Children’s Ministry Mission Statement

Acknowledging our call to ministry with children, we work:

To nurture children in the faith,
To strengthen their ties with the household of God,
To share the heritage of the Christian faith and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A),
To involve and support parents in the Christian education of their children,
To be living examples of the Christian faith.

Understanding that children, too, are called to ministry, we work to provide opportunities for children:

To develop community with one another,
To use their talents for ministry to the congregation,
To be involved in service and mission to the global community,
To share and be joyful about their learnings and their faith.
