Nursery
Our Nursery is a safe and loving place for your little ones to experience God’s love while you worship. Caring volunteers provide gentle care, playtime, and simple Bible truths to help each child know they are loved and valued. We’re honored to partner with your family in these first steps of faith! Nursery is available during the 8:30 am service, 9:45 am Life Groups, and the 11 am service.
Call (352) 394-4221 if you have questions.
Family Milestone Moments
At FBC we love walking alongside families as kids grow and reach important milestones in their lives. From child dedication and starting preschool to learning to read, taking baptism classes, navigating important conversations in middle school, and celebrating high school graduation, we’re here to support both parents and kids every step of the way. These moments are more than just events—they’re opportunities to celebrate growth, faith, and the journey of life together as a church family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I go?
Unless otherwise noted, Kids ministry activities take place in the Kids Club Area. Entrance to Kids Club is located next to the Cafe. Look for the "New Here" Banner and a friendly face will greet you!
What can I expect when I get there?
As a first time guest, you can expect to be greeted by a member of our team and guided through our welcome/check in process. We will gather a little bit of information about your family and walk you and your kids to their groups. We employ a security system check in and out with name tags and claim numbers for each child of your family.
If you are a regular attender, you can expect the same warm welcome and the chance to ask any questions you may have regarding your attendance that day, and check in your child for their groups at the check-in desk.

Do I need to provide anything for my PreK child?
Please supply any special instruction (feeding, allergy, etc) to the volunteer in the room when you drop your kid off. Also, please be sure to pack any supplies that will be needed (diaper, pacifier, bottle with water, juice, or formula, etc) to care for your child. We do offer simple snacks and water from time to time. If you provide a snack for your child, we ask that it be free of peanuts.
What will my Elementary aged child be doing?
It’s our heart for elementary kids to experience God’s love, hear engaging, Christ-centered, life-changing messages, and build a connection with caring, Jesus-loving leaders who are excited to spend time with them.
We make this happen through joyful worship, fun games, meaningful Bible reading, and small groups where kids can grow in faith!
