Children at First Baptist Henderson are considered fully a part of our church family.
From responsibilities in worship leadership to retreat opportunities to engaging faith formation, our youngest members contribute fully to the life of our faith community.

For more information about how your child can grow in faith at First Baptist, contact Tammy Hight, Minister of Childhood Discipleship

In addition to our weekly Sunday School, after-school programs offer growth opportunities for our children as part of our Christian Life I & II offerings.

In the spring of each year, we hold a retreat for children in 3rd-5th grades at Camp Willow Run.

Godly Play

In recent years, a new method of religious education was introduced in our Christian Life I & II programs called Godly Play. Godly Play offers a creative, child-honoring way of entering into and experiencing the biblical story. In Godly Play, we play with the language of God and God’s People: our sacred stories, parables, liturgical actions and silence. Through this powerful language, through our wondering, through the community of players gathered together, we hear the deepest invitation of all: an invitation to come play with God.
