We believe that families are the core of spiritual development. It is our job to come alongside parents and provide tools, tips, and opportunities to encourage spiritual development at home.
Our vision
is that children will begin a lifelong, joyous relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our mission
is to partner with families as a nurturing, biblical community that provides child-relevant and age-appropriate opportunities for children, so they can come to know Him, learn to love Him, and be equipped to serve Him.
About Children's Ministry
We are Ministry Partner-driven
Following the model in Ephesians 4:11, the Children’s Ministries staff works to equip those individuals whom God has gifted for ministry to children. We seek to discover, train, and encourage volunteers, Ministry Partners, to be Christian role models and exercise their spiritual gifts in fruitful service to children and families.
We are child-centered
All programs, instruction, and activities are developed to meet the spiritual needs of children. We present truth with excellence, creativity, variety, and fun, which allows children to experience God in a personal manner appropriate for their age.
We are safe, secure, and accountable
Procedures to guard the health, welfare, and spiritual development of each child take precedence over all other considerations or conveniences. Accountability to God and our mission is expected of all personnel and programs.
We are family-oriented
Children are served in the context of family relationships. To minister most effectively to children, it requires a broader ministry in partnership with their family.
