            1. Bible Baptist Academy. BBA meets Tuesday through Friday 
               every week during the school year. The ACE Program is 
               used to teach these children reading, writing, and 
               arithmetic.

            2. Bus Ministry.  Begun in 2001 following a popular week at 
               vacation Bible school, a regular Sunday youth program for 
               children of different ages that made Bible lessons fun. 
               The issue was how to get the children from downtown Dubuque 
               to the church.

               The solution was found by purchasing old public school buses, 
               painting them blue, and after refurbishing them using the 
               buses to shuttle children from their homes to church. Buses 
               left the church at about 1:00 p.m. after Sunday worship service. (1)

               In 2018 the church had two buses and two 15 passenger vans to
               bring children and adults to church.

            3. Children's Church. During the 11:00 am service, classes for 
               children ages 4-7.

               memory, games, snack, and preaching during King's Kids. This 
               happens during the 7:00 Wednesday p.m. service.

            6. Nursery. For each service, we provide a nursery for children 
               through age three.
