When you ask someone what they think about the church, be prepared for any response. What they say may inspire feelings of anger, sadness, joy, or hope, depending on what they have experienced in their interactions with believers. This four-week series for children explores four congregational values that should define our relationships with those inside and outside the church. When we fulfill our biblical call to the four c’s—commission, community, commandment, collaboration—we can be the church that glorifies Jesus.

The Words Of Jesus
September – October 5 Weeks

The Words Of Jesus

In this five-week children’s series we will look at the ways people misunderstood the things Jesus was doing. Often, people thought that Jesus was doing something wrong and pointed it out; but he always had an explanation. He wanted others to understand who he is, the things he believes are important, and the real reason he was on earth. He didn’t want them to be confused about his character and purpose.

Learning From The Prophets
October 4 Weeks

Learning From The Prophets

The Minor Prophets weren’t exactly known for their cheery messages. These short Old Testament books are a faithfully delivered call to repentance to Israel and to the nations. Their call to abandon worshipping idols, embrace God’s heart of mercy, rejoice in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and anticipate God’s coming judgment and kingdom still resonate in our world today. Each week in this series, we’ll examine one passage from one of the Minor Prophets that helps us understand what that prophet was talking about.

Content In Christ

Content In Christ

Being content means being peaceful and happy with the way things are. Being content with what one has and being generous toward others can make someone stand out. And it’s what God calls us to as Christians. This three-week children’s series looks at Philippians 4 to learn how generosity and contentment work together and to understand that, because of Jesus, we can be content no matter what is happening in our lives.
