FBP Kids
We seek to deposit the gospel of Christ in the hearts of children with the goal of cultivating love for God and others.

Catechism usage:
We utilize catechisms with our kids to equip them with key knowledge of the Christian faith. Catechisms focus on memorization and recitation to drive spiritual concepts into the heart from an early age. At First Baptist Powell, we specifically use the New City Catechism, which features 52 questions and answers that are memorized in different amounts depending on age. Learn more on the New City Catechism page.
