Preschool Ministry Overview

Our Mission and philosophy
To impact newborn – kindergarten children and their families so they are able to:

*CONNECT to God and others

*GROW in knowledge and understanding through practical experiences.

*SERVE together so children discover their uniqueness and eventually God’s mission for their lives.

*WORSHIP individually and corporately in order to show our love for God through everything we do.

Children matter to God.

 

All children are special to God and need to be accepted and loved at all times. Jesus set the example, and we are clearly called to model and communicate God’s love to them.

Children need loving relationships.

We want children to build meaningful relationships with God, their peers, and the adults around them so that through these encounters they receive hope and encouragement for everyday living.

Children need a Biblical foundation.

Entering into a relationship with Jesus Christ is a process-oriented experience.  We want to lay a spiritual foundation of understanding so that when the Holy Spirit begins to move in the heart of a child, he or she will be prepared to make an informed decision about accepting Jesus Christ as personal Savior.

Children need are-appropriate application.

We are dedicated to presenting the message of Jesus Christ in relevant, age-specific ways so that the principles of God’s Word provide practical ways for kids to cope in the midst of family problems, school pressures, illness, death, divorce, loneliness, fear, and the uncertainty of life.

Children need creativity and fun.

God designed children to have creative imaginations, a variety of learning styles and a desire to have fun.  We want to present the truth of God’s Word through methods which are consistent with how children are created to think and learn.
