.   
Please pray for the KOW ministry team as we encourage your children to weave faith into their life.   We pray that the lessons taught will pass from head knowledge of the Bible right into their heart and transform their life and ultimately your home.
We thank you for the opportunity that you give us to teach your children the Word of God.
