We believe raising godly children is the
job of godly parents and rejoice in the privilege of serving parents in
their task. We believe children are uniquely close to the heart of God,
so ministry to children is a high and lofty service that shapes years
of a church’s future and the lives of individual children.
[your ministry description here] Our intergenerational approach involves adults, teens and children all
mixed together. We believe every member is a minister. Therefore, teens
are often teaching, praying, leading worship and setting an example for
our children here at [Your Church]. It is very normal to see a
twelve-year-old taking a leadership role with a kindergartener. We
prefer to have Biblical truths discovered rather than just handed down
by teachers, so we engage the children in a process of learning through
role-playing, games, crafts, object lessons and service.
Our kids are broken up into two primary groups:
[Your church children's ministry information here]
-

AWANA is a very popular weekly
club meeting for pre-Kindergarten to 6th grade kids.
The kids enjoy wearing their red members’ vest upon which they display
the various patches and awards earned for a variety of accomplishments.
Each weekly meeting provides creative Bible teaching, games, snacks, and
opportunity for the kids to work toward earning their awards.
Annual highlights include the Grand Prix in which the kids race their
matchbox cars. For information contact Monica Notz at

Nursery is the child’s first experience in a church environment and sometimes the first environment away from parents. It is a great responsibility and an exciting opportunity to be available to teach our youngest children that God loves them and that others love them too.
The nursery ministry is committed to care for, comfort, and meet the needs of young children ages birth to 3 years old. Our goal is to make the nursery a safe, healthy, and enjoyable environment for kids, parents and workers alike.
Our theme in the nursery is excellence. Jesus elevated the ministry to children in front of his disciples, teaching them the importance of these young souls. Therefore, the nursery ministry has a dual purpose. The first purpose is to teach young children from birth that Jesus loves them. We believe children from birth can understand Jesus’ love by feeling loved by others. Our secondary focus is the parents of these little ones. We offer quality child care during the service in order to give the adults the opportunity to worship and listen to the message free from distraction.
