Children’s Ministry

At First Baptist Church, we believe that children are blessings from God. We are committed to guiding children to develop a life-long, loving relationship with God! Our Children’s and Preschool Ministries exist to partner with families as we share the love of Jesus Christ with children and guide them to become disciples of Christ. We welcome the opportunity to partner with you in the spiritual development of your child as we provide a safe, nurturing environment.
