At First Baptist, we are concerned for the total development of children – his/her physical, spiritual and emotional growth in the years from birth through age three. It is our goal to provide your child with a stimulating, well equipped, interesting, healthy and spiritual atmosphere in which to grow.

The nursery is available for newborns to 3 year old children. The nursery is available during regularly scheduled worship meetings. The nursery is a ministry of Christ-like love and nurturing to the infants and a ministry to the parents so that they may attend services and adult classes with the knowledge that their child is being cared for in a loving environment.
