Preparing a Generation
We need just over 100 equipped ministry partners to partner with us in our mission to capture children’s hearts and imaginations for Jesus–grounded in the goodness of God’s word. We’re preparing for this fall, and we hope you will join us. Join us as we build teams, develop leaders, and invest in the joy of the next generation (Ephesians 4:12).
Our mission is simple—to show children Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:18).
Will you join us in reaching and training the next generation in the joy of knowing Jesus?
Here’s what you need to know about our ministry.
Jesus-centered: In our children’s discipleship ministry, we believe that the most important topic children can learn about is Jesus.
Family context: We believe that God placed children in families by design, and no ministry to children is complete without engaging and equipping parents.
Excellence in all things: We believe that pursuing excellence in our ministry is essential to honor and glorify God!
We train you: We know that serving in children’s ministry can be intimidating, so we offer training and coaching to help bridge that gap.
We are learners: We believe that none of us are too experienced to continue learning. Pastors too!
Ministry Partner Roles
Our ministry runs on small group leaders. Classroom ministry teams include several different roles that assist and empower our small group leaders, but our small group leaders are where the rubber meets the road in our child discipleship.
Small group leaders are critical in connecting the truths of God’s word with children’s hearts.
And we know how intimidating leading a small group of children can be—which is why we will train you. It’s also why we have a team leader for each class who is there to provide coaching and support. Classroom teams include diverse ministry roles because God has uniquely gifted his church with varied skills which can all be used to reach the next generation for Christ.

-
Go deep with a consistent small group of 6–9 children.
