Power Source serves children from birth -5^th grades and is divided into 3 main categories of Preschool, Power Surge, and High Voltage.  We are here to equip children for ministry now.  The fields are white unto harvest (John 4:35); and the whitest, ripest fruits are the hearts of the children.  For this reason we must proclaim the Gospel with an empowering passion.  The salvation of every child within reach is the first step, with the second step being to see every child baptized with fire according to Luke 3:16.  Making effective witnesses of every child is the vision of this ministry.

 

Through powerful worship, prayer, and Bible teaching, this ministry aspires to see the children make lasting relationships with God.  Power Source helps children recognize the gifts within themselves and opportunities are created in which to share and develop these God-given abilities.  Classes for new believers, puppet ministry, drama, praise teams, choir, dance, intercessory prayer, altar ministry, and media are all part of the efforts to facilitate their growth in Christ. 

 

Objectives:

 

• To offer a carefully supervised and children’s church program.

FAQ’s:

Where do I drop my children off?  The Preschool Ministry is located directly behind the Commons Area and Gym (near the North Entrance/Bookstore area).  The Power Source Ministry is located beyond the Preschool area.

 

How do I check in my children?  All visitors and anyone checking in their children for the first time should check in their children at the Parent Pager Information Centers.  An "In Slip” will be printed which must be presented by the parent to the teacher.

 

How do I pick up my children after service?  All parents must receive an "Out-slip” via the Parent Pager Information Center/Kiosk prior to picking up children.  To ensure the safety of all children, parents and persons authorized to pick up children must present an "Out-slip” to the teachers.  Children will not be released without an "Out-slip”. 

 

 

Our Vision…

The vision of the Power Source Children’s Ministry is to plug children into the Word of God to release His power into their lives.  Training them to minister to others, younger and older than themselves, is bringing a maturity to the ministry.  We believe children receive the Word readily, but have not been trained for the onslaught of doubt and unbelief they face from their peers, teachers, relatives, and sometimes even their mothers and fathers.  We must give them the answers we have found and teach them to seek God with fervency for the secrets He holds to their destinies.  We want to help other children, children’s leaders and parents come to an awareness of the way God wants to demonstrate His love and power through children for ministry now.
