| Sunday Bible Study |
| The purpose of our Sunday Children’s Bible studies is to train our community’s children in Christian principles and godly behavior. Sunday Bible Study begins at 9:30 AM and ends at 10:45 AM. There is a snack served in the gymnasium before the children begin their Children’s Church session. |
| Children's Church |
| Children’s Church is held during the adult’s morning worship service between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM. While Sunday Bible Studies focuses on Biblical themes such as Love, Faith, Hope and being obedient, Children’s Church focuses on Bible stories: the Who, What, Why and Where of the story. Stories are expressed through puppet shows, flannel graphs, acting, videos and simple readings. We use reinforcement centers to review biblical stories. The children are frequent visitors in the 11:00 AM Worship Service. |
| Explorers |
| The Explorer program teaches our children, between the ages of 6 and 11, Bible verses and longer passages. Children learn the books of the Bible, certain Psalms, the Beatitudes, parables and many verses. Once a year, during our “Court of Knowledge”, our children display their memorization skills, much to the admiration of our parents. |
| Satellites |
| The Satellite program teaches our 3-5 year olds shorter passages, pledges to the flags and verses. Both ministries are held from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM every Wednesday evening. |
| Vacation Bible School (VBS) |
| VBS is held every summer (usually in July or August) for children 3 years old up to 6th grade. VBS is designed to provide a daily, week long adventure for all children. While on their adventure, they study the Bible, learn songs, and have crafts and recreation. It is a positive Christian environment that builds a child’s faith and love for God. |
| Noah's Ark Preschool |
| Understanding the ever growing need to find a safe and quality daycare in this day and age, the South Bay Church of God has sought to maintain our daycare to meet the needs of our congregation and our community. Noah’s Ark Preschool is a state-licensed facility established in 1964. Noah’s Ark provides a safe and Christian environment for children ages 2 to 5 years old. Noah’s Ark also has an extended daycare for children in Kindergarten through the 5th grade. For more information, please contact our Director, Sherri Phelps at (310) 327-3083. |

If you're facing any of the above, it's very important that you seek at least an initial consultation to discuss what we can do to help you--the earlier the better. It's always less time consuming and less expensive to obtain counseling early in the process. As you are probably already aware, the longer you wait to access counseling the longer it takes to experience the changes that are needed. If you're facing any of the above and your spouse is unwilling to come to counseling, make an appointment anyway. It's simply amazing what can be done with just one partner to make significant changes in your marriage and family. Christ has gifted each of us to serve the Body and we're here to serve you with Christian care. | |
