Following Jesus is a BLAST!

Children's Ministries is committed to introducing children to Jesus Christ in a safe, welcoming, and loving environment. We believe that following Jesus is a BLAST! As a worker in BLAST, you are vital in making that happen. We supply curriculum that is God-centered and God honoring. You supply your spiritual gifts, passion, prayer, and preparation. As you depend upon God in your service, you have the opportunity to share Christ in such a way that each child may know Him as Savior and live to glorify God. In this way you come alongside parents, partnering with them in the discipleship of their children. What a tremendous privilege and high calling from God.

Do you remember what it was like when your child(ren) were little and you needed to be around other adults for awhile? If you are just beyond that stage or it's been many years since you've left it, you can understand the importance of a safe, loving environment in which to leave your child when attending  a program like Mom to Mom. We are looking for more women and men to provide that kind of environment. The 1st and 3rd Tuesday morning of each month from 9:00-11:30 am the Mom to Mom Children's Program supports young moms and their ability to meet with other moms for Biblical training and encouragement. If you might be interested in helping with the program or have questions about the needs, please contact Bev Steel at bevsteel@mefchurch.org. There is little if any preparation, just an availability to be used in the life of a child and mom.
