What do these programs provide?
Children’s Church engages kids, ages 4 through 2nd grade, teaching basic Bible knowledge and how to worship God through music and other activities.
Kids are released from both adult services and parents pick them up in room B-1.
Children’s Church Coordinator: Meghan Rutherford

The Nursery provides a loving and safe Christ-centered environment for babies and toddlers, building an introductory connection to their church family, and provides a worry-free break for parents and guardians while they attend the morning’s events designed for them.  Infants through age 3 toddlers are welcomed during all three services.
Lead Care Providers: Miranda Sandberg, Linda Prince, and Angie Grenier

Reign Forest teaches kids about Christ in a fun, loving and safe place, instilling and building upon Biblical truths, helping them grow a strong relationship with Christ. Located in the B-wing, from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Preschoolers meet in rooms B5-7 during the entire hour, building a strong Bible foundation with a curriculum just for them.
Grades K-6 begin together in the Li’l Great Room (B4-6-8) for announcements and worship. Then they break into grade-specific groups for teaching: Grades K-2 in room B5-7; grades 3-4 stay in room B4-6-8; grades 5-6 travel to room A7-9.
We ask that parents check their children in at the children’s ministry desk in the lobby and pick up a Reign Forest card which they’ll need to pick up all children in Preschool through grade 4 (grades 5 and 6 are released to find their parents unless otherwise requested). You will need that pick-up card in order to be in the B-wing hallway—please help us maintain a safe environment for all the kids by supporting this system!
Reign Forest Directors: Kelly Jones & Donna Leupp

AWANA (Approved workmen are not ashamed) helps churches and parents worldwide raise children and youth to know, love and serve Christ. At FBC we serve ages 4 through grade 6. We're currently on break for the summer -- look for September start date to come!  It’s never too late to join—parents are asked to sign their children in at the registration desk in the lobby and pick them up in the "B-Wing".
Commander: Doug Smith

Camp: Recognizing that Christian Camps provide uniquely excellent opportunities for spiritual growth, Faith Baptist Church Camp Ministry offers camp scholarships to individuals or families in need of financial assistance in order to attend. This opportunity is provided for four local camps: Lake Ellen, Lake Lundgren, Northland Camp and Silver Birch Ranch.
