We Value...

Being child-friendly

Our aim is for children to have fun in a creative and safe environment.   We will provide learning experiences that are exciting and age appropriate.   We will also facilitate families with our Plan to Protect policy, which includes Photo ID.   

Mark 10:16  "And He took them up in His arms, put His hands on them, and blessed them."

Winning children to Christ

We are committed to reaching children of all ages and winning them to Christ through personal evangelism, community outreach and net events.

Mark 10:14  "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God."

Intentional shepherding

Caring for children happens in nurturing relationships.  Our leaders will mentor and disciple children by consistently modeling Christ and leading them further on in their spiritual journey. 

John 10:11-13  "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 

The intimacy and ministry of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit empowers the children to live victorious and transformed lives.  Children are encouraged to seek the infilling of the Holy Spirit through corporate worship, prayer and God's Word in order to be strong witnesses for God.

Acts 1:8  "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Equipping children

We aim to develop and release children as leaders by encouraging, empowering, and equipping them through a discipleship process. 

Proverbs 22:6  "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."

Gift-oriented ministry

God, for the benefit of His Kingdom uniquely gifts all believers.  Through team ministry, we will enable them to grow, develop and use their gifts to effectively minister to children.    

Romans 12:6  "Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them."

Partnering with families

We will come alongside parents and caregivers to encourage them as the primary spiritual influencers of the children.   Connecting through relational learning opportunities, we will join families in raising Spiritual Champions.    

Deuteronomy 6:6-9  "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
