About
Children's Ministry
Welcome to MCBC’s Children’s Ministry, where we explore who God is through the eyes of our children!
Our goal is to walk alongside families with children as they live out their faith in their everyday lives. We do this through a variety of programs both on Sundays and also throughout the week, and through providing families with resources that they can use at home and outside of the church.
Currently, due to COVID-19, our children’s ministry programs have been moved online. For children’s worship and to access various family resources, please join our MCBC Children’s Ministry Facebook Group. For other programs, please email Pastor Joanne or keep scrolling down for more information.

Annual Activity
Summer Camp
VBC 2025 - SAVE THE DATE This year, our church's kids summer camp (VBC) will run from Aug 11-22, and will be open to children and youth finished JK to Gr 8. Registration will be for both weeks of camp. There will be no single week option. Registration details to come soon.
Welcome to VBC 2025
This year, Markham Chinese Baptist Church will have VBC for children finished JK- finished Grade 8 (as of July 2025). We will also be running our 2nd year of our LIT (leaders-in-training) program, created to train our youth (grade 7 and 8) and equip them with leadership and life skills, while giving them practical, hands-on leadership experience with our younger campers. Our theme for camp this year is NORB-E: an out-of-this-world mission to discover God's Glory.
VBC will be a TWO (2) week camp from Mon-Fri, August 11-22, 2025, from 9:00am-4:00pm, with optional before (8am-9am) and after care (4pm-6pm) for additional fees. There is no single week option. You must register for both weeks.
VBC is an opportunity to share the love of Jesus with those who don't know it yet! As such, we open registration to non-church-going families first, followed by families who attend MCBC, and finally, to families who attend churches other than MCBC.
Camp Fee includes:
- the materials they'll need for all their camp activities,
- a camp T-shirts,
- 1 field trip (the other week will be a special in-house activity) and
- a pizza lunch each week
In addition, we also provides Before and After Childcare services, with the following charges:
Before care (8am-9am)
The cost for each week's before care is $25, or $10.00 if paying per day.
After Care (4pm-6pm)
The cost for each week's after care is $50, or $15.00 if paying per day.
The registration dates are as follows:
Non-church families: Registration opens on Sun, Feb 2, 2025
MCBC families: Registration opens on Sun, Feb 16, 2025
Families from other churches: Registration opens on Sun, Mar 2, 2025

- Upon payment of the camp fee, your child's spot at camp will be secured.
- If you choose to withdraw your application prior to camp but after payment or require any other refunds, we will provide you with a refund, but a $30 admin fee will apply.
