First Kids

Growing Up in God’s Word — Together

Big hearts. Big questions. Big God.

Childhood is a big adventure. Every week brings new discoveries, deeper friendships, and bigger questions about life and faith. At First Baptist Lee’s Summit, we help kids know they are loved by God, belong in His family, and can live out their faith every day.

First Kids welcomes kids from Kindergarten through 5th grade. We focus on:

Life-changing connection with Jesus through age-appropriate Bible teaching
Hands-on learning that sparks curiosity and wonder
Friendships that last — because faith grows best in community
Memorable experiences that help kids see God’s truth in everyday life

When your kid is with us, they’ll feel seen, safe, and excited to grow.

Sunday Mornings —
Worship + Small Groups

Belonging • Reverence • Joy
We begin together in intergenerational family worship — all ages and stages singing, praying, and hearing God’s Word as one church family. Then kids head to age-appropriate small groups where caring leaders help them explore the Bible in fun, meaningful ways.

Worship Lab

Growing Worshipers of All Ages

Ages 3 – Pre-K

Our youngest worshipers sing, move, and play their way into the songs our church family sings, learning early that worship is something they join, not something they watch.
K – 4th Grade

Kids learn the songs our church family actually sings, with motions and meaning, and get the chance to lead them in worship alongside the whole church.
5th – 12th Grade

Students learn to understand and lead worship, with deep dives into tech, music, drama, leadership, hospitality, and more — often in partnership with adults who share their gifts and experience.

Bible Drill — God’s Word in Their Hearts

Confidence • Focus • Courage
Kids learn Scripture by heart, build Bible skills, and gain the courage to use God’s Word in real life — at home, at school, and with friends.

CentriKid — Summer Camp for Kids

Adventure • Friendship • Awe
A high-energy, faith-filled camp where kids experience worship, recreation, and Bible study designed just for them. It’s the kind of week they’ll talk about all year.

Special Events

Anticipation • Connection • Joy
From VBS at Night! to family moments throughout the year, there’s always a next step to help kids grow and families connect.
