Sunday School

"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these" (Matt. 19:14). Children are precious to us at First Baptist Church. We have a strong team of loving and dedicated teachers whose goals are to help children build a strong foundation in faith and grow in their spiritual walk every Sunday morning at 9:45 a.m.. For more information email the Director of Children's Ministries, Rachel Pyles.

Mustard Seed Company

Mustard Seed is the Children's worship time on Sundays from 11:15–12:30. Jesus described the church as a mustard seed: "The smallest of seeds that grows into the largest of plants." At the Mustard Seed Co., our goal is to help children grow in Jesus Christ. Every Sunday morning we dive into God's Word through songs, games, and teaching designed just for kids. If you are in 1st through fourth grade, come join us so we can grow together.

 Summer Club runs during the summer time and runs similar to Mustard Seed.  Summer Club is a more relaxed atmosphere for the children and gives them a chance to run their own club (with adult supervision). 

Children's Music Programs

Through the Children's Music Ministry of First Baptist we glorify God and strengthen our children's ability to encounter Jesus Christ. We believe in education for our families and strive to teach music through our "Joybells" children's tonechime choir, "Music Makers" our preschool choir, and "Young Musician's" our children's choirs.

Puppet Ministry

If you are interested in puppeteering then join us on Wednesday nights for a fun time learning and rehearsing puppet plays and songs.  Our Puppet Ministry is offered to children in 4th grade and up to youth.  Our Puppet Ministry performs during our special events.

Children's Cooking Class

Cooking is such a great way for children to learn how to be creative and patient.  Every Wednesday night children will work together to put together a recipe that they will share with one another.  They will also learn how important it is for us to have all the right ingredients in our own lives.  They will learn the importance of prayer, reading the Bible, and living the Fruits of the Spirit every day.

This program has limited space so you MUST register your child for this program.

Children's Band

This program is for children who have at least a little experience with reading and playing music.  First year band students are welcome!  You must have your own instrument and be ready to use your musical talents to work on worship music to perform on Sunday mornings as well as at the Children's Variety Show. 

Lego Camp

On Wednesday nights children in 1st through 5th grade are welcome to join this new and exciting program!  Children will use their creative abilities to work together as a team to put together a lego model.  They will also work independently to complete thir own lego models that they can share with a friend or keep for themselves.  While the children are using their creative minds they will also learn the importance of building their lives on Jesus Christ.  Every week they will learn about a new building block for their lives.  Some of those building blocks are prayer, service, love, joy, peace, and patience.

This program has limited space so you MUST register your child for this program.

CiA Children in Action

Children in Action is a great missions program for children.  They will learn the importance of local and global missions and participate in both local and global missions.  Every Wednesday night they will learn about a new missionary and what that missionary is doing to share the good news about Jesus.  During the year the children participate in a CROP Walk, give food to the local food banks, make care packages and gifts for our homebound friends, and participate in Operation Christmas Child.  They also learn the importance of praying for and giving to missions.

Joybells Children's Hand Bell Choir

Joybells is a great way to introduce your child to playing music.  If your child can count then they can ring.  The program is designed for children in 3rd through 5th grade but if your child shows a desire to play music they are welcome to join.
