Childrens Ministry

Childrens Ministry is an important activity, which teaches our children the Bible and prepares them to become strong Christians and witnesses to the world. The Childrens ministry environment is kept clean, safe and with lots of fun to make the learning easy.

• Cleanliness: A clean environment around children is not only healthy but inviting. We should also be considerate of our landlord. Guidelines: Clean up after activities. Secure doors and windows before leaving. Dispose of trash after activities.
  
  
• Safety: Children should be sitting with their parents or other adults during worship time. The food served should be safe to eat. There are legal, financial and insurance risks to the church if this area is not taken care of. Guidelines: Check with parents regarding food allergies and forbidden foods. At least 2 adults should be working with kids at all times. Keep hot foods hot (keep in oven or crock pots), cold foods cold (keep refrigerated). Dispose off leftovers.
  
  
• Fun Environment: The teaching material should be prepared before the kids arrive. Classes are preplanned and helpers are prepared well in advance. Timely start and timely finish are essential. Guidelines: Use sign-up sheets. Create easy and healthy menus. Introduce creativity and fun into all activities. Follow up with volunteers. No cell phones, video games or electronic gadgets are allowed during the class. They may be used after the class.
  
  
• The Childrens Ministry Team Leader plans, organizes and executes children activities on Sundays and other events with the help of ministry helpers, under the guidance of the Launch Team Leader. He/she also manages the Children?s Ministry budget, purchases supplies and is responsible for the property and items purchased by the team. He/she also recruits volunteers in advance, manages schedules and distributes the workload. The Children?s Ministry Team Leader welcomes new members to the church, engages them and helps foster bonding with the other members of the church, while maintaining a pleasant disposition. He/she uses creativity to solve problems and to come up with new ideas to make this ministry an asset to the expansion of His kingdom.

But Jesus called for them, saying, Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I say unto you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all. Luke 18: 16 - 17.
