Family Ministry

Distinctives

We understand discipleship for children and students in our context as a partnership between parents and the church. To this end, our ministry to Families, Students, and Children operates with 7 Distinctives.
God-Centered

As in all things, we seek the glory of God first and primarily.

Striving for Gospel Growth

Our desire for God’s glory leads us to pursue a spiritually healthy culture that will yield gospel growth in people of all ages, including the youngest among us.

Cultivating a Healthy Love for God’s People

Because relationships are a foundation for effective ministry, we foster four important types of healthy relationships: parent-child, adult leader-child, child-child, and intergenerational between families.

Word-based Training

Students and kids learn to walk in obedience to God at home & at church by the work of the Spirit through direct biblical instruction and modeling.

Self-Sacrificial Posture

Students and kids learn to serve self-sacrificially in formal and informal ways through training and modeling.

Missional

Students and kids develop awareness of lostness, discover how to build relationships with unbelievers, and learn to share the gospel through training and modeling.

Family Partnership

While parents are lead disciplers for their children, the church serves as a partner to undergird, resource, support, and assist them.
