Education
A long history of caring for children
Child care at First Baptist Church of Silver Spring goes back to our very beginning and has been a part of our ministry ever since our founding. The picture to the left is a Sunday School class at First Baptist Church of Silver Spring in 1957,
The commitment continues today
Sunday School is still an important part of our mission today. Here in our brand new building we've dedicated a large section of the space to classrooms to continue helping our children become the very best people they can be.
Find out about opportunities for your children
In addition to our weekly Bible Study classes there are many other activities available to your children at First Baptist Church of Silver Spring. For example, this summer we're offering Vacation Bible School from August 5th to the 9th. The sessions will begin at 9am and end at 12 noon. If you would like to enroll your children in Sunday School or in this year's Vacation Bible School please contact the church office.

Join our Support for Eliberto and Molly Juarez in Ministry
On Earth As It Is In Heaven
Eliberto and Molly are endorsed to serve as global servants in El Salvador with IM partner Mision Vida y Paz (MVP), or Mission Life and Peace. They share a strong commitment to peace building and social transformation through the power of the gospel. MVP is an educational program based on biblical values to be used in public schools in El Salvador. The couple will build the MVP program by educating and training Christian volunteers who are committed to serve as agents of transformation in their communities. These volunteers will work with Eliberto and Molly to deploy the MVP curriculum. They seek to see churches living out their calling to bring God's peace to children, families and communities.
