Children’s Ministries
We are excited to resume in-person ministry to the preschool-age children on Sundays. Our ministry team is ready to greet and teach your children. We wanted to share with you the measures that we have taken to ensure your child’s safety each morning both with COVID and overall measures.
All volunteers will be wearing masks or shields, masks for children are highly recommended, however, they are not required. Volunteers and children are voluntarily having their temperature taken at the door to screen. Hand Sanitizing stations are in place in each room and at the entrance and exit of each ministry area. Ministry areas are sanitized after each use. Furniture has been minimized; only larger children’s classrooms are being used to allow social distancing. Hula hoops are used to create a warm welcoming environment and to aid children in staying within safe spaces. Two age groups (only) meet each week at 9:00. Sign-ups are required and a limited number of children in each age group can attend currently (i.e. 2-3’s = 5 and 4-5’s =10).
Dedicated supply boxes have been prepared. Your child will have their own supply box each week. These supply boxes will not be shared within the preschool group. Even the children’s snack is included in this supply box.
Signage is in place for handwashing, face masks and a reminder to all that if a child is not feeling well on a Sunday morning to not bring them into the ministry areas to protect and love our neighbors.

EMPHASIS:
Jesus! That ‘s what kids ministry at First Baptist is all about. Kids Ministry at First Baptist is Christ-Centered. Our team, our time, our schedule, our special events, all our stuff is about Jesus, the heart of the Gospel! All of it is about teaching children to know, love, and follow Christ, God’s only Son, and our Savior all the days of their lives.
So how do we do this? We make a HUGE deal about these 8 things
- Digging into the Word of God each week. Classes are divided by smaller age groups – gifted teachers teach the children. It isn’t often that we sit them in front of a screen to learn.
- Weekly communicating the Gospel clearly and intentionally.
- Making much of God’s grace, mercy, and truth.
- Building relationships with kids and parents each week.
- Partnering with parents by connecting what we learn each Sunday to the home.
- Sharing God’s great mission for His people here and everywhere in the whole world. Love God, Love People & Make Disciples!
- Encouraging children to use their talents in ministry.
- Oh yeah, having lots of fun!
SPECIAL EVENTS:
- All-Age Bible Lessons-This is a special Bible lesson for ALL AGES offered 3 times a year in the church fellowship hall. Praise, prayer, Bible teaching, and a resource table for every age are all part of this special time. An equipping piece for parents is offered during our all-age class.
- Nerf Wars – Fun nights for elementary boys grades 1-5. Fun, fellowship, devotions, and food!
- Girls Nights – Fun nights for girls grade 1-5 throughout the year themed, planned, and hosted by our elementary-age girls.
