Children and Family Ministries

We recognize that the home is the primary place of biblical instruction, and thus we long to see parents who have been shaped and fashioned by God’s Word pass on the truths of Scripture to their children.  At First Baptist, we partner with parents in teaching and discipling their children. In each of our weekly ministries, we encourage children to love the Lord their God (Deuteronomy 6).

Sunday Mornings

• Nursery
  Nursery is available for children birth through Pre-K during both morning worship services, Sunday School, and our 6:00pm evening service.

• Children’s Church
  Children’s Church is offered during the early service (8:30am) for children K-3rd grade. They attend the music portion of the service, and dismiss together prior to the sermon, escorted by our ministry team leaders. The last Sunday of each month, children remain with their parents throughout the early worship service.

  Children remain with their parents every Sunday in the second worship service (11:00am).
  

• Bible Study
  There are Sunday School classes for every age group in our children's ministry (newborn-5th grade).

Sunday Evenings

• Children's Choir
  During Sunday evening worship, age-graded choirs gather in the upstairs Children's Worship Center for a time of music and fellowship (6:00pm-7:00pm). The children have an opportunity to sing in one or more of our worship services each semester.

Wednesday Evenings

• AWANA is an evangelism and discipleship program designed for children.  The founders of AWANA derived the name from the first letters of “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed,” which is taken from 2 Timothy 2:15.
  
  AWANA is offered every Wednesday evening ( 5:45pm-7:15pm).
