In our society, age groups are separated until adulthood. Children with children, high school students with high school students, college students with college students. This segregation strips us of the opportunity to learn from those both older and younger than us. At First Baptist, we seek to invite children from their dutiful place at their parents’ sides to a place of leadership in worship, engaging them in the broader church body.
Our children’s choir directors, Karisa Engle, Elizabeth Pemberton, and Melanie Simpson, are adults dedicated to raising up a generation of worshippers. All three women were in children’s choirs when they were young and had adults teach them what it means to worship. All three understand that including children in worship has an intangible effect on the entire congregation.
The First Baptist family continues to grow and invest in our children, find out how through the link.
