First Steps, the ministry to families of babies- 4 year-olds, partners with families to develop kids who: know who God is and have a relationship with Him, love God and love other people, and tell others about Jesus. We provide Christ-centered biblical teaching to equip kids and their families.
First Steps is committed to equipping families through activities including: Sunday School, Nursery, Music, and Missions. We provide a safe environment where all volunteers go through a background check and kids are released only to adults with the matching security sticker.
