Our goal in children’s ministry is to tell and show the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power and the wonders He has done (Ps. 78.1-7). We desire our children to be wooed by the love of God for them. We pray they will feel loved and valued as Jesus loved the children!
We also pray that being with their church family is the happiest place they can be, creating lifetime memories that solidify the Gospel Good News in their hearts and in that joy they are propelled into life long security in and service to King Jesus.
We have wonderful promises from God to believe! He has said He will keep His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep his commandments (Dt 7.9) and that the promise of the Holy Spirit is for us and our children (Acts 2.28). How exciting that our story is part of God’s thousands of generations!
