Children's Ministry

Kindergarten–5th Grade

At First Southern, our goal is to provide a safe and welcoming environment in which any and every child can connect with other children, discover faith in Jesus, and grow that faith in a healthy church environment.  Scroll down to see what we offer in the children's ministry!

Sunday Mornings

Kids Church

9:30am-10:30am

Children from 4yo-5th grade are encouraged to attend kids church during the main worship time.  They may be dropped off before the service begins and will transition to LIFE groups at the end of the service time.
**NOTE: The last Sunday of each month is family Sunday and there will be no kids church.  Children will sit with their parents in the service.

LIFE Groups

4yo–Kindergarten: Dawn Hutchins & Donna Smith
1st-2nd Grade: Candice Long & Kasey Ellis
3rd-5th Grade Boys: Tim McCorkle

Annual Events

Vacation Bible School

One of the most anticipated children's events of the year, VBS is a wonderful time for kids from 4yo–5th grade to hear the gospel message and have fun in the process.

The majority of people accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior before 12yo, so VBS is a prime opportunity for the gospel message to take room in their young hearts!

Middle School Retreat

For our upper elementary, we have a special time for them to grow in age specific ways through a retreat style getaway.  This takes place in the summer each year over a one or two night period.
