Ever wonder what this is all about? – Life…I mean, why are we all here?

Is it all about Sports? Is it all about popularity or fame?  Is it all about how I feel? Is it all about money and power?  Is it all about me; or is it all about you; or is it all about them?  Is it about RULES?   Is it about what facts you know or what you “believe”?  Is it about how I spend my time or how I talk? Is it about how others see me, how I see myself or something else altogether? Hmmm…We believe it’s important to ask these questions and find the answers to them.
So, you wanna know about The Point…that’s why you’re here right? The Point Student Ministries  is a fun place.  It’s a safe place. It’s a place to find answers to all kinds of life questions. It’s a place where a teen can have opportunities… To make new friends. To have an eXtreme challenge. To worship with a live band. To have a snack and... To Live EXTREME!!

Kingdom Bound 
Children Ministries


Kingdom Bound Ministries focuses on children 5-years old through the 5th grade in a number of different capacities.  

On Wednesday evenings (6:30-7:30 p.m.), our King’s friends meet for QUEST, a time of interactive faith, fellowship and fun.  Participants are led in praise and worship by our "Sing Sign Step Team" comprised of 4th-9th graders. 

Our Children’s Worship currently takes place during our second adult   service, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m Our focus is on worshipping Jesus in a relevant, kid-friendly way.  Our purpose is "1-1-1," to do "Whatever it takes to move ONE kid, ONE step closer to the ONE true God.   To do so, we use our "3-D Method," Discover—Develop—and Do.  We help our children discover their gifts and talents, develop them through opportunities, and then have them do ministry by serving God and others.

"Sing Sign Step Team" also uses interpretive dance to worship and lead others in worship outside of FBC.  The SSS Team meets for the coming season are yet to be determined.  Watch the bulletin for starting date.

"Kingdom Bound Ministries" reaches out into the community through events during the 4th of July Celebrations and at the Harborfest Celebration in June.

Our Leader: K.B.M. is led by our Director of Children's Ministries, Mrs. Andrea Tait.  Andrea has been a member of First Baptist since 1990.  She has the privilege to work with many adult and kid leaders who are devoted to leading kids to a strong, true relationship with their Savior Jesus Christ.
