Ministries

Children

ChildrenNursery: Our nursery is always a fun and safe place for kids to play and learn. It is our goal to have the nursery be a happy place, where both parent and child have a pleasant experience. We take safety and security seriously, and do everything possible to make it a safe place for your family. And we do all we can to be sure that each little person in our care experiences the love of Jesus. Nursery is provided during all of our services and there are three main departments: Infant Nursery (0-2 years), Toddler Nursery (2-4 years), and Beginners Church (4-5 years).

Children’s Church: Children’s Church is designed for those in 1st-6th grades. They meet on Sundays at 11:00am and 6:00pm. During this time, children participate in worship by singing songs, making crafts, playing games, and are taught Bible stories, which are all intertwined with the main lesson of the day. Our vision is that every child would know God, accept His great gift of salvation, and know and apply His Word so well that their attitudes and actions would increasingly reflect God’s character.

Awana Kid’s Club: Awana is our Wednesday night program for children who are ages 3 to 6th grade. To learn more about the Awana program, visit the official Awana website.

Vacation Bible School: Each summer, we put together a one-week Bible school program for children. Vacation Bible school is a five day program that teaches children about God, Jesus and the Bible through the use of videos, object lessons and games. To get an idea of what vacation Bible school is like, here are some pictures from a recent vacation Bible school program.

Outreach

OutreachCommunity: Lincoln Park and the surrounding Downriver communities always have something fun going on, and we love being there to meet and interact with the people through our community outreaches. You may have seen us at some of them, such as our Living Nativity, the Memorial Day Parade, Crusin’ Downriver, and Lincoln Park Days.

Sports: We have a variety of Sport Outreaches throughout the year that include sports such as softball, basketball and fencing.

YMCA: Pastor Dan is on the Board of Directors and the Christian Emphasis Committee at the Downriver Family YMCA, located in Southgate. Through this unique partnership with them, we are able to promote Christian character development through evangelistic presentations that are held at six Latch-Key Kids locations, regularly scheduled teen youth rallies and family life conferences, which are both held at the YMCA.

Conferences: First Baptist Church of Lincoln Park’s counseling center sponsors several discipleship training conferences each year to provide those in the church, as well as those in the community, the opportunity to understand the deep truths of a person’s identity in Christ. Topics that are covered at this conference include such topics as exchanged life living, a believer’s flesh patterns, the abundant Christian life, understanding tribulation and brokenness, and identifying with Christ daily.

Music

MusicWe have many different music ministries you can be involved with, and are always looking for new people to join. For adults, we offer a chancel choir, as well as a handbell choir. We also have a kid’s choir.

Music in our worship services is composed of not only of the different choirs, but also special music performances from individuals that are part of our congregation. We also worship through music through our blended congregational singing with contemporary choruses and traditional hymns.

And if you like concerts, you’ll love it at our church. On a regular basis, you’re likely to see performances from our own singing group, Radiance, as well as groups outside the church such as Christian college singers, Gospel quartets, soloists, and regular concerts from our handbell choir.
