Mission and Values
Our mission is to help children:
- know that they are valued and loved by God
- experience a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ
- learn foundational biblical truths of God's plan, commandments, and promises
- be filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live as God calls them
- feel connected, supported, loved, and valued in the Body of Christ
We value an environment and ministry that is:
- loving and welcoming, as Jesus was with the children when he said, "Let the little children come to me." Matthew 19:14
- physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe. We have also established safety and security procedures, all for the protection of children in our care. All volunteers and staff are screened, trained, and supervised
- biblically-based, providing an accurate foundation and overview of the Scriptures and God's plan of salvation through Jesus Christ
- age-appropriate and relevant to children's lives
- creative, interactive, and fun, accommodating a variety of learning styles
- experiential. Children can experience God through authentic worship, prayer, and through the filling of the
Holy Spirit
- equipping children to serve others in ministry and love through the guidance and gifting of the Holy Spirit.
- supportive of children as they cope with the struggles of real life
- positive and celebratory, helping children understand the grace and riches found through Jesus Christ.
- in partnership with families to spiritually nurture their children
