Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
It is our prayer and that desire that, in God’s timing and with the Holy Spirit’s guidance, all children who attend Encounter Church will: come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ; continue to grow in their relationship with God; and become fully devoted followers of Christ.
Mission
Encounter Children’s Ministry exists to assist the family in building a spiritual foundation that will lead a child to grow in the grace and knowledge of God.
Values
We value God’s Word and reinforce it in the hearts of children by providing solid Bible teaching at age-appropriate levels.
Each child is a gift from god and we value all children for who they are and who God created them to be.
We protect the children with an uncompromising safety process so that children can learn in a fun, exciting, safe, loving and nurturing environment.
We affirm, honor and value others through honest, direct and respectful communication.
We invest in others through relationships, by praying and encouraging one another.
We invest in our leaders by providing opportunities for leadership and spiritual growth.
