"And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children."
- Isaiah 54:13

Our desire for the children of First Baptist Church and for the children of this generation is that they have a true encounter with God and that they will be equipped to serve Him even at this stage of their lives. Our hope is that the church will be their safe haven where they can bring their laughter, joy, tears, and disappointments and lay them before Jesus. Our joy will be seeing many come to know Jesus for the very first time and seeing Him reflected in their daily lives as they grow spiritually, mentally and physically.
