Kid's Ministry

FBC CHILDREN

We make every effort to provide a safe and loving environment for children Newborn - 5th grade.

"But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them,

for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Luke 18:16

We are committed to loving and nurturing our little ones with the love of Jesus Christ. For the safety of our children, all nursery caregivers are church members or regular attendees who have completed a voluntary background check processed and filed through the church office.

Our loving and dedicated staff and volunteers would like to let you know that we consider your children precious gifts from the Lord, and we look forward to ministering to them throughout the year!
