The Bridge Of Hope Ministries : Sioux Center, Iowa

PROMISE LAMBS

"Train a child in the way they should go,
and when they are old they will not depart from it"
Proverbs 22:6

Several of our key values at Bridge of Hope come together in this important ministry. Our kids are the most valuable asset we possess. Having them as part of our church community is always a privilege and a blessing all at once. Our children are worth our investment, our resources, our time and our love. They matter deeply to God and their instruction in the knowledge of God has been something he has commanded parents since Creation.

Another key value at Bridge is relevant worship--interaction and communion with God. This of course, isn't just for adults but for everyone. Therefore, Promise Lambs was created to offer a meaningful time of worship for children age 3 - first grade. These children worship with the rest of the congregation for the first portion of the service. Then, when the teaching time occurs, they are dismissed for their own time of teaching, geared toward their stage of development. Typically this means a Bible story told in video or other creative format, followed by a time of hands-on interactivre learning about the lesson.
