At First Baptist, we are committed to following Jesus’ example by welcoming children into our church family. During a child’s infancy, we covenant with parents to be partners with them in nurturing their child and in helping them grow to know and love Jesus as friend, Savior and Lord. Our varied programs for children are directed toward that end.

Our theme this year is “Imagine” coming from Ephesians 3:20-21 which says “God can do anything, you know – far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! God does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, the Spirit deeply and gently within us.”
You will receive a button, a sticker, and a postcard with a prayer for you for this year. These are for you to put in various places as reminders of this day and reminders of how many people love you, are here to help you, and are praying for you. When your book bags and work bags start to feel very heavy, remember there are people here to help lighten the load for you.
 
Amid the school year, we want to share a prayer, written by Rev. Amy Starr Russell. If you haven’t received a postcard, button or sticker, you may pick them up in the church office anytime during office hours. May you take this prayer with you throughout the school year!

Serving & Volunteering with Children’s Ministry

As we welcome new babies, children, and their families to our church, our ministry to children is growing! With all of this wonderful growth, our volunteer needs are growing as well. From rocking newborn babies to playing with preschoolers, we need your help during the worship hour. Would you consider giving just a few Sundays volunteering in Nursery caring for our youngest children during worship?

No matter your age or ability, there is a place for you! We hope you will partner with our growing children’s ministry. We will provide any training and materials. To provide the safest and most secure environment possible, all ministry partners must be approved through FBCs Policy for Volunteers with Minors and Vulnerable Adults.
