FBC Student miNISTRIES

The goal of our student ministry is discipling students while providing them with opportunities to serve and invest in others. Each Sunday morning and Wednesday evening, students are encouraged and challenged to desire and delight in Christ as they are equipped to fulfill the mission of making disciples for the glory of God.

Student are also given the opportunity to be involved in youth committees through which they are taught to be purposeful in developing, organizing, and executing corporate ministries throughout the year.

Additionally, students meet in small groups, which provide an opportunity for encouragement from an adult mentor who prays with them and provides accountability.

Because parents play a primary role in discipling students, we meet with parents at different points throughout the year to inform the m about what the students are learning and to provide resources that will help them fulfill their role well.
To inquire for more information about our junior high or senior high youth ministries, please contact the church office at 641.782.5417.

FBC Kids

SUNDAYS

Every Sunday and Wednesday we offer an infant nursery and a toddler nursery for your little ones.
Sunday School classes are available for kids of every age through 12th grade.  In those classes, your children/youth will walk through the Bible and learn about Jesus Christ in an age-appropriate way.  The classes are fun-filled and taught by committed and trained volunteers.

WEDNESDAYS

During the school year on Wednesday nights we have an FBC Kids ministry that helps our children and junior high youth learn about God through Scripture memory and Bible lessons. Contact us to learn more about our FBC Kids ministry.
During the summer months FBC Kids continues in a different format; however, children continue to participate in songs, games, crafts, and Bible lessons.

SAFETY AND SECURITY

Here at First Baptist Church we take the safety and security of your children seriously. We have a dedicated security team made up of former and current law enforcement officers in our building for church activities. Our building is equipped with a monitoring security system. Every lead teacher must be a member of our church and have been in regular attendance for six months before assuming a children’s leadership position. Trained teachers are with your children at all times.

FBC Adults

ADULT BIBLE FELLOWSHIPS

Every Sunday following our morning worship service, we offer adult Bible studies in a small-group format. They are called Adult Bible Fellowships. We would love to each adult join one of these fellowship groups. Each A.B.F. focuses on biblical teaching, Christian fellowship, caring for one another, and Christian service opportunities.

A.B.F. Growth Groups

On Sunday evenings during the months that have five Sundays, instead of our normal evening worship service, each A.B.F. hosts its own “Growth Group.” The best way to be a part of our Growth Groups is to connected with one of our Adult Bible Fellowships.

Biblical Counseling

We understand that there are times in life where we just need a helping hand. We want to come alongside you and encourage you with biblical truth that will bring about lasting change and offer eternal hope. We believe God has given us all we need to know Him and live in a way that pleases Him in His Word. All our difficulties may not evaporate, however, when a person willingly submits to God’s instructions and clings to His promises, there is always help and hope.
