Your kids are important to us! It is our desire to come alongside parents in order to supplement their God-given task of raising their children to personally know and love Christ, and then help them live a God-centered life.
This is accomplished through our Children’s programs (click for more info):

My name is Tara Swist and it is a privilege to serve as the Children’s Ministry Director at Raymond Baptist Church. Having a heart for children and a love for sharing the Good News of Christ, I serve alongside my husband Ken, of 20 years, on the worship team, directing Vacation Bible School and serving in various ministries throughout the church.
Raised in a Christian home, I accepted Christ’s gift of salvation at a Billy Graham Crusade in Boston my junior year of high school. Upon graduating high school, I enrolled at Gordon College, in Wenham, MA, earning my Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education.
This led to a 15-year teaching career in both private and public schools, and 7 summer’s directing summer camps. After adopting our 5 children, I have had the privilege of being a stay at home mom, as well as, homeschooling them.

It is our desire to come alongside parents in order to supplement their God-given task to raising their children to personally know and love Christ, and then help them live a God-centered life. As well as, to Impact the families in our communities, as we Reach, Teach and Serve by showing the love of Christ.
