Loving Jesus
The message and teachings of Jesus stress the concept of a spirituality founded not within an individual but within the larger Kingdom of God. Like the proverbial stone’s ripple as it is thrown into a body of water, our lives and our actions as followers of Christ stretch out into the larger world community. SRPC Kids continues to foster within our children the ethos of our own community to love Jesus, love other and love our world.
Loving each other: Reinforcing the believe that each of us are created as unique individuals possessing the image of God within, SRPC Kids holds to a foundational belief that all children are respected for the uniqueness they possess. This respect for the child translates into creating an environment where children’s needs are embraced.
To the extent possible, children’s physical, developmental and emotional needs are incorporated into the regular classroom setting. Ministry staff is provided resources needed to incorporate the child into their community.
Children are provided opportunity to respect individuals and encouraged to support and develop friendships.
Loving Jesus: As an understanding of living out the message of the gospel in our daily lives grows, children come to develop a sensitivity to how they also can influence and effect positive change in the lives of their families, peers and their culture.
Loving the world: Creating opportunities for Children’s Ministry to directly impact the community around them through projects such as Blue Star Moms, projects that impact inner city ministries such as City Impact and City Team Oakland.
