Our focus is sharing the gospel with children, so they can grow in their relationship with God. Our ministry exists to glorify God by:
Teaching children the gospel most importantly:
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16
Setting examples of love
Don’t let anyone despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
Encouraging children to serve instead of being served
If anyone serves me, he must follow me. Where I am, there my servant also will be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. John 12:26
Encouraging children to take part in missions
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Acts 1:8
