Vision and Purpose

What is more important in life than to know and feel Jesus Christ in your heart and soul? The goal of St. Paul’s Children’s Ministries is to give our children a foundation that will be with them throughout their lives. Our goal is to immerse the children at St. Paul’s in God’s Word — what better gift can we give them as parents and teachers than this?

Mission Statement

The “what”

To come alongside the family in their attempt to build a spiritual foundation, that in God’s timing, will lead a child to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ.

Value Statement

The “why”

1. We believe each and every child is a gift from God
2. We believe God placed each child in a family and our Children’s Ministry should support the parents efforts in spiritual training
3. We believe the Bible is God’s Word and should be taught and applied in a manner that is relevant to the child
4. We believe authentic Biblical community is to be modeled and emulated by staff and children
5. We believe Children’s Ministry should be fun, safe, creative, and implemented with excellence
