We call our children's ministry Sonshine not only for the bright and happy smiles that they wear, (and share), but also for the fact that they are also little lights in a dark world. Our children are precious, and are in fact, like our youth ministry students, the future of Christ's church.
We strive to teach servanthood, a love for Jesus, trust in God and fundamental lessons from the Holy Bible to allow our children to grow in Christ.
Think that the little ones are too young to be effective in God's Kindom? Let's review:
* Josiah was 8 years old when he became the king of Judah who would bring the Jews back into fellowship and obedience with God. - 2 Kings 22:1
* Samuel was 6 years old when God called him as a prophet to tell of the coming judgement of Eli the preist and his two evil sons, who had defiled the temple and the sacrifices of God's people. - 1 Samuel 3:4
And let's not forget what Jesus Himself had to say about the children:
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
