Children’s Ministry Team - Mission Statement

September 2005

The mission and ministry of children’s ministry at FUMC is to allow children and their parents to fellowship with one another and get to know each other as a church community.  To allow the children to experience the love of God in all that we do.

 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. (Matthew 28:19-20, NIV)

The two elements we need to focus on in children’s ministry are:

  1. Evangelism (Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit)
  2. Discipleship (teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you)

The Children’s Ministry Team will supplement the family in reaching kids (evangelism) and helping them become fully devoted followers of Christ (discipleship).

The elements of our ministry will make sure that we encompass the following principles in all our programs and events:

  1. We are a child-targeted ministry
  2. Lessons will be relevant to today's kids and the times
  3. We will teach the Bible creatively
  4. We will intentionally shepherd children through Small Groups and events
  5. We will keep children spiritually, emotionally, and physically safe
  6. Our ministry will be FUN!
