Calling all boys and girls!
We run a varied and exciting programme for children including a blend of regular ministries and one-off outreaches. You can find out more below!
Sunday School
Sundays 10.15-11am | Preschool - P7
We have classes from preschool up to Primary 7. We sing choruses and in our classes we use “Go Teach” material as our curriculum and this gives the children the opportunity to review the lessons being taught and complete the activities in these workbooks at home.
Good News Club
Mondays 6.30-7.30pm | Age 3+
Good News Club meets on Monday nights from September to March with a fantastic programme of brilliant Bible lessons, catchy songs, exciting memory verses and competitive quizzes! All boys and girls from age 3+ are welcome to join us, to learn more from the Bible, make new friends and have a lot of fun! Bus Service Available.
Children's Church
During Sunday Morning Service
All the boys and girls up to Primary 7 leave mid-way through our morning service (usually after the second hymn) to learn a story from the Bible, have a snack and do some crafts and games! Children's church runs during both the morning worship and breaking of bread service.
Little Sunbeams
Thursdays 10am-12pm | Mums & Tots
Every Thursday morning from 10:00 am-12:00 noon our Parents & Toddlers meet. You don't need to have any connection with the church at Ballee to attend. If you have young children, you will be made most welcome each Thursday morning.

Where can I find you?Our Church is located at 166 Toome Road, Ballymena (just adjacent to the cemetery). Our Main Church building is the one located on the left, with the entrance beneath the 'Ballee Baptist Church' lettering. You can enter the extension building using the doors located in the centre of the building complex. Hope to see you soon!
-
Is there parking?Yes, we have ample parking provision including an overflow car park behind the church complex. We have parking attendants in place during the Sunday services and special events to help you find a parking space!
-
Who are you?We are a group of ordinary people transformed by the grace of God. We meet weekly to worship God and learn from His word and run various ministries to share the Good News of Jesus' death and resurrection with others. You can find out more about us here!
-
What can I expect?Our services have a traditional look and feel. There will be a mixture of hymn-singing, prayers, announcements and then teaching from God's Word. In our Gospel Service we also have visiting singers along regularly. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed at the door. You are free to find your own seat, but if you need special assistance or would like to be shown to a seat, please speak to one of the folk on the door and they will be glad to assist you.
-
What happens at the Breaking of Bread Service?We meet weekly to break bread together. This is the highlight of our worship service, when we remember the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. This service immediately follows our morning worship service, but you are free to leave during the closing hymn of morning worship should you wish to do so. Those who remain will be invited to take of the emblems if they are saved and walking in fellowship with the Lord, but all are invited to remain and observe. Any ladies taking of the emblems will be required to wear head covering.
