Children matter to God. All children are special to God and need to be accepted and loved at all times. Jesus set the example, and we are clearly called to model and communicate God's love to them.

Children need a Biblical foundation. Entering into a relationship with Jesus Christ is a process-oriented experience. We want to lay a spiritual foundation of understanding so that when the Holy Spirit begins to move in the heart of a child, he or she will be prepared to make an informed decision about accepting Jesus Christ as personal Savior.

Children need loving relationships. We want children to build meaningful relationships with their peers and the adults around them so that spiritual information is communicated in a loving and caring way.

Children need age-appropriate application. We are dedicated to presenting the message of Jesus Christ in relevant, age-specific ways so that the principles of God's Word can be applied to their daily lives.

Children need creativity and fun. God created children with creative imaginations, a variety of learning styles and a desire to have fun. We want to present the truth of God's Word through methods that are consistent with how children are created to think and learn.
