Children's Ministry

We love kids at First Baptist Denison!

We have two goals with our children’s ministry:

To immerse our kids in the love and knowledge of Jesus from their time in the nursery to the time they mature into adolescence.

To come alongside parents as they teach their children about God at home.

Ongoing Ministries

Sunday School - Sundays at 9:45 a.m.

Children from preschool to 4th grade gather together for “Shine Time” in the common children’s area (located on the second floor of the main building; enter through the office entrance). “Shine Time” is for singing and fun, before breaking up into individual classes: Pre-K, K-1st grade, 2nd grade, and 3rd-4th grade. In these classes, dedicated teachers introduce kids to the foundations of the faith—the books of the Bible, God’s great story, and the gospel—as kids connect with other kids who will support them along the way.

Children's Worship - Sundays at 11:00 a.m.

Kids (age 3 through 4th grade) begin worship with their parents in the sanctuary before being dismissed to children’s worship. At children’s worship, kids have their own worship experience, with music and age-appropriate activities to reinforce biblical truth and engage kids in living the way Jesus teaches.

Family Worship - 2nd & 5th Sundays at 11:00 a.m.

On the 2nd and 5th Sundays of the month, kids are invited into the worship service to worship with their families. This opportunity connects kids to their parents’ faith and other adults. Family worship on 2nd Sundays is kindergarten and up. Family worship on 5th Sundays also includes preschoolers. (Nursery for ages 2 and under is provided for every service).

Disciple Kids - Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m.

Wednesday nights serve as first steps for our kids as they learn the basics of following Jesus. Kids learn the same principles as the adults in our discipleship process through age-appropriate games and lessons from the Bible and from Christian heroes from history.

Nursery & Toddlers - Sundays & Wednesdays

Infants and toddlers through age 2 have a dedicated area just for them during Sunday school, worship, and Wednesday night. We believe no child is too young to begin to learn about God’s love for them. Little ones play and learn in a caring, safe environment made just for them.

Special Events

Block Party

Every year, we get together for food and a lot of fun at our block party! There’s lots of things to do for kids. In 2024, our event will feature a ninja warrior course that kids will get to try out! For more information, please visit our Block Party page.

Child Dedication

Once per year, we offer a special opportunity for parents to publicly commit to raising their children to know and honor the Lord Jesus. We present each family before the church, pray and bless each child, and give each child a Bible or Bible story book that parents can read together with their children.

Kids Camp

Summer camp is where kids get away to grow together and to grow closer to God… and have lots of fun!

Vacation Bible School

VBS is one of the most exciting weeks of the year! Learn more about it at our VBS page
