At FBC Kids, we want kids to know and love Jesus! Our goal is for kids to connect with God by studying the Bible and praying, to grow in their walk with Christ and others by spending time with God and fellow believers, to serve in ministry by using their talents to support our church and God’s kingdom, and to go to the lost by telling people about the Gospel!
Motto: “Listen to Jesus, Worship Jesus, Talk to Jesus, Go for Jesus!”
Vision: To come alongside parents in discipling their children to know Jesus. To be a safe and loving environment for children who may need refuge from the world. To know God’s Word! To learn how to follow Jesus! And HAVE FUN!
Our preschool area is for kids birth-kindergarten.
Our elementary area is for kids 1st-5th grade.

Frequently Asked Questions
We use Grow curriculum for preschool-kindergarten classes. This curriculum is Biblically based and uses age appropriate activities and a video to engage in learning. The 1st-5th grades use Lifeway’s Bible Studies for Life. They study a lesson each week and play games or do activities based around the lesson.
Every lesson the kids learn is based on the Bible and geared toward your kid’s specific age group.
Your child’s safety is a priority for us at FBC Oak Grove! All of our adult leaders are background checked and have training in dealing with emergency situations. We have protocols in place to protect your kids in all situations.
All children that are 5 years old or under will be checked into our system. This is an extra safety measure so that teachers know who is picking up a child and how to contact you in case of emergency. This should only take an extra minute before you drop your kid(s) off. They can then be escorted down to their classroom by their parent in our secured Preschool Hall. If you’re a first-time guest, don’t worry, a children’s volunteer will be there to help you through the process!
It is a priority to us to accommodate any allergies that your child may have. Please be sure to notify your child’s leader at drop-off.
