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. 

Get Involved:

Sunday Mornings

Sunday School | 8:45am

Sunday School classes provide opportunity for growth in discipleship and relationship building in a small group setting. Classes are divided by age and gender.

Main Worship Service | 10:15am

Childcare for babies-2nd graders is available during the Main Worship Service. Babies-preschool children will remain in their Sunday School class for the entirety of the service, while K-2nd grade children sit in the first part of the service and are dismissed to their own service (G-Force) prior to the sermon.

wednesday evenings

6:30-7:30PM

During the school year, K-5th graders take part in Children’s Choir, practicing on Wednesday evenings and performing on designated Sunday mornings! During the summer, K-5th graders take part in games and a Bible study focused on a particular topic.

Preschool children are divided based on age group and spend their time on Wednesday evenings learning biblical truth through play.

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.
