 The purpose of the Children's Ministry of First Baptist Church is to guide and disciple children as they become followers of Jesus Christ. We seek to support the mission of our church – to be a family of faith seeking to know Christ and make Him known. The Great Commandment and Great Commission guide all that we are and all that we do.
There is a new Children's Newsletter. The current edition is available by clicking here.
The First Baptist Church Children's Center is a ministry of the church. Please click here for more information about this highly rated Winston-Salem children's center. |

 Missions and Music Celebration: On Wednesday, May 14, our children shared testimonies and songs about what they had been learning during Wednesday evening Missions and Music. One very special song they sang was "Will You Pray for Me?" Please note that there will be special activities for the children on Wednesdays, May 21 and May 28; we will then resume with Missions and Music in August.

 Children's Easter Celebration: Children and guests had a great time as over 120 people gathered together on Palm Sunday, March 16, to learn about the Easter story and about the life of Jesus. Children used music and story time, art activities, and more for a great afternoon of fun and discipleship.

Pajama Party: On February 9, our pre-schoolers (and parents!) had a great time at the pajama party. The theme for the Children's year was "Pray Always" from 1 Thessalonians 5:17. So, in addition to crafts and music, time was spent in prayer.

Sunday Morning Bible Study
Sunday Morning Bible Study provides age-appropriate Bible learning opportunities for Babies through 5th grade children each Sunday from 9:45 - 10:45 am.
Our goal is to help each preschooler form positive attitudes about God, Jesus, the Bible, self, others, the natural world, family, and church.Teachers use direct instruction and play to help lay spiritual foundations.
Children's Sunday Morning Bible Study strives to help children learn Bible truths and foundations of the Christian faith as they read and study Bible stories. Children develop skills so that they may use their Bibles for personal Bible study and spiritual growth.
Wednesday Evenings
Each Wednesday evening from 5:00 - 6:00PM (August - May with a Christmas break), we offer a cafeteria-style family dinner. The Timothy Ringers (a handbell choir for grades 3-5) practice before dinner from 4 - 4:55 PM and then all children, ages 3 years - 5th grade, gather after dinner for Missions and Music from 6:00-7:30 pm. Childcare is available for babies-2 year olds.
MISSIONS
Preschoolers and children learn and do missions on Wednesday evenings. Preschoolers, ages 3 years - pre-k, participate in Mission Friends while children in grades kindergarten - 5th grade take part in Children In Action (CIA).
MUSIC
Children's Choirs
Wednesday evening music is vital for the development and understanding of music, church music and spiritual growth. Children ages 3 - pre-k participate in Music Time, a non-performing group. Children in kindergarten-2nd grades make up our Music Makers choir and children in 3rd - 5th grades sing in the Young Musicians. The Music Makers and Young Musicians lead in worship services at various times throughout the year.
Timothy Ringers
Welcome to the Timothy Ringers, a newly created group! The Timothy Ringers are a performing handbell choir made up of 3rd-5th graders. The ringers rehearse on every Wednesday afternoon before our church's fellowship dinner. The Timothy Ringers prepare music to offer in the 11:00 worship service, and they develop basic handbell skills such as "change ringing." Interested? Come join the group!

Safety and Security
Let's us work together on the following to keep our children and guests safe. Thanks for working together!
Please drop off and pick up all children no earlier and no later than 15 minutes following scheduled events and classes.
Parents of Preschoolers - Please keep pagers with you at all times when your children are in the preschool area and return pagers immediately when picking up children.
Try to drop off and pick up preschoolers and children at doors rather than entering rooms so that we can minimize accidents and confusion in rooms with adult teachers and leaders.
Please escort children to and from locations and do not assume that teachers are in rooms or at locations such as gym or playground where you might think that adults are available for supervision. Please do not leave a child in classrooms without an adult. |
