We believe that even the youngest children can begin to understand the Truth of God's Word through loving care and teaching. To that end, we provide Bible teaching and application time for our youngest attenders and a variety of activities during the school year on Sunday evenings. Our energetic and loving volunteers present the Truth of God's Word in practical and fresh ways each week. Children in these classes are promoted based on their grade in school at the beginning of each new school year. The FBC Children’s Ministry is making every effort to provide a safe environment as we move to our next step of opening on Sunday mornings. The FBC Childcare Team, Building Services Team, Ministers and Staff are taking all precautions to maintain a safe environment for families and our teachers.
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Mother's Day Out
Mother’s Day Out is a special ministry of First Baptist Church of El Paso designed to give both you and your child a refreshing break! We understand that parenting little ones is a beautiful (and sometimes exhausting) journey. That’s why we’re here — to offer you a well-deserved day to run errands, attend appointments, recharge, or simply catch your breath.
Our program lovingly cares for babies as young as 6 months old through preschoolers (age 5 and under), providing a safe and joyful environment while you take time for yourself.
