OUR PURPOSE:
"Helping Preschoolers and Children say YES to
Christ by showing them God's love, meeting family needs,
building relationships, and helping them discover God's
wonderful plan for their lives."
The Preschool and Children's Ministry of Ridgecrest
strives to:
1. Partner with all other ministries of the
church in reaching families for Christ, in all we do.
2. Give encouragement, training, and support
to parents, as they provide the primary spiritual nurturing of
their preschoolers and children.
3. Give volunteers and teachers the
opportunity to explore their gifts in working with preschoolers
and children while providing opportunities for them to sharpen
their skills and allowing them to experience the intrinsic and
extrinsic rewards for their service.
4. Create a fun, warm, safe, attractive, and
friendly atmosphere that welcomes preschoolers, children, and
their parents.
5. Creatively, effectively, and constantly
instill Biblical truth in preschoolers and children in
age-appropriate ways, partnering with parents in the spiritual
education and development of their preschoolers and children.
6. Provide programming--weekly, monthly, and
annual events, classes, and ministries--that helps preschoolers
and children grow to say YES to Christ in a relationship with
Him, helps them grow spiritually, provides opportunities to
build lasting relationships with others, and ensures that in
preschoolers' and children's lives, church plays a significant
part of a happy childhood.
