Fellowship Kids

Nursery, Preschool, and Elementary Aged Children

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14

Welcome to Fellowship Kids! Our passion is to partner with you as a parent as YOU lead your child to know God, love God, and serve God. We provide a safe, healthy, and biblically-centered environment for children while parents worship, learn, and serve during our weekend services.

Weekend Opportunities for Kids

NURSERY (ages 0-2)

PRESCHOOL (ages 2-5)

It is never too early to show God’s love to children. Our staff will welcome your children into an environment of loving care, safety, security, and stimulation, allowing you as parents to worship and serve in the body of Fellowship without worry.
In our preschool ministry, your child will discover the Bible through weekly Bible lessons, crafts, activities, and singing. 

ELEMENTARY (K-6th)

JOY MINISTRY

Our Fellowship Kids elementary school program offers kids time to connect with others their age, worship with modern songs and drama, and study God’s word. Our elementary program begins each service with a time of group worship, led by the Fellowship Kids worship team, and then breaks into their age groups by grade for a time of teaching.
Jesus engaged people with many varied special needs, including physical, social, emotional, and mental. When we reflect on Paul's passage on the value of diversity in the Body of Christ, and realize the centrality of the image of God in every person, it goes without saying that we must take advantage of the opportunity to minister to and come alongside people with special needs.

Brian Weir

Fellowship Kids Director
Brian was born and raised in Martinsburg, WV and graduated from WVU in 2001. After living eight years in North Carolina, Brian and his high school sweetheart, Tracy, with whom he will be celebrating 20 years of marriage this year, moved to Stephens City in 2009 and soon began attending FBC. After getting plugged in quickly with a community group, they found FBC to be their home and began serving in Children's Ministry. An avid sports fan, Brian loves coaching Aubrey's softball team and supporting Sophie in volleyball. When the girls aren't playing they are rooting for the Washington Nationals or the Mountaineers. The Weir's are excited for this opportunity the Lord has presented to them and look forward to serving FBC's children, their families, and the many volunteers it takes to make this a thriving ministry.
