The mission of the Children’s Ministries Department is to nurture children into a loving, serving relationship with Jesus. For most parents, “I want my kids to find indestructible joy in Christ” is the anthem. To ensure its achievement, Full Gospel Church, Zimmerman develops and implements:
- Grace-oriented ministries, in which all children experience the unconditional love of Jesus, find assurance of acceptance and forgiveness, and make a commitment to Him and develop their faith.
- Inclusive ministries, in which the volunteers who minister and the children to whom they minister are valued and involved regardless of language, gender, age, abilities, or socio-economic circumstances;
- Leadership ministries, in which volunteers are empowered, trained, and equipped for effective ministry to children;
- Service-oriented ministries, in which children are given opportunities for hands-on service to people in their neighborhood or city, which could establish a pattern of outreach to others that may well continue through life;
- Cooperative ministries, which involve working in partnership with other ministries, such as the Youths, the Women Fellowship, Gideons, and the Young Professionals, to support and help parents develop the faith of their children.
- Safe ministries, whereby our churches adopt safeguards to protect children from physical, emotional, and spiritual abuse; to choose volunteers with high spiritual and moral backgrounds; and to minimize the church’s liability; and,
- Evangelistic ministries, in which children who are not enfolded in the church family will be introduced to the love of Jesus through outreach-programs such as: Bible Study and Evangelism.
The team is managed in 7 classes including:
- The happy class
