Growing in Faith
Children and Their Families Ministry
As you shape your calendars and rhythms for the fall, we hope you take a deep breath! Consider adding opportunities for faith formation, outreach, and fellowship as the foundation for everything else.
The word that reverberates as we pray for the year ahead is “breathe.” God’s very name “Yahweh” is an inhale and an exhale. Try it now: breathe in “Yah…” and breathe out “weh….”
As we BREATHE together this year, we give thanks that God inspires us and rejuvenates us through scripture and service, through fellowship and faith formation.
We join with the Psalmist, “Let all who have breath praise the Lord!” (Psalm 150:6).
In Christ,
Lisa Hickman and the Children and Family Ministry Team

Outreach for Kids
Encourage your children to get their hands in the mud of missions as they learn tangible ways to show compassion to others.
Sprout Outreach
Sprout Outreach connects children (4 years through 2nd Grade) and their families to local Charlotte neighbors and mission partners. Sprout Outreach is designed to be a first experience in serving God and neighbor in the Charlotte community and beyond.
Mission Kids
Mission Kids is a great opportunity for our older elementary school kids (3rd – 5th grade) to make strides in leadership and service. Our hope is they will:
- Expand their sense of community beyond their church, home, and school;
- Kindle their curiosity about societal issues and injustices;
- Encourage meaningful connections as they step out in faith to serve God and neighbor;
- Cultivate cheerful hearts for service.
We are grateful for a great team of parents who support and guide our older elementary school kids as they learn what it means to serve Christ in our community. This group lays the foundation for Middle School and High School mission and outreach opportunities.
