KidsOwn Worship
In September, Children’s Church will combine a new format and more kids for more fun! During the 10:30 Worship Service each Sunday morning, children in preschool up to 3rd grades are welcome to join us for a large group worship, followed by small group experiences. Worshiping God with kid-style songs, games and Bible stories makes Sunday morning one of the best times of the week. It’s a Sunday morning worship service just for kids!
(Bible Learning and Spiritual Training)
Wednesdays at 6 p.m., after the Family Meal.
For preschool through 5th grade
Dear Children and Parents,
You may have already read our Children’s Ministry vision statement. Please check it out again to remind you as well as to keep us accountable.
Thanks again for your enthusiastic participation and support!
Esther Julian
Concord United Methodist Church Children’s Ministry
The mission:
to prepare children for a personal relationship with Jesus and nurture their growth* as Christ-centered persons.
We make this statement with the belief that God has instructed parents to provide spiritual leadership and training at home. We value the family’s responsibility and hope to support what is already being taught and modeled at home.
*Indicators of Spiritual Growth – The Five Gs:
GRACE (Romans 3:23-24)
Every kid should understand that all of us need God’s forgiveness and love, have the opportunity to accept God’s gift, and discover how to share this gift with others.
GROWTH (Colossians 2:6-7)
Kids’ faith should cause them to become like Jesus from the inside out, with this change evident to others.
GATHERING (Acts 2:46-47)
Spiritual growth takes place in times of fellowship in a community of love. (Kids feel valued and can learn and grow within the safety of their church family.)
GIFTS (I Corinthians 12)
God gives all Christians spiritual gifts/talents that they are to use in the work of a local body of believers. Kids can see gifts modeled and opportunities to help explore their giftings.
GOOD STEWARDSHIP (Malachi 3:10; Mark 12:41-44)
Everything we have belongs to God. Kids can learn they have resources they can use in ministry to God and can learn to give generously.
