Youth and Children's Ministry

At First Brethren, we take children's ministry seriously. Each of our children and youth workers are fingerprinted to ensure the safety of your child (as well for the protection of our workers). We offer age-appropriate programming for all ages, beginning with toddlers. We believe that God wants us all to help raise our children in a good, safe environment, where they can learn more about Him.

One of the things we are currently working on is a continuous curriculum that works to teach children and youth about key Christian elements all through their development. Such key elements include prayer, salvation, God, sin, and more. Our intention is to help your kids learn what it means to be a Christian so well that when they graduate from high school, having grown up in our church, they will have what it takes to make the right decisions as adults. We want very much for everyone to live with a solid foundation in order to draw closer to Jesus Christ, loving him, loving others, and making disciples with every walk of their life.

At the left are several links that will help you learn more about our youth programming. Feel free to check them out. They're often updated with information letting you know what's going on in our youth and children's ministries.
