The Children's Ministry at First Baptist Tuscaloosa serves children ages 1st grade through 5th grade. We are here to partner with parents to help each child build a strong spiritual foundation while ministering to his or her individual needs. Because we are well aware of the formative years of young children, we endeavor to provide a healthy, happy, safe and loving Christian environment each time children are at church.
