Children are a gift from the Lord.
Psalm 127:3
We believe Jesus was serious in Mark 10 when he told his disciples, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” We want children to come to Jesus and experience a God who gave everything for them. This is how we align what we do with kids with our mission to help every person experience the redeeming, renewing, and restoring love of God through Jesus. There is no better way to live then in God’s presences. But how can they learn to love a God they don’t physically see? We learn how to love the people around us and live in community with the people we do see. God designed us to be in relationship with him and others, and developing one-develops the other. So we are going to create opportunities for kids to build community, learn to love those around them, and thus, learn how to come to Jesus.
