A note from:
Carolyn Clifton - Minister to Children & Families

 

Dear Parents,

What a joy and privilege to have your child in our children's department! We are proud of our children's department and of the loving teachers who faithfully serve. It's our desire to link parents and teachers together to provide the strongest possible Christian influence for our children.

No matter what is happening in our world, we must remain focused in our children's ministry. That focus must be to reach boys and girls with the gospel of Christ, loving them with unconditional love, and guiding the church to provide programs and leaders that will make a difference in the lives of children and their families. We will support and encourage parents as they seek to provide a complete and meaningful home environment.

If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to call or come by.

In His Service,
Carolyn Clifton
Minister to Children and Families

    Help them develop good Worship habits like regular attendence, listening to the Pastor, sitting quietly, praying and singing praises to the Lord.
    The Children fill out Worship pages at the morning service and at the close of the service they are given a reward for their efforts. No one teaches a child better than his or her parents by example. This program not only helps give guidance through Worship services, but also allows children to observe their parents in Worship.
