Children are a gift from God. One day as Jesus was ministering, mothers began to bring their children to Him to receive His blessing. The disciples tried to send them away, perhaps thinking they were bothering Jesus. His response is found in Matthew 19:14 “Let the little children come to Me and do not forbid them; for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” Earlier He taught His disciples, “Unless you are converted and become like little children you will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”
We at Lakeview Ministries value our children. We embrace our responsibility of training, teaching, mentoring, and inspiring them. We also believe that children are ministers in their own right and encourage them to pray for the sick and each other. Finally we look for ways to learn from them; from their faith and trust and love.
We enjoy having the children in our worship service and then sending them with gifted teachers to participate in our children’s church. A nursery is also available during the teaching time for those 4 and under.
