LRPC Children’s Ministry Mission Statement
LRPC Children’s Ministry exists to glorify God and help the entire body of Christ to assist families in raising their children to be lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ, so the next generation will know, believe, and tell of “the glorious deeds of the Lord” and “set their hope in God” (Psalm 78:4, 7).
LRPC Children’s Ministry
Our Goals
-
Salvation
Trust God to fulfill His covenant promise to save His children, helping children understand the work of the Holy Spirit to change hearts leading to salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone (Eph. 2:8); not only understanding that Jesus is Savior, but that Jesus is Lord and requires obedience as children grow into Godly young men and women demonstrating the fruit that comes with salvation (John 15:8)
-
Biblical Literacy
Train and equip children in Biblical literacy and Reformed Theology with the goal of delighting in God’s inerrant Word (Psalm 1)
-
Pray
Help children understand their need to depend on God for all things and pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5: 17)
-
Body of Christ
Value children as part of the Body of Christ by assisting them in participating in corporate worship, service, and fellowship (1 Cor. 12: 27)
-
Service
Encourage children to become cheerful givers of all their resources (2 Cor. 9), engaging in service to the church and the world as they spread the Gospel in word and deed
-
Worship
Foster personal and communal lifelong worship and communion with the triune God, through offerings of praise and gratitude for His holiness, grace, love, justice, and mercy (Col 3:16-17)
-
Sanctification
Support children in the process of sanctification as they run the race set before them (Heb. 12:1) with hearts that yearn for more of Him and less of themselves as they grow in Christ-likeness and find their ultimate worth in Him alone (Gal 2: 20)
