BGMC ROLL-A-THON is June 12th!

We have an exciting Summer Series for Kids Church!

We know summer is busy and we all want to get vacations, camping, etc. in while the sun is out, so, don't forget to bring your kids, friends & neighbors kids to OC Kids Church this summer!
It is going to be amazing! Don't miss out on ...

Lesson 1 - The Water into Wine (John 2:1-11)
The focus of the lesson is to show kids that Jesus meets small needs
just like He meets big needs. They can take any problem to Him.

Lesson 2 - A Dad Who Asked Jesus for Help (John 4:46-54)
In this lesson about the healing of the nobleman’s son, kids
learn that faith is believing in what they can’t see! They also
learn that we live by faith as we are obedient to what God tells us to do.

Lesson 3 - Jesus Heals a Man at the Pool (John 5:1-15)
In this lesson, Jesus healed a man who couldn’t walk.
The point of the lesson is that we can look to Jesus to help us
with the problems we have in life.

Lesson 4 - Jesus Feeds the 5,000 (John 6:1-14)
In this lesson, children are taught to give God what they
have. Every talent, ability and skill should be used for Him.

Lesson 5 - Jesus Calms the Storm (John 6:15-24)
In this lesson kids learn that Jesus can help them with their fears too.

Lesson 6 - Peter Walks on the Water (Matthew 14:22-33)
This lesson is about the famous story of Peter walking on the water
to meet Jesus. It reminds the kids that sometimes God asks them to do
things that seem impossible. Just like Peter they must act by faith!
The secret to doing impossible things is to keep your eyes on Jesus.

Lesson 7 - Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind (John 9)
The point of the lesson is that kids need to share what they know.
They will be challenged to share their faith with others.

Lesson 8 - The Leper Who Said Thank You (Luke 17:11-19)
Kids will be challenged to consider the many things God has given them.
They will then learn to thank God for what He has given them and done for them.

New Series in May


Week 1

Title: No ‘Idol’ Time Allowed

Text: Exodus 19 - 20:5

Main Point: God deserves to be #1 in my life

Lesson Overview: Who doesn’t want to be #1? From an early age, being the best or first in games, sports, academics or other skills are important to kids and in reality, adults! The focus of this lesson is about being #1. Not me, not a pro athlete, musician, actor or entertainer of any kind. The number one slot belongs to God alone! God is worthy of being first in our lives even above our selves. When we put God first, everything else falls into place.


Week 2

Title: Could someone please turn down the heat?

Main Point: It’s safe to put God first!

Text: Daniel 3:1-30

Lesson Overview: What ‘church kid’ hasn’t heard the story of the three Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace? Even so, it still remains a powerful story that encourages both kids and adults alike, not to compromise our obedience to God regardless of the situation or consequence.


Week 3

Title: Can somebody please Baal me out?

Main Point: When I’m alone I will still put God first.

Text: 1 Kings 18: 17-38

Lesson Overview: Being alone is no fun sometimes, particularly for a child. The odds certainly were not in Elijah’s favor as he stood before the king and the 450 prophets of Baal as he challenged the people to put Baal or God first. Wouldn’t you like to know what he was thinking and feeling as he called down fire from Heaven! In a fun way this lesson encourages the kids to put God first even when they are alone.


Week 4

Title: I’m Achan to put God first!

Main Point – Don’t put anything in front of God.

Text: Joshua 7

Lesson Overview: Israel had just won a tremendous victory as the walls of Jericho crashed down. There was no stopping Joshua now, right? Wrong- Achan chose gold and silver first over God. Gold and silver became Achan’s idol. Achan’s idolatry cost the lives of 36 men and also the life of Achan and his family. This lesson will creatively teach kid’s that any THING we put before God becomes an idol.
