Connecting A New Generation-home

Today’s children face many societal influences that draw them away from God and His love. To counteract these, boys and girls need a variety of nurturing experiences provided by caring adults at church. Children’s spiritual needs include regular Bible study that focuses on life application, worship, Christian fellowship, and evangelism. They need these experiences on Sunday, through the week, and during the summer. Children’s Ministries exists to resource, train, and support districts and local churches as they minister to children.

With this in mind, the Board of General Superintendents of the Church of the Nazarene calls the Church to a decade of emphasis on children and youth – Connecting a New Generation. January 2002 through January 2012 has been designated to be a decade for assessing the needs and issues facing children and youth, creating ministries that will meet the needs of children and youth, supporting and nurturing the family unit, and integrating children and youth into the faith community.

The vision that fuels our work in Children’s Ministries grows out of Jesus’ words in Mark 10:14 “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” In the midst of a consuming ministry to adults, Jesus regularly ministered to children. We believe the future of the church depends on effective ministry to children today.
