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.

We offer nursery for birth to 3 years of age on Sunday mornings. Our nursery is located on the 1st floor of the Kinney Children's Building. It is staffed with wonderful, caring, volunteers as well as paid staff who will take care of your children. We assign families a pager and security tag in case you are needed. You must present your pager and tag at the end of the service to pick up your child.

Our children are a part of the Body of Christ and are an important part of worship. They have gifts of worship to offer as do adults.

There are many ways in which children engage in worship:

• Children's Sunday School
• Children in Worship and Children's Church
• Children's Choir
• Seasonal Activities

The MABC Youth Ministry seeks to empower and nurture spiritual growth in middle and high school students. We provide a number of activities, outings, and trips to further fellowship with each other and with God. In addition, we seek to challenge students with in-depth Bible studies as we mine the truths of Scripture and how it applies to our lives.  

Our mission statement, written by our students, is as follows:

"Knowing that we are better together because we each have unique gifts, we will use our strengths to spread the Word of God in our community and in each others' lives."

There are many ways in which our youth engage in worship:

• Sunday School
• Worship participation
• Inside Out
• Seasonal Activities
