Our Mission and Purpose: 
To Both Parent and Child (the family)

1.      To see salvation take place in their lives.

”God wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Tim. 2:3

2.      To teach the unadulterated, unfiltered Word of God with confidence, hope, love, and respect.


We have been called to teach:

“Until all come to the unity of the faith, until all come the knowledge of God, to be perfect and mature to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” Eph 4:13

“Whosoever does and teaches the commandments of the Lord, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:19

3.      To create a ministry place and brand that is trained on the senses of children with unimaginable thrills, sensations, and a sense of belonging.

4.      To minister to the heart, the soul, the mind, and the body from a spiritual and biblical perspective.

These four areas are the Core areas of Human Development.  By focusing our efforts on these Core areas, then and only then can we fully minister to the child as we have been called to do.

“You shall teach the words of the Lord to our children, speaking of them when we sit in the house, when we walk by the way, when we lie down, and when we rise up.” Deut. 11:19

5.      To help them find their purpose in the body of Christ.


Meaning and purpose in life are developed through a spiritual understanding of the first and second greatest commandment.

General Mission – “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” Mark 12:30
(this is why God put us on the earth)

Unique Mission – “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Mark 12:31 
(this is how we can add value to the Kingdom of God)

Also, as stated in Ephesians as teachers, it is our job to:

“Equip the saints, for the work of ministry, for the edifying and building up of the body of Christ.” Eph. 4:12

6.      To teach them the fundamentals of a strong spiritual foundation and biblical perspective for life.


We make decisions and choices that are consistent with our perspective.  Therefore, it’s important for us to enable them to think biblically, comprehensively, insightfully, and practically in regard to any moral, ethical, relational, financial, political, or spiritual situation in which they find themselves.  Here are the four fundamentals:

A.  Relationship with God
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” Mark 12:30


B.  Knowledge of Biblical Content

“do not forget the law of God, but let your heart keep its commands; for length of days, long life, and peace they will add to you.” Prov. 3:1-2


C.  Application of Biblical Principles

“Train up a child in the way that he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Prov. 22:6

“Blessed is the man who delights in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates by talking to himself day and night.” Psalms 1:1-2


D.  A Call to Obedience

“Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:16

7.      To teach them to go and preach the gospel through the power of the Holy Spirit. 

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19-20
