FBC Kids

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..." Matthew 19:14

Our Children’s Ministries are offered for children ages 1st through 6th grade. This includes Sunday School classes, Wednesday night activities, and other special activities. We train children to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ through fun, educational, and age-appropriate activities in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. We consider it a privilege to work with each child in guiding them toward the time when they will come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.

Sunday School

Sunday Mornings, 9:30 a.m.- 10:30 a.m.

During our Sunday school hour, our Preschool classes, as well as all of our children and youth classes, are being taught from a curriculum purchased from Lifeway. The Gospel Project is what is taught at this time. The Gospel Project for Kids is a Christ-centered ongoing weekly Bible study resource that looks at the big picture of God’s story: the story of redemption through Jesus Christ. Each week, kids of all ages will follow a chronological timeline of Bible events, all the while learning how each story points to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our Bible study classes are grade-specific groups. They are:
  • PreK 3 & 4
  • Kindergarten
  • 1st & 2nd
  • 3rd & 4th
  • 5th & 6th
