Children
Why do we call our ministry KidzQuest? We believe that our job as adults shepherding children is to help them to see that God is with us in everything— in our family lives, in our school activities, as we play on the soccer team with our friends. God is present! And a personal relationship with Him through Jesus is ours!!! But the challenge is for us to recognize the places where He us guiding us, protecting us and caring for our every need. We want our children to understand that, because of Jesus’ love and sacrifice, we are able to call ourselves children of God—dearly loved, saved from our sin and cared for by the One who made us.
A Godly Vision for our Homes:
NPC is moving toward a vision of making the home the primary place of influence for faith development.
The focus is not simply on creating quality programs for children and/or youth ministry but rather to focus on the home as the center for discipleship. NPC seeks to align all ministries for this purpose, and to create environments where children, youth and adults desire to grow together in Christ.
We recognize that Children’s Ministry has a strategic place in the development of a Home- Based Discipleship model of being the church. We acknowledge that an effective way to reach many adults is through their children. We seek to make our Children’s programs a place where they discover that the teachings of the Bible are relevant to our daily lives and decision-making. Our intended result is engaged children whose enthusiasm for a growing faith will carry over into their homes.
