At FBCA, we desire to provide a safe and nurturing environment where children may experience God’s unconditional love in a Christian community and are encouraged to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Preschool (older 3s) through 6th grade (10 am to noon)
Kids learn to

Volunteering in Kids’ Ministry
"The commandments I give you today must be in your hearts. Make sure your children learn them. Talk about them when you are at home. Talk about them when you walk along the road. Speak about them when you go to bed. And speak about them when you get up. Write them down and tie them on your hands as a reminder. Also tie them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frames of your houses. Also write them on your gates." Deuteronomy 6:6-9
I encourage all parents to come be apart of kids’ ministry.

On behalf of FBCA, I would like to personally thank you for your contribution of time to Children’s Ministry during 2009. The programs on both Sunday and Wednesday as well as special events such as VBS and Kids’ Camp would not have been a success without the help of you and the many volunteers who donated their time loving kids’ and sharing their love of Jesus Christ. As a parent, I am so thankful for the volunteers who are committed to faithfully teach God’s word. Don’t forget to give your child’s teachers a word of encouragement and thank you for their service to the body of Christ.
