Get Involved: Children’s Ministries

Our vision at Family in Christ is to ignite children with a hunger for Jesus. Our teachers will inspire them through God's Word, help them grow spiritually, nurture them through God's love, instruct them through sound Biblical teachings, transform their lives forever and evangelize so these children can share with their peers and community. We will strive to see that our activity leaders and group leaders disciple the children with a passion for God's Word and a genuine love for the Lord.
