Realizing that our children are a gift from God, a great emphasis is placed on their development. Sunday School teaches them about the love of Jesus. Our Wednesday evening children's ministry, Vacation Bible School, camping ministries and youth programming all present children the plan of salvation. Dedicated workers minister to our children using innovative studies of God's Word. A nursery is provided as well on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings.

Our Goals for Children's Ministry
- Stimulate kids' desire to learn and grow.
- Build on their curiosity and their desire to enjoy life in Christ.
- Teach about God's loving care and the Bible's life-transforming truths.
- Help kids experience church as a delightful place to be.
Our Wednesday night children's ministry utilizes the Gospel Project curriculum. This school year we will be focusing on the Acts and Epistles.
Youth Ministry
The teenage years are a time of vulnerability for Christian young people, and at the same time a great period of evangelism. Our youth ministry exists to REACH non-believing students, to CONNECT them with other Christians, to help them GROW in their faith, and to challenge the growing to DISCOVER their ministry and HONOR God with their life. How do we do that? By offering to students many different opportunities and methods of exploring who God is and how He relates to their life. We know students these days are very busy, so we offer as much as possible to help them find opportunities to plug in
- Sunday School – Small group Bible study
- Wednesday night – Praise and Worship, and a Bible lesson
- Special Events – Events are scheduled during the year to which the student can interact with each other and invite their friends
Our Youth Group will be working through the “Abiding in Jesus” curriculum from Truth 78 (Formerly known as Children Desiring God).
College Ministry
FBC has joined hands with CRU to have an impact on the campus of CMU. We are excited about the many opportunities this will give us as we minister to help students become all they can be in Christ.
Every college age student is invited to come on Thursday evenings at 9:00. Students find food, friends they didn't know they had, sing worship songs and learn more about God and His will for their lives. This is a great way to meet other Christians on campus and connect them to the local church.
Students also meet for Sunday School at 9:30am, followed by the morning worship service. We can provide transportation if you'd like to come.
Men's Ministries
God has called men to leadership in their homes, churches and communities. We offer practical opportunities for men to better their skills in these vital areas. Through the year various opportunities are offered for men to deepen their relationship with Christ and sharpen each other as men so that whether in the home, or the shopping mall, the church or the workplace, their testimony for Jesus is seen. Men's ministries include:
- Monthly Men's Breakfast the first Saturday of the month at 8 a.m. from October through May.
- Men's Bible Study – Two options for times to meet; Wednesday at 6:30 or Thursdays at Noon. This spring we will be studying the book of Ecclesiastes.
Women's Ministries
The purpose of Women's Ministries is to create and organize opportunities which meet the needs of ladies in the areas of Spiritual Growth, Service and Fellowship. This is accomplished by encouraging growth among the ladies of this congregation and by warmly reaching out to the women of our community, this being in order with the overall purpose of First Baptist Church.
Women's Ministries include:
- Women's Bible Study – Two options for times to meet; Mondays at 1:30 p.m. and Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. This spring the women will be studying the Gospel of Matthew.
- Retreats and special events like “Pizza and Paint,” Christmas Parties, and a Ladies' Tea.
- A sewing group that meets together and works on personal projects as well as projects for missions or community needs.
- A group of ladies in their 60's and up who meet for fellowship and service projects for different ministries and outreach/evangelistic opportunities.
