Our Beliefs

We believe:

• Children are a gift from God and should be handled with love and care.

• Children are important in the kingdom of God and that Christ died to redeem children from their sin.

• Christ has called children to follow Him and children can be equipped to serve Christ and others.

• Children deserve a safe, positive, nurturing and age-appropriate learning environment that is free of fear, pressure to "grow up", or prejudice.

• That ministry is not just “for” children but “through” children.  We learn from children as we teach them.  And, the Lord wants to use them to further His kingdom.

• That God has appointed parents as the primary spiritual instructors of their children and the church's role is to assist in the cooperative effort of that task.

• Successful ministry is the shared responsibility of children, ministry staff & volunteers,parents and the church body.

• Positive self-esteem promotes both personal growth and growth in a relationship with God.

• Ministry should be creative, innovative and in touch with the children and families of our community.

• Effective teachers and helpers are the most important component of our ministry.

• Relational ministry is best served with adults and young people who serve as positive role models to the child.
