Welcome to FBC Children’s Ministry!
At First Baptist Church of Madison, we value the joy and excitement of our little ones. We consider it a privilege to minister to your children on Sundays and Wednesdays, and we look forward to getting to know your family! Because we know that YOU are the primary spiritual influencers of your children, we want to PARTNER with you in pointing your children to Christ. If there is anything we can do to support or help you in your spiritual role as a parent, please let us know!
Safety is of the utmost importance to our children’s ministry team. We want to keep your kids in a safe environment where they can easily learn more about God and grow in their spiritual walk . In order for us to ensure that your child is picked up by the correct adult, please create a free family account at KidCheck.com. When you drop off your child in any of our ministry events, we will require you to log into our check-in computer or use the Kid Check app on your phone to print a child and guardian nametag.
Nursery Care
We love all of our FBC friends–especially our little ones! Infants to preschool children are invited to our nursery care classes during both services and Sunday School. We make sure that our volunteers are trained to care for your little ones well, paying attention to your child’s physical needs and spiritual growth. Feel free to come by our preschool desk at the back left entrance of our building to register your child into his/her classroom!
Sunday School
Sunday School is on Sunday mornings @ 10:30 AM. Our volunteers lead their classrooms in age-appropriate and fun activities that get our kids excited about the Word of God! We use Lifeway and Group curriculum for the following classes:
Two Year Olds (Room 404)
Preschool (Room 400)
Kinder (Room 127)
Grade 1 (Room 129)
Grade 2 (Room 131)
Grade 3 (Room 133)
Grade 4 (Room 126)
Grade 5 (Room 132)
Sunday Children’s Church
Children’s church happens every Sunday morning during the pastor’s sermon. Right before the pastor gives his message, children ages 4 through 2nd grade are invited to exit the sanctuary and follow our volunteers to attend a special service just for them! Attendance is optional, and parents are welcome to keep their children in the service if they would prefer to sit together.
Wednesday Night Ministry
On Wednesday nights at 6:30 PM, children Kinder-5th grade participate in our Team Kid Ministry and Kids Choir Ministry. For 30 minutes, the kids engage in a fun Bible study lead by our awesome volunteers. Then, they transition to 30 minutes of Kids Choir led by our Minister of Music. Preschoolers engage in “Preschool Music and Missions” taught by Anna Claire Vollers and Rachel Davis. Nursery for younger kids is also available for parents attending our Wednesday night classes.
Children’s Events

- Back to School Sunday morning worship service
