Preschool Ministry
At Pickens First Baptist Church, our Preschool Ministry is dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and Christ-centered environment for our youngest attendees. We provide ministry opportunities on Sunday mornings, Sunday nights during Awana, and Wednesday nights—giving children multiple chances to experience the love of Jesus through engaging, age-appropriate activities.
Safety & Security
The security of every child is our top priority. Parents check their children in at our secure check-in station, where they receive a unique badge that must be presented at pickup. This ensures that each child is only released to the appropriate guardian. Additionally, all volunteers undergo a thorough background check and vetting process before serving in our ministry.
Age-Appropriate Learning & Care
We place children in small groups based on age and ability level, allowing them to engage in Bible-based lessons, interactive play, and worship in a way that is meaningful to them. Our dedicated volunteers are members of our church who are passionate about sharing the love of Jesus with young children.
Our Preschool Ministry makes the following our top priorities:
✔️ Teach young hearts about the love of Jesus in a way they can understand.
✔️ Ensure the safety and well-being of every child.
✔️ Meet each child's basic needs while in our care, ensuring they feel loved and valued.
We consider it a privilege to partner with families in helping their little ones begin a lifelong journey of faith!
