CLASH (Children Loving And Serving Him) Is the name for the Children's fellowship group for those students that are in first through sixth grades. CLASH meets for a nine-week period in the fall and a nine-week period in the spring on Wednesday evenings, 6:00 p.m to 7:15 p.m.

CLASH kids enjoy a time of singing, game playing, learning verses from the Bible, and participating in a year-end pizza party bash.

Each week, kids can earn points (through attendance, bringing their bible, bringing a friend, bible verse memory, etc.) that they can use in the CLASH Store at the end of each nine week session.

Contact the church office (738-3071) for more information on the CLASH program.

Spring 2008 CLASH summary:

    CLASH had a successful 2008 spring session with 90 elementary children attending more than once. The average attendance was 75. Twenty-eight children learned all 16 fall and spring Bible verses and earned a ticket to the pizza and pool party held at the NCK Wellness Center. The kids had a great time celebrating their accomplishment! Five more children learned all 8 spring verses and earned 5 bonus points for store night. All the kids enjoyed spending their points for attendance, verses and bringing friends at store night. Almost two-thirds of the CLASH children do not attend BFCC, so this is a real ministry to the community. Many thanks to the following volunteers who served students faithfully each week.
