Children’s Ministries

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.
