MISSION OF CHILDREN’S
MINISTRIES
The mission of the
Children’s Ministries Department is to nurture children
into a loving, serving relationship with Jesus. We seek
to fulfil this mission by
developing:
Grace-oriented
ministries, in which all children will
experience the unconditional love of Jesus, find
assurance of acceptance and forgiveness, and make a
commitment to Him.
Inclusive
ministries, in which the volunteers who
minister and the children to whom they minister will be
valued and involved regardless of race, colour, language,
gender, age, abilities, or socio-economic
circumstances.
Leadership
ministries, in which volunteers are
empowered, trained, and equipped for effective ministry
to children.
Service-oriented
ministries, in which children are given
opportunity for hand-son service to people in their
neighbourhood or city, thus, establish a pattern of
outreach to others that may well continue through
life.
Cooperative
ministries, in which the department work
with other ministries, such as family ministries, Sabbath
School, stewardship, and others to further our shared
goals.
Safe
ministries, whereby our churches: a.)
choose volunteers with high spiritual and moral
backgrounds; and, b.) adopt safeguards to protect
children from physical, emotional, and spiritual abuse
and the church from liability.
Evangelistic
ministries, in which children who are not
enfolded in the church will be introduced to the love of
Jesus through outreach programs such as:
Vacation
Bible Schools, Children’s Branch
Sabbath Schools, Neighbourhood Bible Clubs, and Story
Hours.
