First Baptist Church provides quality children’s ministries to meet your child’s physical and spiritual needs. We offer various ministries designed to make learning God’s Word exciting and practical. We have well-trained, loving volunteers who understand a child’s development and growth to give your child the best possible experience. Each member who works with children is screened and trained through our Child Abuse Protection Policy and exemplifies Christ-like behavior.
Nursery
Our nursery facilities, available to children from newborn to age 3, are safe and engaging. Your child will be cared for by background-checked and trained members of First Baptist Church. Nursery services are available during all regularly scheduled Sunday and Wednesday services and many of our special events.
We offer three separate nursery areas to provide an age-appropriate setting for your children.
Infants – Newborns through crawling
Babies – Crawling through 2 years
Toddlers – 2 years through 3 years
Please contact the church office with further questions about our nursery services.
Sunday School
Sunday School programs are available for children aged 3 through 6th grade. Sunday School is at 9:30am. Material is age-appropriate and points children to the Gospel, foundational truths from God’s Word, and teaches them how to follow after God.

Children’s Church
Children’s Church is available for children ages 4-6. Children are dismissed from our 10:45am worship service after a time of worship and before the sermon. There, they will enjoy a lesson created just for them for the remainder of the service time.
GROW! Kids (Sunday nights)
GROW! Kids is for children aged 4 to 6th grade. GROW! is designed to help kids grow in their knowledge and their walk with God in a hands-on manner. Children are split into small groups based on their grade. Parents can drop their children off at the chapel at 5:45pm and pick their students up from their classrooms at 7:15pm.
