Greetings, parents of our fantastic youth! There is something to be said about the transformation of the parent heart. If you're like us, you want to have the best for your child - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Our student ministry desires to help you to feed these teenagers spiritually. We realize that many parents want to be involved in small and big ways. We welcome you! Please take some time to surf this site so that you may better know your options of service. We as a church family would love for you to be able to use whatever gifts you offer to strengthen the student ministry here at FBC Nashville. If you have a desire to get involved please email the student office.
At First Baptist Nashville, our student ministry has adopted the LifeWay Know-Own-Known curriculum to help our students mature in their spiritual development. The LifeWay Know-Own-Known (KNOWN) student strategy is to equip churches and parents to help students know God, own their faith, and make their faith known.
Our mission, as the First Baptist Nashville Student Ministry, is to assist parents in their role of primary spiritual developer in their students’ lives (Deut 6:1-9) and to provide opportunities and resources for students’ to grow in their faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ (Eph 4:7-13).
