MINISTRIES
XTREME KIDS
Xtreme Kids ministers to children ages birth through 5th grade. Our main purpose is to provide a loving, nurturing, and safe environment in which to teach our children the importance of a personal relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ. We do this by partnering with parents, family members, and the church body to instill a deep-seated desire to:
- Love Christ
- Live for Christ
- Lead others to Christ
At each stage of a child’s life, we aim to instill an age appropriate understanding of the love of Jesus Christ and what it means to follow Him. Our children are taught the Word of God in a meaningful, kid-friendly, creative and fun way. This is accomplished through our Nursery Program, Bible Fellowship Classes, Children’s Church, and Team Kid.
We would love for you to join us!
MOTHER’S DAY OUT
WHO DOES YOUR PROGRAM SERVE?
Our Mother’s Day Out program offers classes for children ages 15 months through 4 years old. A child must be 15 months old by August 15 to start in our program. Our program is open to church members and non-church members.
WHAT ARE THE DAYS AND TIMES OF YOUR PROGRAM?
You may choose from Mondays/Wednesdays OR Tuesdays/Thursdays. The hours are 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We follow the Arlington Community Schools’ calendar.
WHAT DO I NEED TO REGISTER MY CHILD?
A new registration form must be filled out each year. A $65.00 NON-REFUNDABLE registration fee is required for the 2 day/week program.
WHAT IS MY TUITION EACH MONTH?
Tuition per month is $180.00 for the Monday/Wednesday OR Tuesday/Thursday program. The tuition price includes Tumbling classes for the month and Kindermusik classes for the month. We also offer a sibling discount if you need to enroll multiple children.
DOES YOUR PROGRAM HAVE A CURRICULUM?
Our program is structured and we do have a Bible based curriculum in place. The children have a Bible story each week; a unit of study for the week; and a letter, color, number, and shape of the week that they are exposed to in some form or fashion depending on the age group.
HOW MANY TEACHERS ARE IN EACH CLASSROOM?
Each classroom has two teachers: a lead teacher and an assistant teacher. Faith Baptist Arlington’s Mother’s Day Out is dedicated to providing a child-centered program where Christian values are stressed. Our goal is to share the love of Christ in everything we do. We would love to have you and your family as part of our program!

THE VIVE YOUTH MINISTRY
CONNECTING WITH GOD | CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE
The Vive youth ministry is led by youth pastor Andrew Fortner. His wife, Kelsey, serves alongside him and ministers to the girls.
GOALS: To seek the lost and equip the found
The Vive student ministry is centered around Psalms 119:154:
“Plead my cause and redeem me; reVIVE me according to your word”
A WORD FROM ANDREW:
Am I sending out the kind of students who will show up to college in a different state, join a church and begin doing the work of gospel ministry there without ever being asked? Am I equipping them or merely just giving them a good time while they are with us? If I have not equipped the students in my ministry to share the gospel, disciple and lead people then I have not fulfilled my calling to them.
-
More life on life
-
Stretch the students spiritually

Seek past self (how can we serve more)
-
Students meeting with each other outside of church activities diving deeper into the word

MUSIC MINISTRY
“Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.” -Psalm 33:3
We worship with our voices, our instruments and our hearts, singing praises to the Lord for His eternal love and grace. From the stage and every single seat, the voices and instruments of Faith Baptist Arlington fill the sanctuary, desiring to honor Him with every note.
Our ministry of worship is built on a number of foundational truths and strategies:
1. We are created to worship – to have intimate fellowship with God.
2. As we worship we truly experience the presence of God.
3. Our goal is to lead those who are part of our community at Faith Baptist Church to understand the joy of meaningful worship, and to ignite a passion for the presence of God.
Our ministry of worship is characterized by worship-leading team members. These people are diverse in function and style, but share common vision and purpose. Everyone who considers Faith Baptist Arlington home is invited to explore the possibility of becoming a part of one of our teams. Contact us for additional information about how you can become a part of a worship-leading team.
