The children’s ministry program at Bay Area is known as Promise Point, a special place where kids are invited to “Come to the Light:” Come learn about God, invite Jesus to be your savior, grow in your faith, help others, and tell the world.” At Promise Point children grow to know teachers who are examples, find friends who are encouragers, and know God who loves each one of them—all in a safe, fun, and caring environment.
Promise Point utilizes a planned Biblical curriculum and recognizes each
child’s uniqueness. Our philosophy is to work with parents, the primary faith
developers, to bring children to faith in Christ and help them grow spiritually,
emotionally, socially, and physically. For more information check out our
Children’s Ministry FAQs.

- FamilyTimes Virtue Packs -
FamilyTimes™ Virtue Packs provide activities to be used once a week during each of these four family times--MealTime, DriveTime, BedTime, and MorningTime. All of this is designed to give parents simple ways to help their kids grow in faith and character. The resources you will find in the Virtue Pack are designed to be strategically placed within your home as reminders of a specific virtue and its related principles each month. They should be placed in the location that corresponds with the time they are to be used. These pieces will be constant reminders to you and your children and help you to prioritize each of the four FamilyTimes™. As you go through the virtue pack you will notice that it introduces you to all the pieces and explains the concepts in more detail. The plan is based on the Hebrew method of teaching children found in Deuteronomy 6:7. It helps parents reprioritize four significant times that are routinely within every home: BedTime, MealTime, DriveTime, and Morning Time. The FamilyTimes™ tools do not involve preparation nor do they have to be pulled off a book shelf. They are used during the four significant family times. Each tool reinforces one of the four times of day, and helps the parent maximize their time and fulfill their intended role (counselor, teacher, friend or coach). Cost: $10- they can be purchased at the children’s welcome counter.
