Children´s Ministries


MISSIONETTES, (a program for girls 3-12)
Early in the 1950s, women began to see a need for a program to teach missions to young women and to prepare them for future involvement in Women´s Ministries. The national Women´s Ministries Department developed the Missionettes program in response to this need.

The first Missionettes club was officially chartered in January 1956. Since then, Missionettes clubs continue to be organized across the United States and in many foreign countries. Along the way, revisions have been made, such as age- and grade-level changes, additions, and modifications in the achievement programs. But the ultimate purpose of Missionettes - winning girls to Jesus Christ and teaching them to live victoriously - has never changed.

ROYAL RANGERS, (a program for boys 3-12)
Royal Rangers is a ministry that reaches across the United States and in over 65 nations around the world. It motivates boys spiritually through Bible study and memorization, devotionals, and Christian role models. Boys are strengthened mentally by an advanced awards-based weekly program. Further, the boys increase their physical prowess by participation in age-specific activities and recreation such as supervised camping, hiking, crafts, day and overnight trips. Finally, they are introduced to church, community, and nature-related activities to develop their social skills and awareness.

What Do We Teach Our Children?

From Barna Research

"When our kids are exposed to the same (worldly) influences, without much supervision, and are generally not guided to interpret their circumstances and opportunities in light of biblical principles, it´s no wonder that they grow up to be just as involved in gambling, adultery, divorce, cohabitation, excessive drinking and other unbiblical behaviors as everyone else. What we build into a child´s life prior to the age of 13 represents the moral and spiritual foundation that defines them as individuals and directs their choices for the remainder of their life. Garbage in, garbage out; there´s no magic that suddenly changes the young person from what they were trained to be in their formative years into a model Christian once they get older."
