Learn About Us
Kids
At Farmington First, our Ministry to Kids is primarily a partnership with parents, grandparents, and other guardians who are raising and discipling their children to become followers of Jesus. You are the primary disciplers and we want to serve, train and resource you for the journey. We do this through on-site ministries, training, and resources for at-home discipleship.

Sundays at 10:00 am (Birth-6th grade) First, find the check-in area in the KidZone just off the South parking lot at the rear of the main building. There we will meet your family, check your child into our system, and then one of our volunteers will lead your child to their age-appropriate room.
-
Before Service:
You can check in your child at the check-in stations in the pre-school wing or in the KidZone. After finding your child’s name in the database, you and your child will be given matching name tags that are exclusive to your family and your visit. Your child will need to wear the name tag portion while you hold on to the matching tag.
After Service:
After the service is complete, you will return to your child’s room and show your tag in order for your child to be released back to you.
During Service:
In the event that we need to contact you during the service, we send a discrete text message to your mobile phone number in the database. We ask that you exit the auditorium immediately and look for a staff member or volunteer who will direct you to your child’s room.

Farmington First offers childcare during the service for infants. We also have a Parent’s Viewing Room that is available in the preschool wing for mothers and fathers with infants. This room has a live video feed of the service, rocking chairs, and changing tables, and is reserved exclusively for parents with infants to enjoy the service in a more private and quiet environment.

Students
Farmington First Students (grades 7-12) exists to partner with students and their families in sharing the life-giving message of Jesus that, through discipleship, prayer, worship, and Bible study, they may know God, find freedom, discover purpose, and make a difference.

Farmington First Students (FFS) meets on Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:45 p.m. While student ministry often switches up how the service looks, you can usually expect a time of fun and games, a time of worship through song with our student-led band, a sermon, and a time of small-group discussion.
Attending our Wednesday night service is a great way to check out FFS, see who we are, what we do, and hear about why we do it. Of course, you’ll also have some fun along the way.

Midweek Ministry
The mission of Farmington First is to Make, Mobilize, and Multiply Disciples of Jesus. Along with Sunday school, Wednesday nights at Farmington First will more intentionally make disciples of Jesus. We will do this via five sessions of six-week-long classes that meet biblical, theological, and felt needs of twenty-first century Christians. Learn more about our current session’s classes below.

Lamentations: From Ruins to Restoration, taught by Brian Center, 6:30 – 7:45pm, room 103
We are continuing our 12-week journey through the book of Lamentations. The book of Lamentations is far more than a record of Jerusalem’s destruction. It is a powerful testimony to God’s holiness, justice, mercy, and faithfulness in the darkest moments of life. In this 12-week study, we will walk verse-by-verse through the book, examine key Hebrew words, explore New Testament connections, and discover how the themes of suffering, repentance, faith, and hope ultimately point to Jesus Christ. Whether you are facing trials, seeking a deeper understanding of God’s character, or learning how to trust Him through difficult seasons, this study offers timeless encouragement and biblical wisdom.
Women
A vibrant community of women seeking to know God through study in His Word. We encourage and equip women to stay in fellowship throughout the year within various Bible studies that are offered in the spring, summer, and fall. You’ll find Farmington First women serving and discipling others within the church and reaching out beyond our walls to impact the community in ways that glorify God.
Men
We biblically train and equip men to be spiritual leaders in their homes, in the church, and in their places of business. The Men’s Ministry develops men in Christian living to make an eternal impact for this generation and those to come. We accomplish this mission through Bible study, discipleship groups, evangelism training, leadership development, mentoring, retreats, and special events. In today’s culture, it’s increasingly important for men to honor God with their hearts and lives.
Areas to Serve
At Farmington First, our goal is to see everyone plugged into a class or group AND to find a place for you to SERVE. These are two critical aspects of being a member of Farmington First Baptist Church. There are always opportunities to serve.
One of our key statements here at Farmington First is to SERVE SELFLESSLY. To serve as Jesus served. That means to serve others at Farmington First and to serve others in our community.
