Children's Ministry

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14

The Children's Ministry of Living Hope exists to come alongside the families of our church as they strive to raise their children in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.  
We believe that it is the Word of God alone that can give children "the wisdom that leads to salvation" (2 Tim. 3:15).  
All classes are designed to allow the children to learn the Word of God in an age-appropriate, interactive, and exciting environment.
We consider it a great privilege to serve and shepherd every child in our ministry.
