Sunday School
Sunday School is the lifeblood of our Christian education program, with classes available for all ages. Our Sunday School classes serve as a means of learning about the Scriptures, and an opportunity for fellowship with one another in smaller groups. All of our Sunday School Classes meet at 9:45 AM on Sunday morning.

AWANA is an international, Bible centered youth ministry providing local churches with weekly clubs and programs from three-year olds through sixth grade. Our goal is to reach boys and girls, and their families, with the gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him. The acronym AWANA comes from the first letters of Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed - II Timothy 2:15.

Started approximately 20 years ago as a ministry to the Deaf, First Baptist Church of Lapeer has given the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who may never have heard it otherwise.

A group of men from First Baptist Church of Lapeer brings the Gospel to incarcerated men in Lapeer County Jail on Sunday nights and Wednesday nights. Many of the men at the jail are at a very low point in their lives. As we share with them the gospel, our prayer is that they would repent and be converted and begin a new life with Christ.
