Frequently Asked Questions

Traditional Clubs

What is the Fun with Faith Clubs, Inc.?
Fun with Faith Clubs, Inc. is a non profit ministry whose mission is to teach children in kindergarten - sixth grade, through after-school Clubs, the Word of God and how to apply it in their lives. Clubs meet in public, private, Christian and home school settings. Each Club has its own curriculum and each Club is comprised of students from one classroom.

How many students are in each Club?
A typical Club will have 7-10 students who are taught by a Christian parent.

How do the Clubs get started?
A Club is formed when a Christian parent feels led to teach their own child and classmates. That parent receives extensive training from the ministry and all materials required to conduct the Club. If you are interested, please call Fun with Faith Clubs, Inc at 1-800-581-4919 or e-mail at info@funwithfaith.com.

What months are the Clubs active?
Fun with Faith Clubs follow the standard school year calendar. Meetings are held every other week, November through May, for a total of 12 meetings.

Are the Clubs evangelistic?
Yes. We realize children of all religious and non-religious backgrounds attend elementary schools of our nation. The Fun with Faith Clubs are founded on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and we believe that in order to teach children to apply God’s Word in their lives, they must first come into a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The Gospel message is proclaimed in every curricula and many children come to receive Christ. Yet we also believe that our responsibility is to sow the seeds of truth in these children and that the Lord will cause them to grow when He wills. Not all children come into the Clubs as Christians, and not all leave our Clubs having received Christ.  For more detailed information about the spiritual foundation of the Fun with Faith Clubs, Inc. see our Statement of Faith.

How do leaders become involved?
Interested parents attend an Interest Meeting offered by the Fun with Faith Clubs to receive detailed information about leadership and the curricula. We ask them to pray for God’s leading, and if they feel called to lead a Club they fill out a Leader Application which gives them an opportunity to give their Christian testimony and understand the leadership requirements.

Where are Interest Meetings held?
The ministry has dedicated volunteers serving as Area Coordinators. These volunteers share all you need to know about becoming involved in the Fun with Faith Clubs. To find out how to contact an Area Coordinator in your location call the ministry headquarters at 1-800-581-4919 or e-mail at info@funwithfaith.com.

How much does it cost for children to join the Fun with Faith Clubs?
Dues are $40 per child. Each child receives a high quality T-Shirt to wear to school on meeting days and other materials associated with their particular curriculum. Fourth graders receive a copy of the New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs, and 5th and 6th graders receive NIV Bibles. Other curriculum materials include workbooks and activity sheets.

Do you offer scholarships?
The Fun with Faith Clubs offers full and partial scholarships to any child who cannot afford the dues. The parent simply fills out a scholarship form and their payment is waived.

Does it cost anything to be a Club leader?
Curriculum materials are provided to Club leaders in Club Kits. A $25 deposit is collected for each Club kit and is refunded at the end of the year when the appropriate materials are returned to the ministry. The leader does not pay dues for their child but uses that $40 allowance to conduct their Club. Many leaders are able to run a Club on that allowance, but others want to invest more for special activities they wish to offer. Anything above the $40 allowance is the Club leader’s responsibility.

How do I know the
Club curricula are Biblically sound?
Each and every lesson taught in the Fun with Faith Clubs has been reviewed and approved by an interdenominational Advisory Committee. Because we do not want to bring any denominational slant into the Fun with Faith Clubs, there are no references to points that may cause denominations to differ, such as the sacraments of Holy Communion or Baptism. We simply strive to teach the Bible as the Word of God and to guide the students to apply it in their own lives.  For more detailed information about the spiritual foundation of the Fun with Faith Clubs, Inc. see our Statement of Faith.

What has been the impact on the families of the children?
It is amazing what the Lord can do through one Club leader devoted to the children and their families. Through association with our Club leaders and their churches, many of our Club members’ parents have received Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. We have had incidents of whole families being baptized together, and we encourage our Club leaders to reach out to the families of the children with the Gospel.

Isn’t it illegal for religious groups to meet on public school property?
Recent years have brought laws that are favorable towards religious groups in public settings. However because of past practices, there is much confusion about what is allowed. The Supreme Court of the United States recently upheld an Appellate Court ruling that stated in essence that if public schools were going to allow any student groups, they could not discriminate based on content of the group. In short, if a school has an "open campus" then any and all groups must be allowed to meet. If a school adopts a "closed campus" then no student groups may meet.

Will the ministry help me get my Club started?
The Fun with Faith Clubs is dedicated to serving our Club leaders in whatever way is necessary. We provide extensive training and crucial prayer support to each and every Club leader. We believe that our ministry is to uphold the Club leaders, and the Club leaders’ ministry is to teach the children. We are devoted to supporting our Club leaders through all situations.
