An applicant must have been a resident member of First Baptist Nashville for one year prior to entering a post-secondary program.
Application forms, along with scholarship descriptions, are available from Student Ministry Assistant Marissa Moore or online at firstbaptistnashville.org.

March CollectionWhat a great ministry we have for women in The Next Door! Its incredible impact and growth amaze us all. One of the small ways that we help is through a collection once a year of needed items. Suggestions include deodorant, toothbrushes, towels, washcloths and umbrellas. Bring your items and deposit them in the collection bins at the Main Entrances.

Spring Cleaning Cancelled The Spring Cleaning day planned for Saturday, March 23, has been cancelled. We encourage all Sunday School teachers and leaders to clean Sunday School areas as they are able to. Stay tuned for a future cleaning day!
Worship Care Volunteers NeededOur nursery is growing, and it is time for us to add another classroom for our little ones that have turned one. God has answered our prayer with amazing Sunday School teachers ready to lead! However, we need to add at least 16 volunteers to teach during the Worship hour once every other month through August. Help us meet this need by making this opportunity to serve known in your circles. If you are not serving in our Nursery on Sunday mornings, consider volunteering. We can begin the volunteer screening process ASAP. Our goal is to be ready for this room to open by Easter.If you’d like to volunteer your time singing songs, playing games, and teaching preschoolers about Jesus, please contact Mary Bunn at [email protected].
Harvest HandsAre you aware that our Student Ministry volunteers with Harvest Hands and Preston Taylor Ministries (PTM) in their after-school care programs? We currently have a few students volunteering in each location, but we need 6 – 12 volunteers each Wednesday afternoon from 4 – 6 p.m. until the end of the school year.
