Welcome
to ACN Children's Ministries!
Throughout Jesus' earthly ministry, He took the time to minister
to kids.
Our
purpose is to make Chirstlike Disciples in the Nations - starting
with our children. Our mission is to lead children and their
families on their journey of faith; helping them know Jesus,
love Jesus, and share Jesus.
We believe
in having fun, being safe, being creative, being relevant,
being Bible-based, building life-long friendships, helping
others build strong family units, and reaching out to the
community.
We hope
you will join us on this journey and become part of our family! |
