Overview
Eagle’s Nest Ministries acknowledges that a vibrant and effective Children’s Ministry is vital for any growing church. The Children’s Church weekly ministry time is guided by 4 “Ws” We Worship, we study the Word, we Witness, With lots of fun in the Son. The age groups who attend children’s church are from 4 – 13. The children assemble in the main children’s hall for a time of worship. After the time of worship the children are divided in four different age groups where they can engage with their teachers and friends on their own level of understanding. The group sessions are based on a theme per term and teachers use their own discretion to instill biblical truths through teachings, arts and crafts and audio visual equipment.
