The mission statement of Metro Life Church reminds us that we are a community bent on reflecting the glory of God by loving Jesus, growing to be more like Him, and sharing what He’s done for us. When we think of the church, we often focus on the adults, but our children are just as much a part of this local body as we adults are, and therein lies the challenge. How do we, as a church come along side of parents to teach and equip those precious souls so that they grow to love Jesus, to be like Him, and to share His faithfulness to them?
Well, MLC Children’s Ministry—Truth Quest— needs YOU! We have so many exciting plans for the future of Truth Quest, and all we need to see these ideas unfold into reality is faithful parents and volunteers with passion to love and serve these kiddos! Our goal is to build a dynamic, engaging program which attracts our children. Imagine kids begging Mom and Dad to let them go to Truth Quest on Sundays! Imagine children singing and worshipping together, learning about their savior, and growing in His likeness! Now, imagine yourself filling a role. Are you a gifted teacher? A skilled worship leader? Administrator? Perhaps you could help with check in/check out each week or assist a lead teacher?
Frederick Douglass, the famous abolitionist and statesman once noted, "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” Well, we know our God is in the business of repairing broken men, women, and children, but we can never underestimate the dividends of the Word of God in the lives of our children. Won’t you consider how you might serve and help us build a strong foundation for the next generation of Metro Life Church?
