The FBC Kids Ministry at First Baptist Church exists to provide a loving, nurturing, and safe environment in which to teach our children the importance of a personal relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ.

 

By partnering with parents, family members, and the church body, to instill a desire to:

LOVE Christ, LIVE for Christ, and LEAD Others to Christ.

 

Children are a blessing and heritage from the Lord. (Psalm 127:3-5 & Luke 17:2)

Children, like adults, are seriously flawed and are in need of a Savior. (Genesis 8:21 & Psalm 51:5)

Children can grow in grace and use their spiritual gifts for the glory of God and the edification of the church. (2 Peter 3:18 & 1 Corinthians 14:12)

 

Children (through 5th grade) will begin to Explore the Bible during this hour. Well-screened leaders will emphasize biblical literacy and rich Bible study, helping boys and girls to focus on specific Bible skills. We desire for children to build Bible skills for a lifetime so they will treasure His Word. Our prayer is that boys and girls will be grounded in rich Bible study that is heavily focused on biblical literacy.

 

Boys and girls begin the 10:30 am worship hour in the sanctuary with their families. Moms and dads are encouraged to introduce their children to the corporate worship experience and guide them to begin to understand what worship is about. As the song-service part of worship is ending, children ages 4 years through 5th grade are dismissed to enjoy Bible-learning activities and hear God’s Word together with other boys and girls. Children’s Church is optional, and families are always encouraged to worship together.

 

Extended childcare is available in the nursery/preschool area for boys and girls through age 3. Parents are encouraged to volunteer regularly at their convenience and help with childcare.

 

All K-5th grade kids are encouraged to enjoy a weekly worship experience. Kids will study the Bible, sing, pray, and learn what worship is all about.

 

Childcare is available for preschoolers each Wednesday evening while families are attending Life Group classes or Prayer Meeting. Boys and girls will hear a Bible story and typically work on a fun craft to reinforce the learning.
