We are glad you are interested in childhood ministries at First Baptist O’Fallon. KidsLife leaders have made a commitment to invest in children in ways that encourage children to develop a growing relationship with Christ which will be reflected in their daily choices. By providing positive spiritual models, leaders will encourage children to develop strong relationships with friends. These goals will be met in a safe, secure, fun environment using active and creative teaching methods. We do realize that parents are the primary teachers for children, and we hope to assist you in becoming the most effective parent/teacher possible. KidsLife leaders would love to hear from you and provide any support needed.
Children are remarkable in their ability to accept and understand spiritual truths by faith. They are able to make application of spiritual truths in everyday experiences. KidsLife ministries will utilize every gathering as a teaching opportunity designed to facilitate spiritual growth and change. The website will highlight the different ministry opportunities for preschoolers and children, so take a few minutes to check out all the opportunities for babies through sixth graders. We hope you and your children will choose to make First Baptist Church your church home and KidsLife a part of your child’s experience. If you have any questions or concerns about your child, please feel free to contact me directly at 618-632-6223 or e-mail me at Darlene.leatherwood@fbcofallon.org.
Serving Him with you,
Dr. Darlene E. Leatherwood Director, KidsLife Ministries
