Thank you for checking out the Children's Page at First Baptist Church. We are so glad that you are interested in this ministry. For more up-to-date information about schedules or events, please go to our children's blog www.childrenatfbc.blogspot.com.

Thank you for your prayers and support as we come together to raise a generation who will share and spread the love of God.

First Baptist children’s ministry operates from the belief that when Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me,” He meant it!

Scripture indicates that Jesus loves children and wants children to come to Him and know His love. Our goal in First Baptist children's ministry is to provide an environment that is inviting, safe, and in all ways nurturing to children in each step they take toward Jesus.

For more information on the specific programs and events we offer children, please see any area of interest below.  For more information, please call Elizabeth Barnard at our church office (704-873-7231), or send her an email at elizabeth@statesvillefbc.org.

Sunday Mornings for Children

Check in for Kids before Worship

Parents are asked to check their children in at the Kids Zone room and receive wristbands for parent and child. 

Kids Zone - Sundays 8:30 & 10:55 a.m.
Children 3 years old through 3rd grade are invited into our Kids Zone, where they will experience worship, Bible stories, and activities such as crafts and theme-related games. Kids Zone runs the 1st – 4th Sundays of each month. On the 5th Sunday of the month, families are encouraged to worship together for Family Sunday. Family Sunday allows children to experience and learn about worship through example.

Kids Zone is located on the ground level of our Family Life Center directly across from the Fellowship Hall and Gymnasium.

Sunday School - 9:45-10:40 a.m.
Our nursery ministry is available during the Sunday school hour for infants and toddlers.  Preschool and elementary children’s Sunday school classes are held for pre-school through grade 5. In Sunday school, children will be taught with a Bible-based curriculum that rotates around the church calendar year.

Our children’s Sunday school classes are located on the ground level of our Family Life Center. Each classroom is labeled by age/grade and teacher. Simply enter the children’s hallway and follow the loop around to find your class.
