Children’s Sunday School

Children’s Sunday School meets at 9:30am. Each Sunday, children ages 3 through 6th grade are invited to attend our age graded Sunday school classes. When you arrive, visit our children’s welcome area to securely check in your child with our electronic system. All children through 6th grade must be checked out by an adult that has the coded check-out ticket.

Camp Wednesdays

During the school year (September-May), we have Camp Wednesdays, 6:00-7:00pm for kids. Children in age 3 through 6th grade participate in a Camp PhisherKidz style rotation that features Music, Bible Study, Mission activities, Crafts and Recreation. Childcare is provided for children under 3 for adults who are participating in classes or choir.

Baptisms

We believe that salvation is by grace through faith and that it is a free gift of God. Baptism is a way for a person to confess before the church family that they have invited Jesus to be the Lord of their life. If you believe your child is ready to make a profession of faith through baptism, contact our Children’s Minister, Melinda Hall, to make those arrangements. A Minister will speak with your child about the nature and purpose of baptism to be sure they are confidently ready to make this step.

Get Connected

Get Connected helps kids build meaningful friendships, grow in their faith, and discover where they belong through fun, safe, and age-appropriate experiences.

Throughout the year, our 5th and 6th grade students (Club56) get together for various fun activities or service projects. These fun and meaningful activities give the children an idea of what to expect as they prepare to enter our youth fellowship.

Parent’s Night Out (PNO) is an evening of low-cost childcare offered to FBC members. PNO is the second Friday of each month, September through May and is hosted at First Baptist Church for children ages birth through 6th grade from 6:30pm-10:00pm. During Parent’s Night Out, your child will have dinner, be entertained and cared for while you enjoy an evening on your own. The reservation deadline is the Wednesday before the event at 5:00pm. To ensure adequate adult/child ratio the deadlines are strictly enforced. PNO is open to FBC members only. PNO is not a public event. For more information contact Meredith Hall, PNO Director at 512-757-7652 or E-mail

Many churches have a Vacation Bible School (VBS) program. We have Camp PhisherKidz! Phishing is a way of finding information about people. In Matthew 4:19, Jesus tells us that we are to be fishers of people; to tell others about Him. A PhisherKid is someone who is looking for other people to tell about Jesus. The Children’s Ministry of First Baptist Church is phishing for children so they will come to know Jesus and grow in a relationship with Him. 

Camp PhisherKidz is a 4-day, full-day camp that features a VBS rotation and daily field trips. Each year we host 200+ children and have over 150 volunteers! Come check out why Camp PhisherKidz is so loved! 

Save the Date! July 6-9, 2026!

Every summer, we take 3rd through 6th graders to Preteen Camp! Our current location is Camp Tejas in Giddings, TX. We partner with 9 other like-minded churches to provide a fun 3-night camp experience for about 500 campers! Preteen camp includes worship and Bible study as well as exciting camp activities like ziplining, lake recreation and organized mass chaos! 

Preteen camp is not complete without a pool party, mud games and dance party, but it is also a camp where kids can begin or develop a Christ-centered life. 

Save the date, Preteen Camp is July 17-20 2026!
