The Early Childhood Ministry of FBC, First Steps, places great value on the children that come through our doors. We are dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for children ages birth through three years old, where they can learn, by example, the love of Jesus. We desire to partner with parents to help their children take their “First Steps” toward a lifelong, joy-filled relationship with the Lord.

We provide childcare during Sunday morning worship services, various women’s bible studies, seasonal events, and other church organized events.

Currently our childcare wing is divided into two separate rooms.

  • Nursery: infants through 2 years of age
  • Wigglers: 2 through 3 years of age

We are constantly looking at our numbers and ready to make age/room adjustments as needed to ensure that the children are in developmentally appropriate environments. Safety is always a priority. To ensure the safety of the children we consistently require that all volunteers complete a reference check before they are scheduled to serve. You can be assured that your child is being cared for by loving Christ followers.

What people are saying about First Steps childcare ministry:

“Our children are more than a pager number and a nametag.” -Parent

“We enjoy seeing the young families come with their children. We see this as an opportunity to connect with these families.” -Volunteer

“Quality early childhood care at our church has been the springboard from which my husband and I could comfortably teach and be taught.” -Parent

“There is a place for children at First Baptist.” -Volunteer

“God made me to love the children and this family (at FBC).” -Student Volunteer

“…I realized that this (childcare) is a ministry for the parents as well as the children. I am reassured that my children are well taken care of when I teach Sunday school and go to worship service Sunday mornings.” -Parent
