Welcome to Children’s Ministries!

There is nothing like seeing…

…a child’s eyes light up and sparkle as they discover the love of Jesus.

…a preteen realize that they can be used by God and be a vessel for Him to work through each and everyday.

…foundations of Faith being built in young hearts.

…families grow closer to God together.

…kids learn to pray as they discover it is simply having a conversation with God.

For all these reasons and more, I LOVE being a children’s pastor.  What a privilege it is to come alongside families, build relationships and GROW together on our journey with Jesus.

I believe it is important for kids to experience having the Bible come to life!  It IS relevant to their everyday lives…  We seek to provide opportunities for kids to connect with God, get excited about Him, passionately worship and serve our Lord and Savior with all of their hearts.

I invite you to look around our children’s ministry section of our website…  Find out what we believe in children’s ministries, what we are striving for and ways to get involved and come join us!

I’d love to talk with you further about opportunities for your child and family at Shepherd.  My “door” is always open.  Please feel free to contact me through e-mail or by calling the church office.

One of His Kids, Too,
