INSTRUMENTAL
We are committed to helping kids experience God’s love through our worship services and share the love of Jesus through relationships here at church and in their community. Our goal is to help kids build their faith by using Bible stories, songs, and group activities designed for 3 month through 6th grade.
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
Not just in terms of physical safety (which is a high priority) but also spiritual and emotional safety. Any time a child walks through the doors of Kids Church they need to feel as if they are entering a safe haven where they can experience a brief taste of the unconditional love their Heavenly Father has for them.
Be a place of discovery and growth
Children are sponges absorbing the world around them. We should aim to create environments that creatively reveal to them the story of a loving God that desperately wants to have a personal relationship with them. That is why we utilize videos, live drama, puppets, games, worship, small group discussion, object lessons and anything else that you can dream up to serve as tools to reach a child and help them mature in their faith. If kids are bored or disconnected they are not going to be listening, thinking or growing.
Support the parent-child relationship
Parents are the single largest influencer in a child’s life and the ones who are ultimately responsible to God for their upbringing. Since this is the case, we make every effort to make parents aware of the material being introduced to their children and equip them to continue on the discussion at home.
Be experiential
Children need to experience firsthand what it means to be loved unconditionally, to worship with all they have, and to serve others selflessly. It is one thing to give them the knowledge of an all-powerful, all-loving God worthy of our praise and an entirely different level to give them the opportunity to actually love, worship and serve him.
