We believe that God passionately loves children. He has given parents and church a mission to nurture the young ones well in the Kingdom of God. Children are not only our future spiritual warriors but also church of today. They deserve our best attention, resources and effort. As a pastor, a church leader, a Sunday school teacher or a parent, we have to work together to provide the best environment for their spiritual growth and to share with them the love of God.
