Little Saints offers a warm, secure, God centered environmentwhere your child is known, loved, and treasured. Children are assigned to rooms based on their date of birth. Each room has age appropriate toys and activities which your child will enjoy as we assist them to develop a love for God as well as others.

BIG Town guides our preschoolers and kindergarteners in a safe, creative, and fun
atmosphere that uses age-specific learning to instill Biblical principles in your child. Their Bible story is re-emphasized with crafts, hands-on activities, and songs.

Praiseland (Sunday 10:45 a.m.)

Praiseland is our worship experience for BIG Town. We believe that every child should learn how to worship and praise our Lord Jesus Christ. Praiseland is a fun, creative, and interactive location featuring songs, dramas, and puppet shows staring Kingdom the dog, all of which are re-emphasizing our daily lesson in an age-appropriate way.
You are encouraged to visit Praiseland and experience our commitment in laying a spiritual foundation that your children can build their lives on!

AWANA (Wednesday 6:30-8:15 p.m.) PLEASE VISIT OUR AWANA PAGE FOR MORE!awana

The AWANA name: AWANA stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed and comes from the Bible verse: 2 Timothy 2:15 “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” This high-energy, scripture memory program may be the most life-changing ministry of our church because of its pure focus on memorizing God's word. Every Wednesday night children ages 3 to 6th grade will gather to worship, quote scripture, compete in AWANA games, and have snacks-all of this while their parents get the ministry of music and the Word in our main Worship Auditorium only 100 feet away. This one night each week will transform your entire family's life! Children do not have to attend FFC in order to attend Awana.
