Our Mission

First Steps, a ministry of Fresno First Baptist Church, is a Christ-centered learning facility whose goal is to train children in a loving and caring environment.  First Steps partners with their families so children will develop in all areas of life: academic, emotional, physical, social and spiritual.

First Steps has been operating since July 2002, and currently has about 35 children enrolled.  We have an on-going Open Door Policy – Parents, family and friends, you are more than welcome to drop in anytime!  You will be comfortable and appreciated.  As part of our mission is to work with families, we enjoy parent participation whenever possible.
