OUR VISION

To raise a generation of kids who are fully known, deeply seen, and unconditionally loved by God and the church - while ensuring that parents and volunteers feel the same, empowered to partner in God’s purpose.

OUR VALUES

Known:

God knows each child personally. “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5 (ESV)

Seen:

God sees every child, especially when they feel unnoticed. “The Lord looks down from the heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.” Psalm 14:2 (ESV)

Loved:

God’s love for children is unfailing and everlasting. “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 (ESV)

  • and change the world like Jesus did.
