Preschool and Children's Ministries

Children are an integral and joyful part of FBC Paris.  It is our desire that children have a clear understanding of God’s love for them and the spiritual truth’s found in God’s Word. Through gospel-centered programs such as Nursery, Sunday School, Upwards, Children’s Choirs, Vacation Bible School, Children on Mission and Camp we have the opportunity to teach children what it means to be a true follower of Jesus.


We also strive to equip parents with tools to help guide in the child’s spiritual growth and development.  Through Christian parenting classes and resources, we commit to join families in teaching children about Jesus.


Finally, spiritual milestones help children realize and celebrate how important their relationship with Jesus really is. God loves it when we remember His faithfulness and goodness in our lives. It is no different with children.  At FBC Paris, we believe there are special milestones in the life of a child that are worthy of celebration… these faith steps will become a vital part of the beautiful journey of becoming all that God has created them to be.
