Establishing the Foundation Of The Next Generation

Our goal is to assist the children of the congregation to gain an understanding of what it is to truly

Experience, Grow and Share Christ’s Love.

There are different programs available for each age group that will assist the children to grow closer to Christ and learn what it means to be a good disciple.  Programs will vary from infant/Nursery care, Sunday School, Children’s Church, Midweek Lessons, Vacation Bible School, Mission Projects, and celebrations all with the intent of growing faith, family/friend relationships, and sense of community.

Childhood is when most people find Jesus.

Childhood conversion is the most common way people come to Christ. Evangelism is most effective in the childhood and teenage years.

  • 2/3 of Christians came to faith before the age of 18.

  • 43% came to Christ before the age 12.

  • Less than 1/4 of current believers came to Christ after the age 21.

This type of data has been confirmed time and again. Researchers describe childhood as a life stage when people are most open to the Gospel. This has led to a focus on children aged 4 to 14:  to win a people group to Christ, begin with the children.
