Vacation Bible School 2009:  Crocodile Dock:  Where Fearless Kids Shine God's Light!

This summer, kids will go on an exciting bayou adventure!  So hop on a flat-bottom boat and drift through lazy, hazy waters under tall cypress trees . . . until the big adventure begins!  Kids will experience adventure, discovering God's presence, power, love, life, and care.

Mark your calendar for July 27-30th when BCA is transformed into a mysterious, colorful bayou that is bursting with fun!  Registration will begin in May.

Sign up now to be a part of making Crocodile Dock an incredible experience for kids of all ages!  Email Lisa Carlson now and let her know that you want to help!

Nursery Department

 

Sunday mornings at 9:00 & 10:30

Our new state-of-the art nursery for children birth to two years is the ideal place for your child to begin learning about God's love.  Our friendly and experienced staff will help your child feel welcome.  We will assign a pager to you during the time your child is in the nursery so that you may be contacted in the event your child needs your attention.

Mothers of babies are invited to view our church services through a live video feed in our new and inviting Nursing Mother's Room located next door to the nursery.  One way glass in our Nursing Mother's Room allows moms to peek into the nursery to check on their babies.

NEW FAMILY ROOM!  Just off of our worship center, we offer a family room that allows an option for families with restless babies and small children to enjoy the church service.  Closed circuit TV and a viewing area are offered in this family-friendly room.

For more information about BCA's awesome nursery department, please contact our Nursery Director, Becky Denny on Sundays in the nursery at 9:00am or 10:30am or via e-mail
