Children & Family Ministries

We desire and pray for spiritual transformation to occur in the life of a child at church and at home. We are convinced that ministry to children is best accomplished by creatively teaching the Bible and God's Story, and then offering encouragement, practical training and tools based in scripture to parents.

Our Vision Statement is "WSBC Children’s Ministry exists to help kids & families discover Christ and display His transforming power."
Our Mission Statement is "WSBC Children’s Ministry will work to create opportunities and environments for every child to hear the Good News of Jesus, learn from God’s Word in a loving, fun-filled way, and grow to live more mature spiritually. We also believe, because God has given Parents the primary responsibility and privilege to disciple their children, the Church is then called to support and encourage families in their discipleship. Therefore, the purpose of Children’s Ministry is to teach the Bible and proclaim the Gospel in a way that is age and developmentally appropriate for life application while offering opportunities for kids and families to experience relational connection and participate in our core values of Worship, Serve, Believe, and Connect."

We are committed to families in three ways:

To encourage and equip parents with tools and resources to help them be the primary source of discipleship in their homes.
To teach the truth of God’s Word and the Gospel to children through God's Story in the Bible, music, small group discussions, and age-appropriate, creative activities and play.
To maintain a safe and healthy environment for kids. All volunteers and leaders are carefully screened and a stringent security process is in place for all kids and families.

Come on out for our Church Family Dinner each Wednesday at 5:45pm! We know it can be tricky to get from one thing to another and eat dinner all at the same time on a week night. We hope this is will help. If you have a child 5 years - 5th Grade, we would love for them to join in the fun and excitement of LiveWire.

We believe that ministry volunteers have a lasting impact on the children they serve. Our relationship with them will represent the love of Christ. Because of this great responsibility before the Lord (James 3:1), we require all volunteers to complete a background check, meet specific qualifications, and expectations , be qualified, and we feel it is important to communicate to you the qualifications for volunteers, the expectations we have for you while being a volunteer, and the great blessings you can look forward to as a children’s ministry volunteer.

If you would like more information about becoming a Children’s Ministry volunteer, please contact Joel Sisson our Family Pastor or the Church Office.
