GOD'S GOOD NEWS
God gave us the Bible so we can learn His truth: God made us to be His friends! The Bible is God’s true story. It tells us God made you and me to be His friends! Feed the Bible’s truth to your heart so you can learn from it. It will turn the lights on for your heart so you know who God is and what He’s done for you!
FOLLOW JESUS: Disciples know Jesus
Jesus chose twelve disciples to follow Him while He lived on earth. And kids can be disciples today, too! Jesus’ original twelve disciples could copy His example because they lived with Him, spent time with Him, and listened to Him every day. We can be Jesus’ disciples today when we choose Him to be our Lord, learn from Him, get to know Him, copy Him, and grow fruit to bring God glory!
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
At Mill Creek, one of our greatest joys is leading and loving on our next generation. Our mission is building real life disciples connected to God, people, purpose and compassion. That begins at birth here at Mill Creek. We strongly believe in guiding, encouraging and supporting parents as they facilitate connection and build on what they teach at home.
- Nursery: Our loving volunteers begin that connection to God as a channel through which His love flows. Our babies - 2 years old learn 1 John 4:8, "God is love".
- Toddler/Pre-school: Our 2's through 4/5 year olds learn how Jesus wants us to connect to people. Kind words and actions are taught as they learn Matthew 7:12, "Do to others what you would want them to do to you".
- Pre-K/Kindergarten: As children enter Preschool through Kindergarten, we begin helping kids learn the pursuit of worship and how they fit into the big God story. To reinforce their connection to God and others they learn Matthew 22:37, 39, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart...soul...mind and love your neighbor as yourself" and Proverbs 16:24, "Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy to the body".
- Konnect: Our elementary students (1st-5th grade) begin each service with the adults in "big" church. We start to reinforce the idea that they have a purpose in this world through Ephesians 2:10, "We are his masterpiece, created anew in Christ Jesus". And that purpose for all of us is to love and serve as Romans 12:10 says, "Love each other deeply. Honor others more than yourselves".
