Mission

Sharing Christ so each child may know Him as Savior and live a life to glorify God.

Purpose

Core Values

  • Worship - Responding
    Children would bring honor and glory to God through lifestyles and expressions that are God-focused and biblically-based
  • Community - Loving
    We would be a safe place of belonging where children are known, loved, cared for and encouraged in their spiritual journey.
  • Discipleship - Growing
    We would build up and strengthen believers in the likeness of Christ.
  • Mobilization - Serving
    We would see individual believers based on their unique design, serving the LORD where He directs
  • Outreach - Sharing
    We would reach out with the love, grace and truth of Christ to mid-Michigan and the world.
