Preschool

The Preschool Ministry at Central Baptist Church helps infants, toddlers, and preschoolers DISCOVER and establish a foundation of faith. Preschoolers learn the basic truths found in the Bible about the world that God created, how He loves us and He wants to be our friend.

Safety
We take the safety of our children very seriously at Central Baptist Church. We have a secure entrance for our Preschool Wing. For all of our Children’s programs and activities, parents are expected to check children in, provide contact information should any issues arise, and check children out from the Children’s ministry activities. All of our staff and volunteers have had a background check and have been Ministry Safe trained. We also have a security team on patrol during programs and events.
