Children's Ministries

The Children's Ministry at First offers many opportunities for your child to have fun while learning life-changing, biblical stories taught by able volunteers in safe environments.

All-Stars Kids Church & Jr. Kids Church
Currently on hiatus for the summer, All-Stars and Jr. Kids Church offer a place for kids to worship while their parents attend "big church." All-Stars is for 1st-5th graders, meets in the Rec Center, and is taught by committed and creative leaders who relay God's truth though biblical teachings, interactive dramas, puppets, fun games, and object lessons. Jr. Kid's Church is for 4 and 5 year olds where they will enjoy age-appropriate crafts, worship, puppets, and a Bible lesson. Both groups meet every Sunday at 11am, except for the first Sunday of the month, where the children are encouraged to attend "big church" with their families.
