What is the purpose for our children's ministry?

We seek to educate our children to worship and serve the Lord in age appropriate ways, beginning with manifestations of God's love, leading to salvation and then to discipleship and service.
We believe that every child is a unique miracle in God's creation and it is a privilege to teach them His scriptural principles.
It is also an awesome responsibility and we are committed to utilizing every available resource to help them become successful Christians.

Our children's ministry addresses five important areas of ministry needs:

Worship	Children need to discover what worship is and how they may honor God with their worship opportunities to participate in meaningful worship experiences on their own level of understanding.
Evangelism	Children need the opportunity to hear, understand, and apply the Gospel of our Lord for themselves, on their own level of understanding, as well as, be encouraged to bring their unchurched friends into this ministry.
Discipleship	Children need the opportunity to hear, understand, and apply the Gospel of our Lord for themselves, on their own level of understanding, as well as, be encouraged to bring their unchurched friends into this ministry. It is vitally important that children know what the Bible says know what the Bible means be helped to relate Truth to their own lives
Ministry Service	Children need the opportunity to serve the Lord and others. These opportunities help solidify in the heart and minds of our children the biblical definition of faith (belief and service).
Fellowship	Christian fellowship is especially important for children in the elementary school years, when influences of the peer group are increasing. Opportunities to fellowship with Christian children, teens, and adults can be a significant factor in helping children respond early to Christ and remain faithful in living for Him.
