Our Future
The children’s ministry at GCF has a goal to be the premiere ministry of the church. The Westminster Catechism states, “The chief aim of man is to glorify God, and enjoy him forever.”
We couldn’t agree more, and these two truths are foundational to the children’s ministry. We seek to develop the spiritual senses of our children so that they can enjoy the depth and quality of relationship with God that Jesus went to the cross to obtain for us. Out of this intimate relationship with the Lord, we seek to develop both godly character and spiritual giftings, which bring glory to God. We serve a generational God – “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” – and so we are a generational church. We believe that “…out of the mouths of infants and babes you have ordained praise…” Our children are our future, and that is why we place a priority on their generation!
We have Sunday School, for kids aged 6-11, that meet in various classrooms on Sunday morning following the worship service. Children also meet on Wednesday night at the church from 7:00-9:00PM. On Wednesday nights, we offer a fun night consisting of fellowship, a worship time, and a biblical teaching followed by a fun excercise and discussion aimed to reinforce the teaching and help them grow in their understanding of the Bible and their relationship with God.
Nursery, for kids aged 0-5, is also available on Sunday Mornings and Wednesday Nights.
There are also annual opportunities to attend GMI children's events at Charis Canyon. Please visit the GMI events website for more details on the various events available.
