We seek to introduce our children to the infinite, holy God of the Bible and to His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. We long to build faith in God in the hearts of our children and to help them grow in their relationship with Him to bring them to the point where they are ready to commit their lives to him and be baptized. We model the love and holiness of God in our own lives as we teach them about Him, and through loving discipline we seek to build respect for God and others.
Parents are the #1 faith-developers, so involve them in what their children are learning. Involve parents Help parents Hold parents accountable.
