Children’s Ministries of
“God commanded the forefathers to teach their children, and they in turn would tell their children… and then… they would put their trust in the Lord..."
Psalm 78
“Whoever welcomes a child in my name welcomes me. But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."
“Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Mathew 18:1-6 & 19:13-14
You see there is nothing closer to the very heart of God than Children! If you do not teach the children of this community then the world will -- and when they do, Satan will steal their minds & their hearts will soon follow. There is nothing more noble than to love, honor and care for a child. No higher calling than to be called to minister to children. Nothing touches more closely to the very heart of God than discipling children.
