The entire family of man is dear to God’s heart. Even so, our Lord points to children in Matthew 19:14 (NIV) with this wisdom for parents:
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Therefore, because children are members of the kingdom of heaven, part of the call on a parent’s life is to make children ready for kingdom living by following Proverbs 22:6 (KJV) which advises: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
We assist parents in this calling through our Children’s Outdoor Ministry (ages 0-12 years), Youth Ministry (ages 13-19 years) and Young Adult Ministry (ages 20-35 including couples).
