The Heart For Children's Ministry


The Heart For Children’s Ministry


Teaching children about Jesus is

one of the greatest callings a person can answer.
For many of those who have not heard,
we will have the unique privilege of introducing them
to Jesus for the first time.


For others, we will have the opportunity to train,
lead by sharing God’s Word and living God's word
and giving understanding that they
may mature in their Christian walk.

There is a cost, as in any calling

and James warns us that we
will be held accountable
for what we teach.
But, the rewards are many!

Statistics show that the largest percent

of people saved (80% or more)
were brought to Jesus under the age of 12 years.
How important it is today to reach our children early,
so that they will know the truth
and the truth shall set them free …
free from the grasp of sin.

As teachers, you are actually

investing in the lifetime of a child.
Their early experiences of who
the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are,
will so change their lives and their perspective on life
that they will in turn touch others for the Kingdom.

“Where children are treasured & trained,
and the Teachers are heroes!”
