CHILDREN'S MINISTRY PHILOSOPHY

The Children’s Ministries are committed to developing the highest VALUES in children as they become more and more LIKE CHRIST. This is accomplished as every child is systematically taught God’s Word in a SAFE ENVIRONMENT with ENTHUSIASM and EXCELLENCE by teachers who LOVE Christ and LOVE children.

CORE VALUES

• Children are spiritually receptive and highly valued by God.
• God’s Spirit works powerfully in children through godly parents and loving church teachers.
• Caring teacher/student relationships are as important as great teaching.
• Parents need to be equipped and encouraged to guide the spiritual development of their children.
• Life application should accompany all Bible teaching ministries.
• Children learn best when actively involved in an enjoyable learning process.

FAMILY

God has assigned parents the responsibility of "training up a child in the way he or she should go." (Proverbs 22:6)  The teaching, modeling, and lifestyle of the parents has a much greater influence on a child than the church can ever have. 

SAFETY

For your child’s safety, our lay ministers submit an application with references. Lay ministers work in a team and are never alone with the children. All families are asked to use the computerized check-in system to check their child in and out of Sunday school. Each child and parent will be given matching name badges each Sunday morning. You will need the matching badge to pick your child up each Sunday morning.
