Sunday School
Sunday School occurs each Sunday at 9:45am for Infants - 6th Grade while their parents attend an adult class. Infants are welcome as early as twelve weeks, yet most are 4 to 6 months before they attend. All classes are staffed with loving FBC Farmersville volunteers that have completed a Ministry Safe background check and training video. Classes are age appropriate in nature, interactive, and designed to allow kids to build friendships while learning how to know and follow Jesus! Please come to the children’s welcome desk; someone would love to show you how to check your children in and get involved.
Classes are also available for birth - 4yr—olds during the 8:30am and 11am worship service.
Kids In The Pew
Educational We believe in family worship on Sunday mornings. Your child will begin attending worship with you when they turn 5 years old/enter Kindergarten. As you enter the sanctuary, Kindergarten - 2nd graders may pick up a clipboard with age-appropriate activities for the sermon time, and 3rd - 6th graders may pick up a sermon journal to take notes during the sermon. Children are encouraged to participate in singing, praying, and giving an offering, and then use these additional activities during sermon time.
Route 456
Route 456 Ministry, designed just for 4th/5th, and 6th graders, meets on Sunday mornings at 9:45am and Wednesday nights at 5:55-7:30pm (during AWANA). Kids use an older kids format and curriculum and have a variety of activities to assist them in developing their relationship with Jesus, enhancing their ability to make Christian friends, and preparing them as they begin to transition to the student ministry (7th - 12th grade).
Awana
AWANA meets each Wednesday night from 5:55 to 7:30 pm. Join us for Family Dinner at 5pm in the gym, and then kids 2yr (by September 1) - 3rd Grade enjoy games, Bible memory, teaching, and friends!
Meeting at the same time is our Route 456 Ministry, whose goal is for kids to transition from Kids Ministry into their preteen/teenage years. These kids enjoy snacks, a game room, a large group format, games, monthly outings, mission trips, and more.
Weekday Preschool
First Baptist Church Farmersville Weekday Preschool program offers an outstanding educational program for children ages 2 yrs - PreK. We have been committed to providing excellent childhood services for over 50 years. We offer a nurturing and educational environment where children grow and learn about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. FBC Weekday Preschool is a ministry of First Baptist Farmersville that seeks to provide a nurturing Christian environment in which every child can grow and develop spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically.
Our weekday preschool program believes in fostering a strong foundation of Christian values from an early age. Our age-appropriate curriculum integrates biblical principles into daily developmental activities, allowing children to develop a deeper understanding of our Christian faith. Through stories, songs, and interactive lessons, the FBC Weekday Preschool program instills values such as love, kindness, forgiveness, and gratitude in the hearts of our children.
Our program is proud to offer play-based learning. Play is the primary way that children learn and develop ideas about the world. Play helps with the development of skills needed for critical thinking and leadership. Play also helps children become problem solvers and gain confidence in learning. Play is not a break from learning-it’s the way young children learn.

To serve homeschooling families in the area, FBC Farmersville offers once a month “Homeschool Hangouts.” These hangouts include board games, chess, gaga ball and other activities that appeal to a wide range of ages (tag-along toddlers to teens). FBCF is home to a large number of homeschooling families and therefore strives to serve the community with social events that allow integration of multiple ages coming together to play. These hangouts are open to local families with a designated parent present.
In addition to our homeschool hangouts, we meet once or twice a month for various field trips. We have toured local businesses, airports, factories and farms. We love to learn about and support our community through group service projects.
