Junior Church Children's Ministry
Mission:

The Junior Church children's ministry is committed to giving our children an understanding of the love of God for them through Jesus Christ, and their responsibility to Him. By involving our children in worship on their level, they get an understanding of the reverence and respect our Lord should get from them as children. We are committed to helping our children grow in their Christian faith by weekly Bible study, Sunday service Bible drills and messages given on their level. We serve to help our children understand that the church is a support to what the Lord  expects the parents to do (Deut. 6:4-7; Prov. 4:1-4, 22:6; Eph. 6:4). Knowing children are rewards from the Lord (Ps. 127:3), we serve the Lord by serving His children.

Methods:
•Sunday service Bible search (drill)
•Weekly Bible study (Joshua Generation)
•Celestial Choir
•Addressing challenges faced at home and school (Joshua generation)
•Sermons on the children's level
•After sermon Q/A

Goals:
•To equip our children with the spiritual tools they need to avoid the tricks and traps that Satan puts in their way.
•To support our parents in raising their children in the fear of the Lord.
•To provide some counseling to the children and their parents for challenges they face.
•To expose some of the tricks/methods Satan uses against children.
•To prepare our children for continued spiritual growth as the Church of Jesus Christ.
Our children are not the Church of tomorrow—they are the Church right now. Every child that believes in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is important to the life and witness of the Church (Matt. 5:13-16, 28:19-20; John 20:21; Acts 1:8). For the child who has not received Jesus Christ, they need to know they too are precious to the Lord and the object of His love, care and attention (Mark 10:13-16), and wants them to be part of His family. The Junior Church ministry is committed to children knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and growing in their faith to the glory of God, making a difference wherever they go.
