Children's Ministry

Here at FBC Danville, children are an integral part of our ministry. In a world where truth is diluted and children are often left to fend for themselves, we proclaim the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ and present God’s Word in a way that impacts young lives for eternity. Children need a biblical foundation so they can make right choices in their childhood, teen, and adult years. These right choices will, in turn, cause them to make a positive impact in society, both today and for eternity. We consider it a privilege and a high calling to teach the littlest children more about Jesus and how much He loves and cares for them!

Children are an important part of the community here at First Baptist. Because they are a “heritage of the Lord” and a “reward” from Him (Psalm 127:3), children are to be treasured. During every service, we happily provide nursery care for infants and children up to three years old. Three different nurseries, separated by age and development and staffed by caring workers, allow for a comfortable, safe place for your child to sleep, eat, or play during the service.

Jesus set the example for loving children when He blessed them in Matthew 19, saying, “Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Just as Jesus placed a significant value on children, we desire to impact the lives of this special age group. It is a joy to see children in Junior Church trust Jesus as their Savior and grow in their faith.

During the Sunday morning worship service, our four and five year olds listen to Bible and missionary stories, sing, and learn about their Creator God. First- through fourth-grade children meet separately to review what they’ve learned from previous weeks and to learn new challenges from the Bible. They also have a time to sing and work on memory verses.
