KIDS MINISTRY AT LEFC

INFANTS - 4th Grade

Children are important to God, and children are important to us! Children are a vital part of our church family. We consider it a privilege to serve God by partnering with parents on this discipleship journey. We want your children to have great experiences here learning God's Word, building relationships with friends and Shepherds, and in time, associate these great experiences with who God is. There's nothing better than investing in children and seeing God at work in their hearts and minds as they develop an unshakable, personal faith and hope in God.

Our Sunday morning classes for infants through 4th grade are intentionally designed to be a safe place for children to actively learn and explore God's Word, and where children are loved and inspired by Shepherds who model what it's like to have a personal, everyday relationship with Jesus!

OUR MISSION AND VALUES

The mission of LEFC is to make disciples of Jesus Christ. We do this by sharing Christ in our relational worlds and pouring into the lives of others. We seek to be people who love God, love people, live truth, and proclaim Jesus. In our ministry with kids here at LEFC, we have the same mission.

As we strive towards making disciples of Jesus Christ in Kids Ministry, we place a high value on:

  • God’s Word. We want children to understand the narrative of Scripture as one big story of God’s plan for redemption.
  • Creating space for children to encounter God; practicing the disciplines of our faith that go along with learning and internalizing God’s Word.
  • Conversations and relationships with the children.
  • Children as a vital part of our church family. Our ministry with children cannot exist in isolation—it is in the context of the family of God, our church family!
  • Safety in our ministry with kids.
  • Children being involved with their families in sharing the gospel of Jesus where they live, work and play. Children being involved with global partners and their families and developing a heart like God’s for the people around the world!
  • Every person on our team as they use their gifts, experiences, and passions to serve in ministry with kids; and we value teamwork as we serve together to honor God, build His kingdom, and make disciples.
  • Our partnership with parents and families as we invest in the discipleship journey with children.

AGE GROUPS

LEFC Kids Ministry is for children 2 months old through 4th grade and is divided into four primary age groups. Each age group is purposefully designed with age-specific activities and lessons that help us partner with families to help children know, love, and follow Jesus.
