Children's
Ministry Purpose Statement
The mission of the Children's Ministry at First Baptist Dover is to lay a foundation and provide an atmosphere
in which a child can make a responsible decision for Christ and grow in knowledge and understanding of the responsibility
of that decision through Bible training activities and application to their lives.
Vacation
Bible School
During the summer, kids can be a part of a wonderful weeklong celebration at our downtown campus. Join in Bible
study, games, crafts, prizes, and hear exciting stories from missionaries.
Children will discover not only the principles by which God wants us to live, but also that Jesus is the power
by which we live.
Sunday
School
Warm and dedicated teachers will greet your children every Sunday. Our leaders bring out the best in children as
they guide and encourage. Their priority is to build up your kids with the love of God and lead them to a deeper
knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Don't be surprised to get a phone call from a teacher who's just calling to let your child know they're praying
for them!
Bring your friends and be a part of our exciting Bible study, worship, games, and learning activities.
