Our Children's Ministry offers a variety of opportunities for your children birth through grade 5. We seek to balance the 5 purposes of Worship, Ministry, Evangelism, Fellowship and Discipleship within our Children's Ministry.  First Baptist offers a Sunday morning program between 9:15 am and 12:00 noon along with a Sunday evening program from 5:30 to 7:00 pm.  Wednesday evenings begin with our Family Night Supper, served from 5:30 to 6:15 pm. 

For Preschoolers (ages 3-5) Praise Kids meets at 6:00 pm followed by Mission Friends at 6:30 pm.

For Children (grades K-5) Children-in-Action meets 6:00-7:00 pm.  Below is a brief description of the various programs that make up our Children's Ministry.

Sunday School is an important element of our overall Children's Ministry.  We offer an age-graded program on Sunday mornings from 9:30 - 10:30 am.   Each age-graded class teaches basic Bible truths with an emphasis on basic Bible verse study.  The primary stories of the Bible serve as the format for the teaching. 

Missions

Missions plays a central role in the ministries of First Baptist Church as we seek to be a mission minded, outward looking church serving the needs of others in our community, across our state and nation, and around the world.  To that end our children begin early on learning about serving others and telling them about the love of Jesus Christ.  Children participate in a missions program called Children-in-Action (CIA's) on Wednesdays. 

Kids for Christ            

Kids for Christ is a weekly program designed for children age grade K-5. Children meet from 6:00 to 7:00 pm to learn about Jesus in a fun, action packed environment.  Activities vary from week to week and the kids never know what to expect or what fun learning event will challenge them next.  A Children's Theatre is planned for the near future that allows characters on a Nickelodean style set to interact with the kids in music, games and Bible study.   

Little Kids for Christ is a similar program for preschoolers ages 3-5.
