JESUS SAID, "LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME TO ME..."
Our goal is to create meaningful opportunities for children to explore their faith, engage with others, and grow in their relationship with Jesus. We pray that through these experiences, our children will develop a lifelong passion for following Christ.

Our church has been offering a preschool to prepare children between 3-5 years old as they prepare for kindergarten for over 25 years.
More than just a daycare or mothers' day out, we follow a cirriculum that teaches handwriting and phonics through "Sing, Spell, Read, & Write".
Our students thrive in this structure built on the foundation of teaching them God's word, and His great love for them.
Charvonne Sommers took the reins from Becky Gunter in 2025, and views our preschool program as her ministry. Her love for our Lord and her students shows in everything she does!
At FBCKids, our dedicated volunteers are trained to create a safe, welcoming environment where parents can confidently entrust their children while they attend services. Each volunteer undergoes a thorough background check, is CPR certified, and all children's areas are closely monitored by security personnel and cameras for added safety. In our Nursery, children are checked in securely, and parents receive a ticket for pick-up. For your peace of mind, no child will be released without the ticket being presented by a verified adult. Parents, rest assured – your children are in good hands!
At FBCKids, every child will engage in an age-appropriate lesson designed to help them discover God's love and His plan for their lives. Our teaching is interactive and tailored to different learning styles, ensuring that every child can connect with the message in a meaningful way. Our goal is to raise up world-changers who not only understand who Jesus is but also experience how His love transforms their lives. And of course, they’ll have a blast doing it!
CHILDREN'S SUNDAY SCHOOL
FBCKids Sunday School ministers to children from six weeks old through 5th grade, with a heart to encourage their spiritual growth. Through dynamic lessons, engaging videos, and hands-on activities, our dedicated teachers share the timeless truths of God’s Word in ways that are both age-appropriate and meaningful.
Sunday School is a key time of discipleship, designed to nurture spiritual growth and deepen children’s understanding of God’s Word.
NURSERY MINISTRY
SUNDAYS, 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM
Serving children from six weeks to 2 years old, the nursery provides a safe and nurturing environment where parents can focus on their own worship and spiritual growth, knowing their children are being lovingly cared for and receiving godly teaching.
CHILDREN'S CHURCH
SUNDAYS, 10:45 AM to 12:00 PM
During our main worship service, FBCKids offers two Children's Church groups: one for children ages 3 through Kindergarten and another for 1st through 2nd grade. These groups provide an engaging, age-appropriate worship experience where kids can learn about God in a meaningful way. When you send your child to Children's Church, you can trust they’ll hear the truth from God’s Word, all while being cared for in a safe, loving environment.
AWANA
WEDNESDAYS, 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM
Awana is a Bible-based, Christ-centered program designed to teach children the Gospel of Christ and equip them to serve Him. Its primary goal is to help boys and girls develop a personal relationship with Jesus through scripture memory, biblical principles, games, activities, songs, uniforms, badges, and awards.
It is a true privilege to serve God in this way and to guide children toward a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
The name Awana stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, based on the Bible verse 2 Timothy 2:15: "Be diligent to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who doesn’t need to be ashamed, correctly teaching the word of truth."
The Awana program at Rockwood First Baptist runs from August through May, meeting every Wednesday night from 6:00-7:30 pm. We create an exciting, high-energy environment where children can have fun while growing in their faith. Our meetings are split into two parts:
- Game Time: Age-appropriate games that engage kids in active learning.
- Discipleship Time: Memory verses, small group discussions, and a large group Bible lesson.
Our program includes:
Cubbies: preschoolers
Sparks: Kindergarten - 2nd grade
T&T: 3rd - 5th grade.
All kids are welcome at Awana!
