Why we do this work
The Love of Children program is rooted in our deep appreciation for Jesus urging his disciples and onlookers to let the little children come to him. Protocol and barriers were removed so that the youngest in the crowd would be able to see and experience Christ for themselves. We want to model for others that embodied belief-that ALL are welcome. And so we are working to create a network of support for children, caregivers and ministry leaders that equip all to center children in their midst so they can see Christ and God at work in the church and the world. We want to nurture a generation of disciples to be deeply rooted in their faith, clear in their commitment to Jesus and change the world and Church for the better.
