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
Every summer, Children's Ministry holds summer camps where we do a number of different activities like singing, arts and crafts, games, and exploring the Bible. We invite our Grades 1-6's to join us as we make new friends, discover more of who God is, and have lots of fun while doing it!
Welcome to VBC 2024
This year, Markham Chinese Baptist Church will have VBC for children finished JK- finished Grade 8 (as of July 2024). This year we will run our very first 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 Breaker Rock Beach, where we will be learning about God's rock-solid truth in a world of shifting sands.
This year, VBC will be a FOUR week camp from Mon-Fri, July 8-Aug 2, 2024, from 9:00am-4:00pm, with optional before and after care for additional fees.
You will have the option to register your child for
- Weeks 1-2 (Jul 8-19) - camp fee $300 or
- Weeks 3-4 (Jul 22-Aug 2) - camp fee $300 or
- all four weeks (Jul 8-Aug 2) - camp fee $550
The lessons and activities will differ every week of camp. There are no single week options, and there is no option to attend only the middle two weeks or the first and fourth weeks.
Camp Fee includes:
- the materials they'll need for all their camp activities,
- 2 camp T-shirts,
- 1 field trip every other week (total of 2 if you register for all 4 weeks) 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.
