Our childrens work vision is: To love. To Teach. To Reach.
To Love:
We are committed to sharing and showing the love of Jesus with children. We want to see children’s lives changed as we give them opportunity to experience the power and presence of the love of Christ.
Within our Church we want to provide a safe and loving environment where each child has a sense of belonging within our Church family. We recognise the importance of our children and seek to encourage, value and build strong relations with them.
To Teach:
In Scripture we read of the importance of teaching and training the next generation (Ps 78, Prov 22:6, Dt 6). As a Church we want to support parents in their responsibility to train their children in the ways of the Lord and in doing so raise a generation that would put their confidence in Christ. We want to be a Church that is ready to teach and equip in an age-appropriate, fun and relevant way so that they may know God better.
It is in our heart to support and encourage our children to move on in God. We recognise the potential and high calling God has placed on each individual and hope to see this nurtured and released in gifting, service and lifestyle.
To Reach:
Our commission is to ‘Go and make disciples of all nations’ (Mt28:18) and within our children’s work we want to share the love of Jesus with the children of our city. We want to encourage our kids to be outward focused, to bring their friends in but also we want to be actively involved in reaching out to children in our community and provide opportunity for the gospel to be heard and seen amongst children.
