Welcome to GFBC Kids Preschool Ministry

At GFBC, our Preschool Ministry is more than childcare — it’s a foundation for faith. From babies through K4, we create a loving, joyful environment where little ones can begin to discover what it means to follow Jesus. Through Bible stories, worship, and hands-on fun, we help children take their very first steps in faith.

Our prayer is that every child will come to know the Lord early in life and grow in a personal relationship with Him — and we’re honored to partner with families in that journey.

Nursery Staff Needed!

Kids Praise is a fun, faith-filled program for preschoolers that runs September through May. Each week, children enjoy singing, playing, making crafts, and building friendships — all while learning to praise Jesus with joyful hearts!

Our preschoolers also get the exciting opportunity to sing in our Wednesday night service twice a year — once in December and again in May.

CHOIR SUITE

Kids Praise meets September - May and is not just about singing - it's a time children learn what it means to praise the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind and strength.

Children, 1st - 5th grade, will sing with the Adult Choir during our Christmas Program and will perform a musical in the Spring.

Education Programs

GFBC Education Programs is an outreach ministry of Gardendale First Baptist Church and we are committed to instructing and guiding each child spiritually, cognitively, socially and emotionally in a safe, nurturing environment. We provide the spiritual and academic foundation on which each child can become a life-long learner.

We are so excited that you are going to visit us! If this is your child's first time with us, you can visit one of our Information Desks to fill out a guest or new member form. Once you complete the form, we will assign your child to a class and walk them to their new room!

Checking in is so easy! Visit one of our kiosks, type in your 10-digit number and receive a printed name tag for your child and a security label for you. If you have any issues, visit our information desk and one of our serve team members will assist you.
