The Children’s Ministry strives to teach children the basics of the Christian faith and ultimately lead them to the point that they can answer God’s call to follow Him to accept His free gift of salvation. We teach children that God loves them; how they should love and serve God; and how they should love others.
FIRST TIME VISITORS
We want you to know that your child will be kept safe while at FBCO. When you check in your child on a Sunday morning, both the parent and the child receive a sticker with a security number. Parents should hand their child's sticker over at pickup and we match security numbers with their kids.
