Children's
Ministry
Our mission is to make young disciples that grow into adult disciples with the foundation of God's Word.
Children's Church
Young Disciples that Love like Christ
The Children's Ministry is an act of love for all of the teachers, parents, and young disciples involved. Parents, we know it takes faithfulness in dropping your young disciple off to church on time — and getting up early on a weekend can sound difficult. However, the Biblical teachings and connections made among the young disciples, younger and older, will be worth the sacrifice! And Lord willing, it will provide a rich experience to those with an open heart and a deeper understanding of His Word and love for Him. Bring your Bibles... they will be open the entire time!
Young Disciples that Reach Out to Others
Praying together connects us with the purposes of Christ. The Apostle John writes: "And this is the confidence we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him." (1 John 5:14-15).
Serving our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church
The Children's Church ministry serves our young disciples, but as a result, they learn to serve as well. We give honor to the Lord above anything else. During our time of worship, you may find some of our young disciples serving one another, singing, playing the piano, assisting with the presentation of slides, lending a helping hand, and encouraging children younger than them. Above all else, our desire for serving Christ and His church is to serve in love.
Teachers Dedicated to the Word of God
What a joy and blessing to serve in the Lord's calling of a teacher! Our teachers meet regularly to prepare and teach lessons that are Biblically accurate, often bringing their own spiritual gifts into this service for the church. God gets all the glory! With high regard for God's Word, each lesson is taught directly from Scripture and further expanded upon so that the young disciples can apply the teachings to their lives. Ultimately, we are preparing our young disciples for a lifetime of worship.
Prayerful Young Disciples
Our ministry at Living Word encourages prayer and sharing testimonies of answered prayers regularly. Not only do we share our prayer requests, but we equip our young disciples on Biblical prayer and communion with our Lord. One of our favorite prayers is called the "popcorn prayer," where the young disciples and teachers will pray aloud individually as they are prompted. As was modeled by Jesus in the Lord's Prayer, we focus on the adoration of God, the confession of sins, giving thanks to God, and covering any prayer requests the young disciples may have.
"not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."
— Hebrews 10:25
