At FFMC our mission is to provide a nurturing, safe and fun environment where children and families can experience God’s love, develop a solid Biblical foundation, and grow in their relationship with Christ and with others.

We look forward to the fun and growth that is ahead for your family here at FFMC. Please do no hesitate to contact the church office if there is anything we can do to help your family make connections here at First Church.

We are a ministry that is blessed by volunteers who make things happen! Please consider joining us either as a teacher, assistant, or even as an actor or puppeteer as we plan our programming for Sundays and Wednesdays. You might also enjoy organizing supplies or helping special events happen. Call Pastor Jan at the church office. She would love to meet you and help you find a place to serve!

*** Sunday Mornings ***

Nursery
9:15-12:00pm (1st floor)
We are happy to provide a clean, safe and comfortable nursery for our babies and young 2’s. Our infant nursery offers a private room for nursing mothers, a quiet sleeping room for babies, as well as a separate play area for active play. We provide a Bible story time for our oldest Toddlers as well.

You can contact our team of nursery coordinators, Alisha Bilderback and Sara Wetzel by e-mail: nursery at ffmc dot org.

Preschool Program
9:30-12:00pm (2nd floor)
“Follow the dots to our preschool rooms on the 2nd floor! Our faithful volunteers offer age-appropriate Bible learning and friendship-building play time for ages to 2 to 5 (pre-kindergarten). Different curriculum is offered each hour so children can engage in crafts, songs, snacks, games and Bible stories at either one or both hours. Promotion to the next class happens each fall. 2’s (by 9/7/08) and younger 3’s meet in Room 4. Older 3’s, 4’s and Pre-K 5’s meet in Room 6.

School-Age Program
