The Goals of Children's Ministries at UMC L
Empower
We believe children are a crucial part of bringing the Kingdom of God here on earth. Through our biblical teaching and spiritual formation, we aim to empower students to grow into who God has called them to be and to live out their faith boldly.
Equip
We believe it is essential to help children learn how to read and understand the Bible, as well as how to faithfully live as Christ-followers throughout their everyday lives at home, school and in their communities. We choose curriculum based off this belief and equip our Children's Ministry Leaders to help students see how the Bible connects to their lives and contexts in hands-on, practical ways.
Encourage
We believe the body of Christ is supposed to feel like family. No family is perfect, but we strive to make children feel like they belong in our church and in the global Church. We seek to encourage children in their faith, include them in the life of our church, and give children a community of people who are on their side as they go through all the highs and lows of life.
