God doesn’t come and go. God lasts.
He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine.-Isaiah 40:28 (The Message Translation)
Here at Holt FMC, we value the role children can play in the life of the church family. Our heart is to have a multi-generational church, where our kids programming is vital, but supplementary to the way that they see, hear, and experience God in the testimony of the adult believers of our church. Our children are not just a blur of faces that run down the aisle to kids church or numbers in a nursery- they are called by name and our community desires to know them and be their traveling companions on the road of life.
At our church, we value the God given ability of our children to create, to imagine, and to play as a way of coming to understand their self-worth as a special part of what He has made. Our God is the big and awesome Creator of all things!
We do not want to simply instruct and give children answers, we want them to think about the vastness of all things and learn to ask the big questions. We want them to learn from active encounters with the living faith and testimony of those who can be their wise guides and faithful examples on the Christian journey.
Our kids play an active role in our Sunday morning worship service, but are still dismissed for age-appropriate instruction during the sermon portion of our time together. We also have occasional midweek events with an intergenerational emphasis.
