Children and Family Ministry

MISSION
Jesus loves children and so do we. (Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." - Matthew 19:14)

We will show this by providing a safe and nurturing environment for all God’s children to grow in love and devotion to God.

VALUES
• God-centered
• Kid-targeted
• Family and faith community-oriented
• Outward-reaching
• Spiritual gifts-based
• Fun and applicable
• Reflective of God’s love and grace

KNOW, GROW, SHOW, AND GO
We value children as precious members of our church. We want kids to KNOW each member of the Trinity personally, continue to GROW spiritually, to SHOW God’s love and grace to everyone, and ultimately to GO out and make disciples of Christ all for the glory and honor of God.
