Welcome to Kids Park!
My name is Eric McGregor, I'm the Children's Pastor here at Avon Park Lakes Baptist Church, and I'm excited you're checking us out! Kids Park exists to bring the Gospel of Jesus to families through kids having fun, studying the Bible in depth, and bringing understanding of how to walk a Christ-centered life. We have Godly men and women who live as examples, teach us on Sunday and Wednesday, and chaperone any day trips. If you want to grow in your understanding of Jesus and be challenged for the whole family to live a life worthy of His high calling please come join us, we would love to have you. God Bless.

Sunday Mornings
•Morning Worship is at 8:30 & 11:00 AM (gym/4000 building).
Kids start in the main worship service as a family during the worship time.
We then excuse Kids Park for a special time of their own worship and Bible study based off of the Sunday message. This is done so that kids and parents both hear the same message, but on their own level so that after church, they can talk about it and be excited for what the other has learned.
• Sunday School is at 9:45 AM (Kids Park/2000 building).
We provide age/grade-appropriate small groups with well-trained influential adults.

BEGINNING JANUARY 8, 2025!
We’ve all been in situations that seemed totally hopeless. No way out. No hope at all. It’s “GAME OVER!” Throughout the Bible, there are stories of people who were in situations that seemed hopeless. It seemed like it was “GAME OVER” for them and their situations. But God had other plans. While everyone else thought it was “GAME OVER,” God knew that nothing is impossible for Him. Instead of “GAME OVER,” with God it becomes “GAME ON!” In this new Wednesday night series, your kids will learn that no matter how impossible a situation may seem, God has the ability to turn things around. It’s not over until GOD says it’s over! We pray your kids enjoy learning about some of the greatest comebacks of the Bible!
