At FBR, we understand that 5th and 6th graders feel a little out of place since they aren't one of the little kids anymore and they aren't quite teenagers yet. That's why we have a specific preteen ministry just for them.

Bible Study
Your preteen isn’t quite a teenager yet, and they don’t learn the same way as a young child anymore, so we have a special schedule just for your pre-teen. We offer Bible study classes for 5th and 6th graders at both 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. That way pre-teens can attend worship with their parents during either worship hour. Click here for a complete list of Bible study classes.

Weekly Activities
WaM - Children’s Choir
WaM is Worship, Arts, Music and is proving to be a big hit with our 1st through 6th graders. Kids get to choose their small group from areas like drama, dance, media, solo coaching, art and instruments. In addition to the small group of their choice, everyone goes to choir each week. WaM runs from September through December, culminating with a concert in November and our annual Christmas program in December. In January, we begin our spring musical to be presented in May. For more information, email Lynn Lewallen at llewallen@firstbaptistraytown.com.
