Children's Ministry
Better known as the Kids Kingdom
There are children's classes from infants all the way up to grade school! These classes are provided at our Midweek and Sunday Services. All the classes are taught by our wonderful teaching volunteers and our instructed by the Children’s Ministry Coordinator staff! Every class is designed to teach the children about God through His Word while having fun through songs, crafts, lessons, games and other life applications. We, also, take very good care of the children by providing a safe environment by practicing safe teaching to children ratios, hall & bathroom monitors.
God calls us to teach our children as the following scriptures state.
God calls us to teach our children as the following scriptures state.
- Matthew 18:3 (NIV) "And he said: 'I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.'"
- Deuteronomy 11:18-21 (NIV) "Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land that the LORD swore to give your forefathers, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth."

Dr. Mark Brings Mukuru to the FLC!
Dr. Mark Ottenweller, who is instrumental in bringing HOPE Worldwide's Early Childhood Development program to impoverished African communities, spoke to the North River children last Sunday about life in Africa, and especially among the children in the Mukuru Slum. The kids were blown away by Dr. Mark's ferocious lion roar imitation, and especially enjoyed watching their teachers attempt some African dances lead by our multitalented missionary. Starting today, the classes for the 3 & 4 year olds up to grade 5 will take up Sunday contributions to raise money for Generosity Sunday with a "Supply Mukuru!" campaign. The money they collect will mean that the children of the Mukuru Slum will now have the school supplies they need for school.
