In our children's ministry, we believe in far more than just babysitting the children so their parents can go to church. We believe they are able to learn the truths of the Bible in developmentally appropriate ways, and so we are committed to providing instruction that is meaningful, rich, and engaging.
We also know that children need to move, they need to be holistically engaged--so, all parts of them should be employed in the learning process. Typical lessons will have a theme and a story. There will be object lessons and crafts or activities. Children we be encouraged to think and discuss about the lesson of the day through activating their curiosity through discovery questions.
Our goal would be to have the children leave joyful and having been taught something meaningful from God's Word, with an invitation to apply it appropriately in their lives.
