We love kids! And we want the time that children spend at First Woodway to be the best hours of their week, while building a firm foundation on the truth and love of Jesus Christ.
What’s Happening Now!
Vacation Bible School 2023 Team Recruitment | HAPPENING NOW!
We need YOU to help in VBS! Our goal for VBS this year is to staff four sections of every grade level, which we believe is very doable. No class will have more than 20 children/students in it. Four sections of every grade means we need more than 100 college students and adults to say “yes” to serving. Can you help? Say YES to the best week of your summer HERE.
Family Discipleship Class | March 12 – April 16 | Sundays 5:30-7:00 pm | No Cost
Led by Aryn & Brooklyn Bolton
One of the greatest responsibilities all Christian parents have is to be disciple makers in their homes – raising your children in the love and fear of the Lord. Discipling your family can feel like an intimidating task, but it doesn’t need to be overwhelming or complicated. With a simple plan in place, discipleship is something every parent can do.
This class will give young families practical steps to developing sustainable rhythms of gospel-centered discipleship focused in three key areas: time, moments, and milestones. Utilizing this framework will bless your family and focus your discipleship, no matter the number, age, development, or personality of your children. Childcare is available! Click HERE to register.

Family Dedications are faith milestones that we celebrate on select Sunday mornings throughout the year. To participate in a Family Dedication Service, you must first attend an orientation session. This informational class will focus on what a dedication is, as well as provide you with some excellent tools and resources for leading your child and family. Register HERE.
New Believer’s 101 Class for Kids | July 16 | 9:30 – 10:45 am | 1206
This class is a pre-requisite for grade school children to be baptized at First Woodway. As we believe that baptism is an outward symbol of an inward decision to follow Christ, and based on the material covered, this class is for kids who have already asked Jesus to be the Lord of their lives. In addition to baptism, we will discuss what being a Christian means, worship, and how children can begin to grow in their Christian walk. Each child will receive a workbook and devotion book at the end of the class. Register HERE.
Kingdom Kids Disciple Makers
A disciple maker is a Christian who enters into relationship with people to help them trust and follow Jesus. This is based on Jesus’ example of love (John 13:34-35) and His final command in Matthew 28:19-20. Disciple making is for every Christian! The Kingdom Kids Children’s Ministry needs disciple makers. Will you join us as we disciple the next generation? Let us know by filling out the form HERE.
