OUR CHILDREN
In Matthew 19:14, Jesus told His disciples to allow the children to come to Him because "Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven". The children in our church today will be the leaders in our church tomorrow. Our intent is to help prepare them for the task.
-
We have Sunday School classes for children 2 years old and above. The Lord has brought teachers who love their students and are concerned for their spiritual growth.
-
During the Sunday morning service, we have Children's Church for children 4-9 years old. Our intent is to train children and prepare them to be able to effectively participate in the regular church services.
-
During our Wednesday evening service, we have our Frontline Clubs ministry for children from Kindergarten through sixth grade. In Frontline Clubs, children are taught the Bible, play Bible-related games and earn badges for a variety of activities.
-
For children younger than 2 years old, we have a nursery during each service, staffed with trained, diligent workers.
YOUTH MINISTRY
We understand the pressures and pit-falls faced by teens in our culture. We have developed a program to assist our teens and their parents in preparing our young people for service, and helping to protect them from falling prey to the wiles of the devil, or the allurements of the world.
-
We have a Sunday School class for teens in which our teens are taught through specific books of the Bible or Biblical topics where our intent is to promote their spiritual growth. A major part of the teen class is our F.O.C.U.S. program (Faithfully Obeying Christ Unto Sanctification). It is a program which encourages our teens in developing good habits in the area of Bible reading/study, church attendance, verse memorization, service in the church and service to others.
-
Our teens meet every Sunday for a teen fellowship, after the Sunday School, in our church second floor class rooms. The teachers perform activity and sometime choir rehearsal and the teens enjoy a time of singing and sharing testimonies before going to the main hall to listen to the word of God.
-
Our teens also meet once a month for a teen activity. The activity is usually on a Saturday and can include things like bowling, sledding, hiking, capture the flag, and much much more. The youth committee provides the meal for the activity and our teen leaders plans the activity.
