Sunday School
With a heritage of more than 185 years, First Baptist's Sunday School classes and departments continue to involve more people than any other church ministry. Sunday School is the foundational strategy in First Baptist Church for leading people to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and for building Great Commission Christians through Bible study groups that engage people in evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, ministry and worship.
Sunday School is a time to study God's Word in a small group setting in order to encourage discussion and facilitate personal prayer time. There is a place for everyone to learn and discuss the Word of God. We invite you to join us in any of our classes. Below is a list of the classes.
