Youth Ministries

The foundation for our children's ministry is the truth that children are called to be a part of the Body of Christ. We believe children will not only be the leaders of the church of tomorrow, but are a vital part of the church today.

"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matt. 19: 14

Children can be born again by faith in Jesus, receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit with all of His gifts, fight spiritual battles, and encounter and overcome temptation to sin.

"Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off-for all whom the Lord our God will call" Acts 2:38,39

We believe that a strong spiritual training in children will result in an ever stronger Body of Christ, ready to meet the ever-increasing challenges of these last days.

Parents have a God-given mandate to nurture and train their children in accordance with God's Word. We are here to reinforce their training, to advise, and to help equip their children to walk in obedience to God.

Therefore, we begin in infant nurseries to teach babies about God, our loving Father and Creator. We continue through preschool and all through elementary grades teaching the Word in power and expecting children to enter into a life-giving, eternal relationship with Jesus Christ, manifesting the gifts of the Holy Spirit as they grow and learn.
