Children's Ministry

"I HAVE NO GREATER JOY THAN TO HEAR THAT MY CHILDREN ARE WALKING IN THE TRUTH."
3 John 1:4

JESUS SAID, "LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME TO ME..."  

Matthew 19:14

We, at The River Church, are committed to love and respect each child.  All who attend will learn of God's love through foundational Biblical truths, so that in the future, they will come to know Christ as their Savior.  Children's Church is designed for children to learn a Biblical message that is simple for them to understand while their parents are free to focus on the message.  Children spend the majority of the Worship service with their parents so that they can learn how to worship God in a corporate setting. Children are called to the front where the Pastor will share a children's message before they are dismissed to their classrooms.  All Children's Ministry Volunteers have been through Ministry Safe Training and passed 3 levels of background checks.  Parents can rest assured that their children are safe with us!

Ministry Safe 

Sexual Abuse Awareness Training forms the foundation of the Safety System, because we cannot address a risk we do not understand.  At the core of an effective Safety System is this reality: what we believe shapes what we DO.  Awareness Training changes what we believe: Prevention starts with awareness.
This Training equips staff members and volunteers with a better understanding of abuser characteristics, the abuser’s grooming process and common grooming behaviors.  Awareness Training equips ministry workers with ‘eyes to see’ such that they might recognize abuser characteristics and behaviors.
