The most fruitful area of ministry is children’s ministry. It is the ministry with the most potential. Young hearts are open hearts. Children are ready and willing to receive the truth and love of God. Their faith is simple and pure. Because of this potential we have a tremendous opportunity to add many to the Kingdom of God and raise up young disciples for Christ. Because of this tremendous opportunity we have a great responsibility to make the most of it. The only way we can effectively meet this challenge is to be a team, a “dream team.”

The Children’s Ministry Dream Team is God’s Dream Team. Children are at the heart of God. They are an important, essential part of God’s family and vital to growth and discipleship in the Kingdom of God. By applying the wisdom of God with the grace of God we can be that dream team that God is calling to take the gospel message and break it into little pieces for this awesome young generation.

In Luke 18, Jesus had been teaching in parables when it records that people began to bring children to Jesus that he might touch them. It goes on to say that when the disciples saw it that they rebuked the people. But Jesus called them and said, “suffer the little children to come to me.”

Our Children’s ministries are set up as one department called the REACH Children’s Department. We purposed to do this so that we could develop and maintain a consistent flow of ministry with our church from the nursery all the way to the teen ministries. Each level builds and prepares young people for the next. We have never met an adult who was not a child at least once in their life. In the same way, we want to teach the Word of God to every age group at their own level while preparing them for the next class and for a lifetime of love and service for the Lord.

The Children’s Department is sub-divided into 4 ministries which include the Nursery (newborn - 11 months), Nursery (ages 1-2), Pre-school (ages 3-5) and Elementary (grades1-5) which are provided each Sunday morning. Each of these ministries offers specialized classes, activities and ministry opportunities.
