Welcome to Safari Kids Children's Ministry
​at First Alliance Church of Port Charlotte

We want to make your first visit to our ministry area as welcoming as possible.
Scroll through our pages so you know what to expect!
Join our team!
Meet us in the Check-In Room!

​From the parking lot, walk through the open air breezeway and turn left. We are the first door on the left! When you enter our check-in room, you will be greeted by a team member, who will sign your kids into our system as guests. Your children will be given name tags, and you will receive a unique pick-up sticker. If you decide to make FAC your home church, we'll enter you into our database so you can check your children in by scanning an app (there's always an "app for that"), or by entering your phone number in one of our kiosks.

​All of our rooms are behind a magnetically locked door, our volunteers are background checked, and we have a safety team on campus at all times. You can worship in service with the assurance that your children are safe and being well cared for, loved on, played with, and taught!
SO MUCH happens in the Safari Kids area! We invite you to come now for a virtual tour by clicking on the buttons below. Visit us soon and we'd love to give you a tour in person!

Trying to decide which service to attend?  Due to COVID-19, we have had to alter our programming and are providing children's ministry during the 9:45am and 11;15am services only, not the 8:15am service, and there is a Family Room available with the service livestreamed into it. Masks are optional on our campus and within our ministry.

Tracy Moss (Safari Kids Director) and Jami Bruno (Safari Kids Assistant) work together to reach kids for Christ and disciple them in their faith. Whether it is on Sundays in Safari Kids, or one of the other programs they are involved in  - Winshape Summer Camp, Word of Life Summer Camp, or Good News Club - Tracy and Jami LOVE to have FUN with your children and with the many adults who join them in their efforts to reach kids with the love of Jesus Christ! Our team makes the ministry possible, and is comprised of over 80 men, women, and youth who work together to help kids know Jesus, love others, and live changed!

Touchless Check-In with the Church Center app!
We have changed our check-in system, and there is a touchless option that will also speed the check-in process! Using the Church Center app, you can begin checking your children in for a service by 6 a.m. Sunday morning.  Once you arrive on campus, you will scan the QR or bar code label from that app, and your name tags will print! Please watch the video to see how to begin. 

​Please remember that even after you have "checked in" your child on the app, they are not actually checked in until you scan your code at church. We will be checking people in on a first-come, first-serve basis. If we reach our attendance cap, we hope you will be gracious and bring your child to service or to one of our Family Rooms. (Our cap is close to the number of kids who were coming before COVID-19, so we believe, considering reduced attendance from those who'll continue to worship online, that it will be sufficient.)

It's time to think about Summer Camp!

Summer 2021 is coming, and we have 2 wonderful opportunities to present to you! Please note that grades are indicating the grade your child is in NOW, for the 2020-2021 school year. Read the brief descriptions below, and click on the image to find out more!

Overnight Camp for 2nd - 5th Graders: June 27 - July 2nd

This is a great opportunity to help kids go deeper in their faith - and, a great chance for kids to invite their friends to a fun experience that will also present them with the gospel! Kids stay in cabins with counselors, and Safari Kids staff (Ms. Jami, Ms. Tracy, Ms. Christina) stay on premises as well! We see the kids every day & post lots of pictures for parents.

Day Camp in Port Charlotte for K - 8th Grades: July 5th - 9th

WinShape Camp is a Chick-fil-A sponsored day camp that 6 local churches (including FAC) work together to bring to our town! Think of a Vacation Bible School...over-the-top and all day long! Camp is held on the campus of Community Christian School, and runs from about 7:30am - 5pm each day of camp week. Sign up on Kick-Off week, the first week of March, for the best discount!
