“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” – 1 Timothy 4:12
First Baptist Preteen Ministry exists to bridge the gap in these transitional years between childhood and adolescence. Our goal is to help fourth and fifth graders navigate their faith as they grow in physical and spiritual maturity.
