Special Events and Classes

Many special events throughout the year are designed just for children and their families. These events include: Vacation Bible School, Fall Festival, Preschool Family Events, Preschool Parties, etc.

Family Dedication Services/Blessing the Next Generation Classes
For many young parents, the first step on the road to raising their children in the Lord and in the church is to participate in a Family Dedication service. These special services are planned twice a year - on Mother's Day and in early December - and are devoted to the families of newborns as they dedicate themselves to bring up their children to know the Lord.

At First Baptist, we feel so strongly about the partnership between parents and the Church, that we have created a new class called Blessing the Next Generation. This class is a prerequisite to participating in a Family Dedication service at FBCG. It is offered twice a year, shortly before the Dedication services, and is led by our Senior Pastor and the entire education team.

To register for a class and dedication service, please contact the Preschool Ministry Office.

New Kid in the Pew
At the end of the summer as new kindergarteners prepare to join their parents in worship, they are invited to a New Kid in the Pew Party. The party helps to celebrate this big step in their lives. Kids make Big Church bags and parents receive invaluable tips on how to help their child learn to worship.

Their first Sunday in Big Church is special too as they are recognized and welcomed by the entire church family.
