Our Goal:
Our Goal is to Partner with parents to Reach, Teach, and Prepare our children to love God, love others, and become fully mature followers of Jesus.
Partner:
To make sure parents know what we are teaching their children, provide support to help parents develop their parenting skills, and have a direct line of communication to express their opinions and ideas.
Reach:
To reach kids by providing a welcoming atmosphere for all children, including those new to our church. To make church fun and relevant, putting the Good News of Jesus Christ in a kid-friendly package they can open and enjoy. To utilize current technology to enhance their church experience, and to love each child as an individual gift from God.
Teach:
To provide creative teaching for children to learn and apply basic Biblical truths in a fun and exciting format. To build into a Biblical world-view by learning what it means to be a Christian, and how to relate to adults and other children. To provide opportunities for further growth outside of the church's four walls with audio and video tapes, events and missions
.
Prepare:
To prepare children to think Biblically in a "relevant truth" society. We will prepare them to impact their world for Christ now, and in the future, by giving them practical experience in hearing and following God's calling, and helping them to develop in their own faith.
