BEHOLD God...The gospel frees us to behold, worship, and exalt God. As participants in this ministry to children, we seek to put GOD before them. When we gather with the children we primarily want to exalt Him and treasure Him above all. We do this by teaching the Bible, praying, singing songs, and leading and loving the children like Christ. We believe the greatest gift and blessing we can offer to children is to give them more of God and help them behold Him more fully. (2 Corinthians 3:18)

BUILD UP The Body of Christ... As we are gathering and beholding God

together, He is moving, working, and building up the body of Christ. He then

graciously allows us to take part in this work with Him. Through our discipleship

pathway for our people, our primary avenue for building up the body is during our

City Group times when all of the spiritual gifts of believers are working together.

During our time with children on Sunday mornings, we hope to lead by example

on the importance of Christ’s church, and ultimately will pray that each child

becomes a disciple of Christ.

BLESS the City and World... We genuinely and generously love the city and

desire to seek its peace and prosperity (Jeremiah 29:7). We believe the ultimate

blessing to this city will be to proclaim the Good News that Jesus saves. We not

only want to proclaim God’s love to the city, but also show God’s love to the city

through good works. We are not saved by our good works but instead saved for

good works. The church should not be against the city or a refuge from the city,

but instead be a blessing to the city as Christ redeems, renews, and restores it.

We teach the children how they can bring the truth of the gospel to others they

come in contact with. (Matthew 28:18-20)
