Children’s Ministry at SFBC is so much more than “childcare”, so much more than just giving kids a place to go on Sunday morning. We take very seriously our commitment to “maintain and facilitate various children’s programs that assist parents in training up children who know God with scriptural precision, who love God with unbridled passion, and who are fully devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Serving this congregation in that way is a privilege, and the joy is immeasurable when I can share the comments from this grandfather, a VBS Crew Leader, whose grandson attended with him, and who made a commitment to Christ! Following is an email received from this faithful Crew Leader:
“Each year I'm overwhelmed by the un-inhibited enthusiasm our little ones have for God and our Savior Jesus Christ. The songs of praise they sing at the beginning and end of each day demonstrates how they wish to praise God with all their hearts and souls. My only wish is that there was more time in each day to have heart to heart discussions about how God wants us to live for him. Kids today have many distractions and it will be easy for them to lose focus as they grow older and their life comes more complicated. How true to the song lyrics: THE STORMS OF LIFE, THEY PUSH AND PULL. Our church needs to be the rock that never rolls and is always a place they can feel at home when home no longer feels that way.
I wasn't too surprised that my grandson has put his trust in Jesus Christ. He has been very outspoken about his belief in God and Jesus. Many times I have overheard him discussing God with his unbelieving neighbor friend. His friend does not believe in God or Jesus, but my grandson keeps telling him that He is for real, so I know that he has Jesus in his heart. Even at the park he will tell strangers that God made everything. He is not afraid to share his belief.”
