Children's Ministry
Preschool Ministry (Birth to Kindergarten)
Our Preschool Ministry is much more than childcare. Our purpose is to teach God's "little ones" about His love for them through child-friendly Bible stories and application activities. Our ultimate goal is to share the message of God's love, and through this build young lives that are grounded in the knowledge of God's love and His special plans for their lives. Our goals are:
- To provide a safe, secure and welcoming environment to help preschoolers through the separation anxiety stage so they will be glad to come to the house of the Lord.
- To help preschoolers know that the Bible is a special book that tells of God's love for them and His special plan for their lives.
- To support and partner with the family to begin developing spiritual , mental , and physical maturity in the lives of God's "little ones".
Mission Friends is for both boys and girls from ages 2 years - 5 years. They meet on Wednesday night at 7:00 pm-8:00 pm with an emphasis on learning about missions and missionaries usually through crafts and other fun age-appropriate activities.
Children's Ministry (Grades 1 through 6)
Children respond more readily to the message of salvation than any other age group. Eighty-five percent of all salvations occur between ages 4 and 14. It is because of this that the shaping of the future church leadership begins during these formative years. If we do not win the children...we lose the future. Our goals are to:
- Introduce children to Jesus Christ, His purpose, and ability to forgive their sin and restore them to a right relationship with God.
- Disciple and teach children to help them grow in their understanding of and relationship with God. Teach them in fun and exciting ways that will stick with them as they grow.
- Impact and shape the future of The Church, Our Society, and the World by developing tomorrow's leaders today!
