The vision that fuels our work in Children's Ministries grows out of Jesus' words in Mark 10:14, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." In the midst of a consuming ministry to adults, Jesus regularly ministered to children. We believe the future of the church depends on effective ministry to children today.

The staff is committed to Children's Ministries' mission statement:

To partner with those who minister with children, by encouraging, educating, and equipping.

They are also dedicated to the vision statement:  Children's Ministries?connecting a new generation with Jesus Christ giving children HOPE and WHOLENESS and opportunities for WORSHIP and MINISTRY.

In the face of twenty-first century challenges, the church must strengthen its commitment to reach every child and family possible, teach them effectively, win them to Christ as early as the Holy Spirit gives opportunity, disciple them, and empower them to be disciple makers. Children's Ministries is here to assist with this critical task as the local children's ministries coordinates a unified ministry that reaches out to unchurched children and meets the spiritual needs of children from birth to age 12.
