I am working to forumlate a mission and vision for my children's group. It is still a work in progress but this is what I am bringing to the table for discussion in my Sunday meeting with my children's volunteers.
MISSION AND VISION
WICHITA FIRST CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE
The Children’s Department at Wichita First Church of the Nazarene purpose is twofold:
1. All children should sense, feel, and see their own value to God and the church community.
2. All children should be given opportunity to learn how the scriptures enable us to form the right patterns and habits in our lives so that we might be a part of the community together who reflect the character of Christ in our love for God and neighbor.
Therefore, because who we are as the people of God comes out of both being loved and how we are formed by scripture-based habits and patterns in our lives, everything we do as a children’s department must have the specific intention of both loving our kids and helping our children be formed Christianly, so we might be the church who embodies and reflects the character of Christ.
