At Milledge Avenue Baptist Church we believe that the family is the center of faith development and spiritual formation for children and youth. 

Relationships- We want our students to learn from a church FAMILY so we do our best to provide multigenerational leaders and volunteers for our student ministry programs where children, youth, and their families can develop relationships with many different members of our church family.

Age Appropriate- We want students to learn about the love of God in ways they understand. We provide curriculum and learning environments that foster age-appropriate learning.

Safety- Families can trust that their children are cared for by workers and volunteers that have been background checked and screened. Security tags and pager systems are in place in the nursery for parent's peace of mind.

Creative and Fun- When students have fun and positive learning experiences at church they want to come back! 

Christ Centered- In everything we do, we want children to learn about the love of God and to ultimately become Christ followers. We never sacrifice the truth of scripture for fun or entertainment.
