What Does The 5/6 Do?
Each Sunday during the third service we hang out play some games, get to know each other, and talk about Scripture. We meet on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. in the gym to have snacks and play creative, team-building games! The 5/6 meets on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. and Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m.

Next Gen: Leader’s Launch
August 30 | 12:30 – 2:30 p.m. | Village Church of Bartlett
Calling all the leaders and volunteers in our Next Gen ministries – Village Kids, Awana, The 5/6, and Forge – to join us for our annual Next Gen Leader’s Launch! We are so excited about the role you will play in helping us to make disciples who go, grow, and overcome. We want to equip you well and encourage you as we begin another ministry year. We will eat lunch and share our vision for our year ahead, as well as have a training specific to the ministry you serve. The training is expected to last approximately two hours after lunch. Childcare will only be available as needed.
AWANA
September 14 – May 3 | 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. | Village Church of Bartlett
AWANA meets Monday nights during the school year to engage in large-group teaching, small-group discipleship, and game time. At Village Church, AWANA engages Cubbies (Ages 3-4), Sparks (Grades K-2), and T&T (Grades 3-6). Find descriptions for each age group below:
Cubbies (Ages 3-4): Cubbies introduces kids to Bible memorization in a fun and nurturing environment, including games, puppet shows, crafts, and snacks. Students have lots of fun hiding God’s word in their hearts!
Sparks (Grades K-2): Sparks builds on the foundation that Cubbies laid, while deepening their understanding of the Bible. There are games, small group and large group times, and lots of meaningful connections!
T&T (Grades 3-6): Truth & Training continues to help kids memorize God’s Word and focuses on learning to study the Bible independently. It also includes a fun game time, small and large group teaching times, and growing relationships with each other and Jesus!
Volunteer in AWANA
September 14 – May 3 | 6:00 – 8:00 | Village Church of Bartlett
AWANA meets Monday nights during the school year to engage in large-group teaching, small-group discipleship, and game time. AWANA wouldn’t be possible without an amazing team of volunteers to pour into the kids each week. As a volunteer, you can sign up to be with Cubbies (Ages 3-4), Sparks (Grades K-2), or T&T (Grades 3-6), which are described above. We also need volunteers to serve with administration, join our special needs team, or fill in as subs! Our volunteers also receive a discount code for registering their students in AWANA as a token of our thanks.
