"Dedicate your children to God and point them in the way that they should go, and the values they've learned from you will be with them for life."
Proverbs 22:6, TPT
The purpose of J-Town Children's Ministry is to support families and children into a growing, connecting and authentic relationship with Jesus. Through Spirit filled biblical truths, we desire to see children so moved by the power and presence of God that it sets the foundation for which they will build their lives. We are fully persuaded that if you culture an atmosphere where God's presence and glory are present, children will not only have an encounter with Holy Spirit, but a lifelong personal relationship with Jesus,
Laying the foundations for a lifelong personal relationship with Jesus.

Level Up - Kids Prayer & Discipleship
We believe the foundation in our growing relationship with God is based on the principle of prayer. Each
Sunday morning 9:00am , children are given an atmosphere to seek the face of God. We give time for personal
reflection & repentance, then come together to pray over individual requests, and for our communities,
schools, and our nation. We then lead into a time of discipleship on a focused topic.

Our Commitment.
It is our desire to serve the needs of you and your child as we would serve Christ. Our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment so that each child will feel happy and loved.
Our team has a passion to impart the Word of God in a fun, loving, inviting and exciting way with a concentrated effort to reach and change the lives of every child we encounter. Each week your children will engage in hands-on ministry with the Gospel presented and demonstrated through powerful worship, engaging teachings, object lessons, small groups, games and so much more. We intentionally bring Jesus into every aspect of our service and purposefully set an atmosphere for His Presence. We are dedicated to teaching biblical truths and providing spiritual foundation necessary for all children to accept Christ. We understand the importance in partnering with you to help them encounter Holy Spirit, trust God's Word, understand their value in Christ and develop a personal relationship with Jesus.
