We are a community of believers which teaches and models how to follow
Christ. Our mission is to support parents who wish to lay down a
foundation that in time will lead a child into a personal relationship
with God through Jesus Christ. We aim to partner with parents in
communicating the greatness of God, the glory of Christ and the power of
the Gospel.
With that in mind we teach:
Our aim is to provide the best hour of every child's week; we pray that the impact of the ministry will last the other 167 hours!
With that in mind we teach:
- that the Bible is the word of God and the handbook for life
- who God is
- who we are in relation to Him and our state of separation from Him through our sin
- who Jesus is and what He has done for us
- how we can meet with God daily through readng His word and prayer
- the role of the Holy Spirit in equipping us to live for God
Our aim is to provide the best hour of every child's week; we pray that the impact of the ministry will last the other 167 hours!
