Welcome to DBC Kids!
DBC's children's ministry is where children learn to love God in an intimate and personal way, to love people as God has called us to do! It's a place where we make disciples as we grow in our knowledge and love for Jesus and where we strive to make a difference in our homes, church, community, and the world.
We nurture this movement as we:
- Impact the children of our community with the message of Christ's love for them
- Facilitate growth in their relationship with Jesus Christ and His Word
- Prepare children to discover their uniqueness and eventually God's mission and purpose for their lives
BREAK OUT ------ VBS 2025
BREAKOUT, Escape From Ordinary To Extraordinary
Sometimes our ordinary life can make us feel trapped. We can feel trapped by our worries, our doubts, our fears, and our sin. Sometimes we just wish we could break out and be free from these struggles. Through this escape room-themed VBS, kids will not only solve fun puzzles throughout the week, but will also learn that only God has the power to come in and break us out of the ordinary to lead us to the extraordinary.
Kids will experience exciting worship gatherings, thematic craft & snack times, energetic recreational games and more fun each day!
For kids ages 4 years old (by 9/1/25) through 5th Grade in the 2024-2025 school year. When registering use your child's COMPLETED (not rising) grade for the 2024-2025 school year.
VBS is FREE for all participants.

Parent/Child Dedication
One of the first Legacy Milestones in your family’s life is the birth of a child and their dedication to the Lord. DBC’s Parent/Child Dedication ceremony is a commitment ceremony for parents and our church family. It is a recognition of your solemn responsibility to raise your child in a Christian home and a church where they may come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. This ceremony is not infant baptism. We do not offer baptism before a person’s choosing to believe in Christ.
"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6
Next Service:
May 11, 2025
Mother's Day
Please submit this request three weeks before dedication service date.
We ask that parents for dedication be members or active regular attendees of Dunwoody Baptist Church. Why? In dedicating your child to God, you are stating that you are willing to partner with God and the church to raise your child in cooperation with God's intentions. To partner with any church, a parent would be wise to decide if they agree with its beliefs and vision so that they can be all-in in their partnership with the church.
New Beginnings Baptism Class
The New Beginnings Class is for children as they begin their faith journey. Recommended for children in grades 2-5, the class is held during the 9:45am Bible study hour, and at least one parent must attend with their child. During this class, we will discuss what baptism is, who partakes in communion, how you follow Christ, and what it means to be a disciple. We also tour the baptistery so that they will feel comfortable about what takes place on the day of their baptism ceremony.
As a reminder, DBC streams our services live online, and a recording is available via the church’s website, the Church Center app, and social media. If you have family or friends who cannot witness your baptism in person, this is an option for them. If you have concerns about sharing your baptism in these venues, please let us know before your baptism day.
Next Class:
Sunday, March 20, 2025
10:15-10:45am in the Children's Area Room 109
Contact Ms. Bridgette if you have questions and to schedule a baptism.
How to Check In
At DBC, the safety and security of your children is a top priority. That is why we have chosen a secure check-in system through Planning Center Check-Ins to provide you as parents the ability to act as a team with us to keep them in safe hands.
Signing up for Planning Center Check-Ins is easy and free. Once you have created your profile, you can add your kids and other guardians, along with important medical information we may need to provide the best care for your child.
Parents can quickly check children in using a phone number or by scanning the barcode provided in the Church Center app. Each child will receive a name label which includes the parents phone number as well as any medical information pertaining to the child. The parent will also receive a security label to be presented at pickup.
