Kids' Programs

Your Child Matters to God

There is no greater gift from God than a child. Jesus underscored this conviction when the disciples tried to keep children at arms length and Jesus rebuked them saying, "let the children come to me, and do not stop them: for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs."
Luke 18:16 NRSV

At First Covenant Church we recognize the importance of children and welcome them to be part of our larger community of faith.

Our Mission:

We believe children are very important to God; we are dedicated to providing a ministry of excellence for them. It is our desire to communicate the love of God to them by:

• providing a safe, accepting environment where children feel loved and valued.
• being a partner with you in the Christian nurture of your daughter or son.
• reaching out to your child in God's love and teaching them truth.

We desire to see every child:

• Know that they are loved by God and Jesus and return that love.
• Think of the church as their extended family and find in it a primary peer group and positive role models.
• GROW in Bible knowledge and in the application of that knowledge to develop Christian values and a Christian lifestyle.
• Participate in meaningful worship, prayer and study to build and GROW in their relationship with God.
• Mature with a positive self image and an appreciation for God's gifts to His children.
• Desire to be and become a responsible steward of their life and to make serving and sharing a natural part of life.

Safeguarding Our Children

We have adopted a Child Protection Policy for preventing the possibility of child abuse within our programs. Teachers, helpers, childcare and youth workers all undergo a thorough screening process before becoming a part of the staff, including background and reference checks.
