Here at Marquette Manor, children are an integral part of our ministry. In a world where truth is diluted and children are often left to fend for themselves, we proclaim the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ and present God’s Word in a way that impacts young lives for eternity. Children need a biblical foundation so they can make right choices in their childhood, teen, and adult years. These right choices will, in turn, cause them to make a positive impact in society. 

Nursery
Marquette Manor Baptist Church provides a nursery during each service for infants to 3 year olds. The nursery facilities are properly supervised by trained and qualified workers and are open 15 minutes before services.

Sunday School
Well-trained instructors teach age-appropriate Sunday School classes for children 3 years old through the sixth grade. Filled with Bible stories, activities, and practical lessons for today’s child, Sunday School provides a wonderful opportunity for your child to learn God’s Word and be nurtured in the ways of the Lord.

Children’s Church
During the Sunday morning service, two Children’s Church services are held—one for 3-4 year olds and another for K5-4th grade children. Run by caring leaders with a love for the Lord Jesus Christ, these times are jam-packed with exciting stories, songs, activities, and important Bible lessons aimed at helping children know God personally and live a life pleasing to Him.

AWANA (back to top)
Designed to minister to the children of our church and community, Awana is a structured, fun-filled program that teaches godly character, teamwork, and discipline through Bible memorization, exciting activities, and counsel time.

This year (2023-34) the Awana program will be held 7:00 to 8:20 Wednesday evenings August 30 to May 8th, and is available for children ages 3 through the sixth grade. There are special activities throughout the year including Christmas Caroling and Awana store nights.

There is a minimal annual cost of $35 per child with a maximum of $75 per family. The fee includes the handbook and any awards achieved (pins/trophies).

Our hope and prayer is that through this ministry all the club members will accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.

Neighborhood Bible Time (back to top)
Each summer Marquette Manor hosts Neighborhood Bible Time. NBT is designed to minister to children and teens in the church and community as an outreach to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For one week, (Monday through Friday) children and teens in the greater Downers Grove area join us for Bible stories, missionary stories, games and competition, songs, memory verses, and a host of activities.

Children's Choir Club (back to top)
The Choir Club is an engaging ministry on Wednesday evenings when Awana is out of session. Kids learn songs, music theory, and the stories of our hymns and their writers. Games and object lessons are a few of the other activities children enjoy during this time.
