Here at First Baptist, our Children's Ministry is "First Kids!" The children attend Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. on Sundays, and during worship, Ms. Jamie has a Children's Message, then the kids are dismissed to Children's Church. On the 4th Sunday of the month, children remain in the Sanctuary for "Parenting in the Pew", you can learn more about this program by reading the book "Parenting in the Pew: Guiding Your Children into the Joy of Worship," by Robbie Castleman.

A 4-week series from the Old Testament about the prophets Series Overview: Kids love to be in the kitchen. They may even love helping prepare something delicious! Having a plan or a recipe usually helps, too. Just like having a plan in the kitchen helps the meal we hope to enjoy, the stories of the Old Testament prophets are like a cookbook that helped people prepare for the Savior that God would send one day. Even though there's no exact recipe, kids will find that they can prepare themselves for a loving relationship with God when they 1) trust God, 2) talk to God, 3) listen to God, and 4) leave the results to God.) BIG IDEAS & BIBLE STORIES God’s words are always in season. (Delight in God's Ways: Psalm 1; Mark 13:28–31) God leads us in every season. (The Lord Is My Shepherd: Psalm 23; Luke 15:1–7) God hears us no matter the season. (Create in Me a Pure Heart: Psalm 51; 1 Timothy 2:1–7) We can thank God for every season. (Give Thanks: Psalm 100; 1 Timothy 6:6–16)
