Preschoolers & Children
have a home at FBC!
 

At First Baptist Church, we place a high importance on children
and their faith development. We believe that children are a precious
gift from God, and we strive to provide what they need to grow into
well-rounded Christians. We offer Bible studies, music, and missions
education, as well as hands-on projects in the community, camps,
and family activities.  All of our classes and activities are geared
to meet children on their developmental level, whether they are
two years old or in the 6th grade.  There are many important
spiritual milestones in our lives, and our church makes a point
of recognizing those moments in the lives of children.

Please explore our weekly activities and some of the yearly
activities that our church offers. We would love for you and
your children to be a part of our preschool and children’s ministry!

The summer reading club is offered to preschoolers and children. A goal of pages for the children to read is set at the beginning of the summer, and if the children meet the goal, there is a fun reward.

Music Day Camp
This camp is for 1st – 6th graders. It is a fun week of music, Bible stories, games, field trips, and more!

About once a quarter we offer movie nights for 1st-6th graders. We serve pizza, watch a movie on a big screen, and it’s free!

Preschool Days
During the summer, we have several special activities just for preschoolers.

 
Go

Parent-Child Dedication — A child's dedication is a time for the child's family and the church family to pledge to be there for the child on his or her faith journey.

Bible Presentation to 1st Graders – We present Bibles to our rising first graders each September.

Big Church Bags – When children enter the first grade, they begin attending the entire worship service.  They are presented with Big Church Bags filled with quiet activities to help them listen and learn from the worship service.

Salvation – This is the time when a person recognizes personal sin, asks for forgiveness, and asks Jesus to become Lord of one’s life.

Profession of Faith – The church celebrates the time when a person publicly shares his or her decision to follow Christ.

Baptism – Those who profess their salvation are baptized as a symbol of becoming a new person in Christ.

First Communion – The first communion that a child shares with his or her faith community after becoming a Christian is recognized by inviting the child to come forward and be served communion first.
