Kids For Christ - Children's Ministry
Our Purpose
To nurture and guide children in their faith, teaching them about Jesus, the Bible, and Christian values, ultimately helping them become committed followers of Christ and active citizens of God’s kingdom.

Children's Church
Sunday mornings during worship services our 4 yr olds - 1st graders are encouraged to sit with their families for the first part of the worship service. After our announcement time, they are invited to go to Children’s Church on the Preschool Hallway. This time consists of a Bible Story, a craft or coloring page, songs, and play.
Worship bags are located at each Sanctuary entrance with printed material correlating with the sermon for those in 2nd grade and older.

Summer Bible Study
Every summer we have a special themed Bible Study for our 4 yr olds - 6th grade. It is often compared to a summer long Vacation Bible School where we have Bible Study, craft and game centers, snack, and recreation.
The Children’s Ministry at First Baptist Church is made possible due to our supportive church family. This ministry requires many volunteers to teach and to assist and we are blessed with many supportive adults who love to minister to our children.
We do have a check-in system for our children and we follow our Safety Protocol Manual, which includes mandatory background checks on all volunteers. For more information on our check-in or safety system contact Joy Stallings or Taylor Head.
