Children's Ministry
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Loving Nurseries
At Hillside Baptist Church, we are committed to providing loving and caring nurseries for each child that God gives us. Our caregivers are hand-selected to ensure quality care for your babies. The nursery is located near the Sanctuary in case there is a need for the mother, and we provide a quiet room for any mother who wishes to be in services but also needs to care for their child. No matter your child's age level, we work hard to provide for their needs while they are entrusted to our care.

Toddlers
With Bro. Lyndell and Gail Greer
At Hillside, The "Terrible Twos" are the Terrific Twos! We love kids at every age! We work hard to teach these precious gifts God's Word in a fun and exciting way. Each week they learn from God's Word, have an activity, and learn to apply God's Word during play time on the playground outside or inside in their classroom. The Toddler Class is offered for every service at Hillside Baptist Church. Bring your child to make new friends and grow in God's Word to the 2's and 3's Class just outside the Sanctuary.
Kindergarten

What an exciting age, so full of discovery, fun, and messes! Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarteners will find a fun and exciting home for them at Hillside. The class is located just off of the Sanctuary, and has access to the small playground area. We spend time teaching these terrific students all about Jesus who died for them and pray that each one will accept Christ as their Saviour!
