What Children's and Youth Programs Are Available at Boomer Baptist Church?
Updated
Boomer Baptist Church runs two programs for young people: AWANAS, open to PK through 12th grade, and Sunday School, open to PK through 6th grade. AWANAS meets every Sunday at 5:30 pm, and Sunday School meets every Sunday at 11:00 am. If you have a child in middle or high school, AWANAS is the program that covers that age range — Sunday School stops at 6th grade.
The Two Programs at a Glance
| Program | Age / Grade Range | Meeting Time |
|---|---|---|
| AWANAS | PK–12th grade | Every Sunday @ 5:30 pm |
| Sunday School | PK–6th grade | Every Sunday @ 11:00 am |
Both are described on the church's site as Sunday options alongside the Sunday Morning Service for kids and adults.
What Each Program Covers
AWANAS (PK–12th grade)
AWANAS is the broader of the two programs, spanning from pre-kindergarten all the way through 12th grade. It meets Sunday evenings at 5:30 pm. Because it covers the full PK–12 range, it's the option for families with older children or teens who have aged out of Sunday School.
The church also describes its Wednesday evening gathering in a way that may be relevant to teens: a note on the site refers to it as "an hour long mini Awanas," suggesting a similar format to the Sunday AWANAS program. That Wednesday gathering is listed as Prayer/Bible Study at 7:00 pm.
Sunday School (PK–6th grade)
Sunday School meets Sunday mornings at 11:00 am and serves children from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Note that this time slot runs alongside the Sunday Morning Service, which is also listed at 11:00 am — so families with children in this age range will typically be choosing between Sunday School and the main service for that hour.
How to Decide Which Program Fits Your Child
- Child in PK–6th grade: Both programs are open to them. Sunday School (11:00 am) and AWANAS (5:30 pm) fall at different times of day, so a family could use both.
- Child in 7th–12th grade: AWANAS is the program that covers this range. Sunday School is not listed for these grades.
- Looking for a midweek option: The Wednesday Prayer/Bible Study at 7:00 pm is described as a mini-AWANAS-style hour, which may suit older kids and teens.
A Few Practical Notes
The church's livestream is listed as "under construction," with a note that it is "coming soon" — so at the time of the site's content, these programs are in-person only. If you want to confirm current meeting times or ask about a specific age group before visiting, the site's Contact Us page is the direct route; the church also maintains a Facebook page.
The site's overall framing is worth knowing if you're new: it presents itself as "the end of your search for a friendly church" and invites anyone "searching for something more" to join on Sunday mornings, at AWANAS, or on Wednesdays.
