Children
Children are a gift of the Lord! Jesus himself cherished children and blessed them, saying in Matthew 19:14, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” We believe that God has given parents the primary responsibility and privilege of bringing up children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Eph. 6:4; Deut. 6:4-9). It is the desire of our Children’s Ministry to partner with each parent to effectively teach children about Christ’s love and move them toward a personal relationship with Jesus.

Security & Check-In
At First Baptist Church Newnan, nothing is more important to us than the safety and security of your children. That’s why we’ve chosen Checkpoint as our children’s check-in solution to bring you the best check-in experience and to allow us to partner with you to keep your children safe. We also want our visitors to feel welcome and that their children are safe with across-the-board security measures.
First Baptist Church’s full-time ministry staff and all volunteers who work with our children have been trained through the “Ministry Safe (c)” program. This badge indicates that FBCN has taken proactive steps to train staff members and volunteers to address the risk of child sexual abuse in ministry programming. In any child-serving context, training is the first step in any effort to protect children from sexual abuse.

Building Foundations for Long-Lasting Faith in the Next Generation
Foundation 1: Praise God through Joyful Noise
Psalm 95:1 – “Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!”
Age-graded choirs focus on teaching children the importance of worship through singing, musical instruments, and developing the voice God has given each child to praise Him.
Foundation 2: Love the Word of God
2 Timothy 3:15–16 – “and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
Children with a high view of Scripture tend to develop a lasting faith. We seek to cultivate a love for God’s Word through Scripture memory, Bible drills, and activities that help children grow confident in using the Bible on their own.
Foundation 3: Share the Good News
1 Corinthians 15:1–2 – “Now I make known to you, brothers and sisters, the Gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, in which you also stand, by which you also are saved…”
The Gospel is woven into every week’s lesson, connecting each Bible story to the saving work of Christ or through a clear Gospel presentation. Our goal is for every child to understand the Gospel while providing biblical guidance to children and families as they consider a lifelong faith in Jesus Christ.
Foundation 4: Engage and Support Missions
Matthew 28:19 – “Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations…”
Children learn that they can live on mission for Christ today. Through evangelism training and learning about missions around the world, they are encouraged and equipped to share the love of Jesus wherever God has placed them.
Join us as we build a strong foundation of faith in the next generation! We invite your family to register today and be part of what God is doing through Foundations.
