Nurturing the Next Generation in Faith and Love
Building a Strong Spiritual Foundation for Our Children
Welcome to the Kids Ministry!
At the House of God Church, our Kids Ministry is dedicated to guiding children on a journey of faith, teaching them about God's love, and helping them build a strong biblical foundation. We believe that every child is a precious gift from God, and it is our mission to nurture their spiritual growth through engaging lessons, worship, and community.
Our Purpose is to proclaim who God is and what He's done- to the next generation.
Our vision is to instill a firm knowledge of God's Word, communicate the Gospel in both word and deed, and encourage children to embrace Christ through worship and service. We aim to support parents in the Christian upbringing of their children.
Programs and Activities

Parent Involvement
Great stories have a personality. Consider telling a great story that provides personality. Writing a story with personality for potential clients will assist with making a relationship connection. This shows up in small quirks like word choices or phrases. Write from your point of view, not from someone else's experience.
Great stories are for everyone even when only written for just one person. If you try to write with a wide, general audience in mind, your story will sound fake and lack emotion. No one will be interested. Write for one person. If it’s genuine for the one, it’s genuine for the rest.
Teachers & Volunteers Responsibilities
Know your material well. Know your format in advance. (i.e. what you're doing first, second, third . . . and approximately how long each activity should take.) Have your supplies and copies made before class.
Be in your class at least 20 minutes prior to service to prepare classroom and receive early arrivals.
Chairs pushed in, use carpet sweeper if necessary, throw away extra papers. Erase white-boards, each desk if necessary. (Tip: Have the children help, they need to be taught accountability too! And they love to help the teacher!)
Contact the Children's Ministry Coordinator as soon as possible if you are unable to teach due to sickness, personal commitment, etc. He will give you a list of current substitutes to take your class. But it is your responsibility to call them and make arrangements. You need to inform your substitute what you're teaching on and then RE-CONTACT AND CONFIRM with the Children's Ministry Coordinator.
3 to 4 times a year we have teacher meetings where we'll fellowship, share and learn from each other. It is so enlightening to learn what other teachers are doing in their classes. You will learn from them and they from you! We also introduce new materials, clear up any confusion over policies, give teaching tips and suggestions.
This is so important! Study your kids. Learn and know what their characteristics are. Each age group is a world unto itself, and HOW you teach a first-grader will be very different than a sixth-grader. They have entirely different comprehensive capabilities as well as emotional/spiritual maturities, which will determine the best teaching approach!
Never allow yourself to become lulled into a false sense of self-confidence. It is not you teaching, it is the Holy Spirit. Your talents, ideas and very words are from the Lord. If they aren't, you probably won't be teaching long! Remember, we are to always give glory to the Lord. And that should be our motive in teaching, not to show how good, smart OR talented we are; not to just fill a vacant teaching spot, but to bring glory to the Name of the Lord!
