Preschool

Welcome to the W.O.R.L.D. of preschool here at the First Baptist Church in Midland, Texas. Our ministry to preschoolers begins laying the foundation for understanding of the purposes of the church: Worship, Ministry, Evangelism, Fellowship and Discipleship. We want to take advantage of the optimal learning time in each child's life. This goal is accomplished through all areas of our preschool ministry.

First Baptist's Preschool Ministry wants to Worship God, tell Others of God's Love, Relate Bible stories about Jesus to our daily lives, Love everyone as Jesus loves us, and help Develop trust and love with each child and his family.

Below you will catch a glimpse of all the different ministry opportunities that we offer for preschoolers & their families...

Sunday Morning Activities in the W.O.R.L.D. of Preschool

This is the Sunday morning Bible learning time provided for children birth through Kindergarten. Each preschool class is either developmentally or age-graded.

The Spiritual development of the child rests primarily on the parents, but we at First Baptist want to do all we can to equip you to be the best "teacher" you can be and to help your child develop a love for learning about Jesus.
