OUR STORY & BELIEFS

About Us

First Baptist School is a Christ-centered school located in the rural town of Caldwell, Texas with a population of 4,315. First Baptist School was established in the fall of 1981 as a Pre-Kindergarten program. The school has experienced tremendous growth over the last 40 years. Kindergarten was added in 1984, and a first grade in 1985. In 1986, a second grade, a Wee 3 class, and another class of Pre-Kindergarten was added. Third, fourth, and fifth grades were added in 1990, 1991, and 1992 respectively. Sixth through eighth grades were added in 2000, 2001, and 2002.

Due to generous support and the endowment donations, Phases 1 and 2 of the school building project were completed. In October 2008, First Baptist School moved into the current building. Funds are being donated to allow for completion of Phase 3. First Baptist School does offer its staff : an integrated curriculum that builds from year to year, smaller class ratios, engaged stakeholders that are passionate about children, and learning in a caring, loving, but challenging environment.

The past 3 years have been a new journey for First Baptist School as we welcomed a new Administrator, navigated through the Covid pandemic, and the retirement of the First Baptist Church pastor of 26 years. Change has been inevitable, but First Baptist School has stepped up to the challenge. Currently, students are on campus with the ability to go virtual as needed. Even with all the unknowns, First Baptist School continues to embrace each challenge in its quest to academic and spiritual excellence as we seek to train, equip, and educate our students to impact the world for Christ.

Not only would we love your children to be part of FBS, we would love your entire family to join us at First Baptist Church!

What We Believe

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory.

We believe that for salvation of the lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is necessary.

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.

We believe God’s design for marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime.

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

We believe that heaven and hell are definite places.

We believe in the Spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
