Preschool Department
The preschool department consists of classes for: Nursery - Birth to 2 years;
Preschool A - Ages 2 - 3; Preschool B - Ages 4 - Pre-kindergarten.
Great care will be taken in providing the best care possible for the
children. They are very important to us since they are the future
church. We want them to be in a loved and secure atmosphere where they
can learn about Jesus from an early age.
Children's Department and Ministries
The Children's Department is divided into the following classes for Sunday School
and Discipleship Training: Kindergarten, Grades 1-2, Grades 3-4, Grades 5-6.
Our student minister is responsible for leading activities and implementing
programs which will provide Christian growth and a more personal knowledge
of Jesus Christ.
Youth Department and Ministries
The Youth Department is divided into the following
classes for Sunday School and Discipleship Training: Grades 7 - 8,
Grades 9 - 10, and Grades 11 - 12. The Youth also meet at their own
special time and place on Wednesday night and have their own services.
Our goal as a church is to implement programs for their Christian growth and
lead them into the knowledge of a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
College and Career Department
We have a class that is especially for young people
after they have graduated from high school and are no longer considered to
be in the youth class. The leaders are dedicated, plan activities, and
give solid leadership, as well as leading them to have a better relationship
with God.
Adult Department
Our Adult Department ranges all the way from the Young Married Class
to the Senior Adult Class. There are a variety of different classes
that a person could choose to attend. You are not necessarily limited
by age, but can choose a class in which you feel comfortable attending.
Opportunities for Ministry
Baptist's Men's Fellowship
We have a Baptist's Men's Fellowship that teaches and encourages men
and boys to be involved in personal missions and church ministry. Its
goal is to promote relationships between all the men of the church of every
age group.
Music Ministry
The Director of our Music Ministry is Ricky Bruner.
He oversees a diverse range of choirs on every different level. The
following choirs practice each week: Cherub (4-5 yrs), Children (1 -
6 Grades), Youth (7 - 12 Grades), Adult. He would love to have new
members for each choir.
Senior Adult
Ministry
The Directors of this ministry are
Shirley Carter and Susie Tuck. They provide leadership and ministry
opportunities, as well as minister to the homebound members of the church
who are no longer able to come and be a part of the fellowship. They
also provide opportunities for taking trips and doing many different kinds
of fellowship activities. This is a very vibrant ministry at our
church and the senior adults are a close-knit group.

Men's Group. The object is to teach missions to women, girls, and
