Bible Study
Your preschooler will have a blast with other kids his or her age every Sunday morning. We have fun teachers in every classroom leading the preschoolers in games and stories about God’s love, all on a level the little ones can understand. Classes for your kiddos are available from 8:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m. Click here for a complete list of Bible study classes.

Weekly Activities
Preschool Praise'ntations Choir
Preschool Praise'ntations is for children age 3 (by July 31) through kindergarten. The children present three mini-musicals each year, each revolving around a different theme. Preschoolers sing at our annual church-wide Christmas program, in our end-of the year program in May, and at various other times throughout the year. For more information, email Lynn Lewallen at llewallen@firstbaptistraytown.com.
