Children's Ministries

Providing quality care and activities for preschoolers and children is a top priority for us at First Baptist Church London. Our little ones receive special attention, instruction, nurturing and love. Each child is surrounded by God's love through caring adults.  Through a rich offering of organized programs all year long, we strive to share God's grace, joy, and love in a meaningful way.

Kid's Own Worship
Each Sunday, children begin the 10:40 worship service in the sanctuary with their parents. Just before the sermon, (usually during a hymn), children ages 4 - 3rd grade meet in the lobby and are escorted to classrooms to begin Kid's Own Worship. Each week there is an object lesson, a time of singing, a craft or a story. The children have a great time, and it allows a better worship time for parents and older children. All you have to do is watch for their dismissal during each worship service!
Are you a lover of children and want to help them develop a love for Sunday Morning Worship time?? If so, we are always looking for more teams to generate new ideas.

Annual Prayer Service for Youth
In January of each year, First Baptist Church London dedicates a service to our children and youth. The sanctuary is filled with balloons and each one has the name of a child or youth attached to it. At the end of the service, church members take a balloon and commit to praying for that child for the entire year. This prayer service has become a very special yearly event.

 


Spring Egg-stravaganza
Easter time brings in our annual egg hunt located on First Baptist Church London campus. This event usually includes an inflatable slide, along with a variety of games and activities. This is a great fellowship time for kids and families.
 

Fall Festival
The annual Fall Festival is one of many ways the First Baptist Church family ministers to the local community. We offer a safe alternative to Halloween for children of all ages. In 2007 we provided a variety of kid-friendly activities, including: carnival games, cake walk, face painting, hay ride, inflatable slide and much more!
