Children’s Director-
Haley Nance
Hey guys! My name is Haley and I’m the Children’s Director at First Baptist. I have lived in Doniphan my entire life and love this area and the people. I’ve been married to Alex for 5 years and we have two BEAUTIFUL children.
I’m so thankful for my family. My most favorite thing to do is spend time with them, no matter what we are doing, as long as we are together!
I always say my favorite verse is 1 John 4:4 because it’s my dad’s favorite but Romans 2:13 is one I try to live by: “For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.”

I believe that children are God’s precious gift to us and we, here at First Baptist would LOVE your children to come and be a part of our church nursery and preschool and learn about God’s goodness and love.
