We Believe- Children are a gift from God and should be handled with love and care.
- Children are important in the kingdom of God and Christ died to redeem them from their sin.
- Christ has called children to follow Him and children can be equipped to serve Christ and others.
- Children deserve a safe, positive, nurturing and age appropriate learning environment that is free of fear, pressure to "grow up", or prejudice.
- Ministry is not just "to" children but "with" children. We learn from children as we teach them.
- God has appointed parents as the primary instructors of their children, and the church's role is to assist in the cooperative effort of that task.
- Relational ministry is best served with adults who serve as positive role models to the child. Successful ministry is the shared responsibility of children, ministry staff, volunteers, parents and the church body.
