Children's Ministry at First Baptist Church

At First Baptist Church, we cherish children just as Jesus did in His ministry. We believe in nurturing the growth of the whole family, guiding children as they lay the foundations for their relationship with God. Our goal is to equip children with the wisdom to make wise choices, the faith to trust God, and the ability to build meaningful friendships and treat others with kindness.

OUR APPROACH

WE EMPHASIZE FOUR ESSENTIAL FAITH SKILLS TO HELP CHILDREN GROW

IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD:

1. HEAR


Listening to God's Word teaches children to trust God in all circumstances.

2. PRAY


Through prayer, children connect with God, expressing gratitude, seeking forgiveness, and sharing their feelings.

3. TALK


Articulating their faith helps children deepen their understanding of God and share Jesus with others.

4. LIVE


Worshiping with their lives, children learn that worship is more than songs—it's about honoring God in everything they do.
