Children's Ministry

ICOC children ministry desires to create a nurturing environment that demonstrates sensitivity for children. As they learn basic Christian concepts from the Old and New Testaments, the children learn how to apply these teachings daily. The department shares the love of God through Jesus Christ with the children as it provides places where they can begin to feel a part of the church community. This way, the children can experience the church as a happy, caring place where they are loved and accepted. The department endeavors to share the good news of the gospel with the kids, and to help them know and follow Christ, and to strengthen their family ties with the household of God. Ultimately the ministry's desire is to reach children and their families with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to minister to them as they grow in their relationship with Christ. In addition the department makes sure that each child is surrounded by God's love through caring adults. Through a rich offering of organized programs all year long, the department strives to share God's grace, joy, and love in a meaningful way.
