Ministry Team Leader: Carol Pepin
 
"Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6
 
Here at First Baptist Church of Painesville we believe children and youth are our future. Exposure to Christian morals in tandem with teaching how God moves with us and in us throughout our daily lives along with a love and concern for others is present in all our children and youth programs.
 
Sunday School - No Summer Sessions Normal classes will resume from September 5th. There are classes for toddlers, kindergarten, primary, upper elementary and teens (7th-12th grade).
 
Wednesday Night Kid's Club meets at the church on Wednesday nights at 6:30 to 7:30pm September thru May. There are two groups. Three to five year olds and six to twelve year olds. They enjoy a lesson, craft and occasionally special projects.

Faith Flyers is our youth group for 7th-12th grade and meets Sunday evenings at 6pm at the church. In addition to lessons other opportunities for spiritual growth occurs. For example: attendance at ministry-based youth conferences, weekends at Camp Koinonia, church overnights and attending Christian concerts just to name a few.

Junior Church occurs every Sunday. Kindergarten thru fifth grade are dismissed after the Childrens Story in the worship service. One Sunday is Library Sunday, another is Children's Choir practice and the other Sundays are used for a short lesson, craft and snack.
