Children

From Our Family to Yours…

Children are important to God and to Park Hill Baptist Church. Our desire is to partner with parents to lay foundations of faith for families. Every child needs to hear God's word and know of God's love, no matter how young or how old they are.

Here are the five main goals we are striving toward:

• We want to teach children to worship God with all that they are-it's what we were made to do.
• We want them to experience true Christian fellowship and know what it means to be part of the family of God.
• We want them to grow in their knowledge and understanding of who God is and who He wants to be in their lives.
• We want children to learn that serving God means serving others.
• We want them to know that they can share God's love with others through what they say and do.
• We are excited about what God is doing and how He is leading.

Please feel free to contact us if you have questions, would like more information, or have a prayer request to share. We would love to hear from you!

ONGOING MINISTRIES OF PARK HILL KIDS:


Sunday School

Children's Sunday School is more than an hour of Bible study at church. It's the foundation to support a child's life. It's about beginnings-starting to recognize the Bible as more than just a book carried to church. It's learning to respond to others with attitudes and actions of love and respect. It's discovering a conscience-knowing what's right and wrong based on what the Bible says. It is believing that when you pray, God is always listening. Most importantly, it's about learning to love others because God first loved us.

Missions

We believe it is important for children to learn to put their faith in action. Preschoolers learn about missionaries and serving God through Mission Friend classes.  For elementary students we have Royal Ambassadors for boys and Girls in Action for girls.
