Ministries

Serve

  • How can I serve?

    You can volunteer by contacting the church office (386) 454-1505 or by speaking with one of our pastors, deacons, or ministry leaders.

  • Where can I serve?

    The harvest is plentiful! There are many areas you can serve at First Baptist from babies to choir to serving food. Talk to a church leader to find out specifics. In order to serve in our Children's or Student ministries, you must complete a background check. 

  • Why should I serve?

    "For the love of Christ compels us, because we concluded this: that one has deid for all, therefore all have died; and He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for Him who for their sake died and was raised." 2 Corinthians 5:14-15

First Kid's Ministry

  • What is the age range?

    We offer nursery care for infants through 3s, provided their adult remains on campus, during our Sunday morning and Wednesday night activities. VPK through 5th grade make up our Children's Ministry.

  • What will my child learn?

    We use the GROW Curriculum for both our Wednesday night and Kingdom Kids ministries, ensuring a consistent, Bible-centered approach that helps kids build a strong foundation in God’s Word through engaging lessons, activities, and age-appropriate teaching.

  • What does a Wednesday night look like?

    On Wednesday nights, our ministry is intentionally structured to create a balanced rhythm of energy, engagement, and spiritual growth. We begin with game time in the gym from 5:30–6:30, giving kids a fun and welcoming space to connect with one another. From 6:30–7:00, we transition into our lesson time led by Pastor Paul, where kids are taught God’s Word in a clear, Christ-centered, and age appropriate way. We then close the evening from 7:00–7:30 with another time of games and activities, allowing for continued fellowship and connection as we wrap up the night.

  • What is Kingdom Kids?

    Kingdom Kids is our children’s church ministry offered during the main worship service each Sunday. This environment is designed to provide a safe, engaging, and Bible-centered experience for children. On the first Sunday of each month, we observe “Family Sunday,” where children in 1st-5th grade remain in the main service to worship alongside the entire church body, encouraging a shared, multigenerational worship experience.


    During Kingdom Kids, children participate in a thoughtfully planned Bible lesson led by one of our ministry leaders, followed by a hands-on craft that helps apply and deepen the day’s teaching. Each gathering concludes with a fun, structured activity or game before children are dismissed to Life Connections.

First Students

  • When does First Students meet?

    We meet 6:00 pm until 7:30 pm on Wednesday nights and 10:45 am for Life Connections on Sunday mornings. All Students Grades 6-12 are welcome. We also have various special training and fun events, camps, movie nights, and Bible studies scattered throughout the year.
