FBC Kids
Welcome to FBC Kids!
We value children and youth as part of the church today, and not simply as future participants.
From dedicating babies to God and their church family, to teaching Bible stories to preschool and elementary-aged children through play and other age-appropriate learning styles, to walking children and youth through the spiritual process of choosing to follow Jesus, we believe that our work as a church family is to love children and their families and help nurture faith in positive and meaningful ways. We believe in helping families grow together in faith at home as well, and our staff and volunteers will provide resources and opportunities to learn about this regularly.
Covenant Ministry
We are in covenant ministry with our sister church, Chatham Heights Baptist. We share a Family Minister and hold a lot of our special children events together.
FBC Kids on Sundays
Children’s Church
After the children’s message on the first – third Sundays of the month, elementary aged children are invited to join two of our children’s ministry volunteers for an age appropriate Bible lesson.
On fourth and fifth Sundays, children are welcome to stay in the service.
Worship Care / Nursery
During the worship hour, the church nursery is available for childcare for the whole hour or a partial hour (leaving the worship service early). Staffed by a minimum of two nursery care workers, the worship care hour can accommodate infants to children aged 4 years.
Children’ Worship
Children are a welcome part of worship at First Baptist Church. Parents can have their children present in the Sanctuary for all or part of the worship hour at 11AM each Sunday. Children are provided worship bags to help them focus on the service in their own ways.

Your Children are SAFE Here
Children & Youth Protection Policy
First Baptist Church (FBC) is committed to providing a church environment that is a safe place for children and youth and that will protect them from any abuse when they are involved in the FBC Early Learning Center (ELC), Sunday School, and various youth and other church related activities. FBC has adopted Children & Youth Protection Policies and Procedures to maximize safety and prevent child abuse and neglect from occurring within its church community.
Parents can rest assured that at First Baptist Church all nursery care workers, teachers, and ministerial staff have had background checks and been trained on our policies and procedures.
Adequate supervision will be provided for the age and number of children’s present, and we have procedures to handle any issues that may come up in the care and faith growth of the children in our church and Early Learning Center.
