Children’s Ministry
Sunday school has always had a clear and powerful role in the church over the years. A need for a bigger service called “children’s ministry” arose due to the growth of service and spiritual work in the church. Children’s ministry serves children from the first three years of age and until the end of sixth grade.
Mission:
"through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger." - psalm 8:2
children’s ministry seeks to disciple and to prepare a generation of children ready to have a testimony and personal knowledge of the lord, and witness the leadership of the holy spirit in order to be able to preach the gospel of christ.
Children’s ministry also works on serving the family as a whole through, "know your child" ministries which aim at increasing the connection between the church and the home as well as spreading awareness of spiritual and psychological upbringing of children.
