"All scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness that the people of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." - II Timothy 3:16 (RSV)

First Baptist Church takes seriously its commitment to quality Christian
Education. The Christian Education Ministry provides comprehensive biblical instruction for all ages and all levels of spiritual maturity. Our goal is to heighten spiritual formation and make disciples.

God's Word is presented in a practical manner enabling members to fully grasp its life application. Additionally, various classes and workshops are sponsored to address contemporary issues, and provide training opportunities for instructors, church leaders and members. Instructors, church leaders, and members also have the opportunity to attend conferences and seminars sponsored by other denominations, organizations and noted church leaders. We seek to remain current regarding recent trends in Christian educational curriculum, materials and teaching techniques.

We believe every member should have the opportunity to develop and sustain an intimate relationship with God. Our primary means for Christian Education is through:

• Sunday School
• Vacation Bible School
• Institute for Christian Discipleship

Throughout the year, members have access to Christian Education via Sunday School, the Institute for Christian Discipleship and Vacation Bible School. Special classes, designed to meet the needs of specific groups, e.g. couples, singles, women, men, seniors, youth, teens, and young adults, etc., are offered periodically through any one or all of these components.
