Our Ministries
Infants & Toddlers
"Jesus Loves the Little Children" is a familiar song, the lyrics of which reflect our commitment to children of all ages. Children aren't only loved at FBC Roanoke; they are nurtured and trained in the ways and words of the Savior who loves them.

Preschool Ministry (Birth to Kindergarten)

The purpose of our Preschool Ministry is to help parents lay a foundation of faith in the lives of their preschoolers. Believing that the first few years of a child's life are extremely important we provide an environment that is safe, friendly, and fun. Through creative hands-on activities preschoolers can learn about God, Jesus, the Bible, church, family, and self.
