Children’s Ministries


First Baptist Church provides quality children’s programming to meet the needs of your child in today’s world.  There are a variety of weekly and occasional ministries designed to make learning God’s Word fun, exciting, and practical. While learning, children build friendships and develop creativity. We use well-trained, loving people who understand the developmental stages of growth to give your child the best possible experience. Each member who works with children is CAPP (Child Abuse Protection Policy) approved and exemplifies Christ-like behavior.

Nursery

We offer three separate nursery areas in order to provide an age-appropriate setting for your children.
