Let Every Child Hear the Name of Jesus
You are invited to attend the monthly small group which is targeted at supporting and growing skills in how to share the gospel with children. We will be looking at how to:
- Prepare for lessons
- Create breaks in your lessons to maximize the retention of children and material
- Show a model of new creation and seek the lost sheep
- Most important of all we will learn how to have an attitude of sharing Christ in all interactions so that all children will hear the name of Jesus.
The mission for this group and I would argue for all groups is to Glorify God. Everything you do, no matter what, work, family, hobbies, or anything is to glorify God. From creation to eternity, it all points to God and his steadfast love that endures forever.
(Genesis 1:31, Psalm 136, Psalm 148, Ephesians 1:10, Colosians 3:17; 23)
The vision for this group is to:
Let Every Child Hear the Name of Jesus in Castle Rock, In Colorado, and To the Ends of the Earth.
Book
Rock-Solid Children's Ministry: Biblical Principles that Will Transform Your Ministry
In children's ministry, the essence of what we do is to impact the immeasurable, the heart of a child.
While Bible knowledge is highly valuable in this endeavor, knowing Scripture does not automatically translate to changing the heart of a child. Practical application is also desirable, but changing behavior can be done without a heart change. Relating Scripture in such a way that it meets a child where he or she is at is critical, but as an approach, it may fail to build a solid enough foundation to equip children for the challenges that they will face later in life. All three approaches must be synergized to have a greater impact, and all three must be retargeted at the "bull's eye"--the heart of a child. Read this book to discover the seven standards of a rock-solid children's ministry!
