SPARK CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
Our children’s ministry program exists to introduce children to the gospel of Jesus Christ and to help them to live their whole lives in response. We do so by building Christ-centered relationships, teaching a Bible-centered curriculum, and participating in missional activities.
Anyone who is interested in serving in this ministry must complete their Clearances.
