VARIOUS ADMINISTRATIVE OPPORTUNITIES- copying, cards, crafts
Family Involvement is a key ingredient when creating a loving, safe and nurturing environment for children at church. When the parent/guardian is involved in a young child’s church experience, the child feels more secure about being at church because they completely trust and sense their families’ love and approval of God’s Special house. Without every parents’/guardian’s assistance, it is next to impossible to provide effective Christ-Centered Ministry in a peaceful, caring atmosphere where young children will be able to confidently flourish and grow in the Lord.
Our Adventure Bay Preschool Ministry Team count it a privilege to partner with you, as we strive to eternally impact young lives for Christ. As we team together, the little children will experience God’s incredible love for them like never before. Please understand that other than your influence at home, one of the main ways small children learn about God’s amazing love for them is through the loving care they receive from their parents and other nurturing adults at church.
Complete the form to get involved in your child’s church experience today. As your child grows older, you will never regret investing the time requires to effectively lead them into a strong, solid relationship with Jesus Christ. Your combined efforts at home and church will strengthen your child’s spiritual foundation in a powerful way. Be assured that your family’s future blessings will far outweigh any sacrifice you currently make.
