“See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.” Matthew 18:10
Hello and welcome to First Christian Church Children’s Ministry.
Our united goal as parents, teachers, and leaders of children is to plant seeds of Christ’s Gospel into young hearts, minds and spirits. We strive to give them the opportunity to grow and learn in the Lord and to develop a close and vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ. We also pray that the children become equipped to share God’s love with others through actions in their daily lives, whether it be at home, school, on the playground, in church or on the athletic field.
If you would like more information you can reach me at 285.7552.
In Christ’s love & service,

What Is 252?
252 is a program based on Luke 2:52,
“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature,and in favor with God and men.”
This ministry focuses on teaching children to ‘trust God no matter what’, the need to ‘make the wise choice’, and ‘treating others the way I want to be treated’. 252 also incorporates various virtues such as, discipline, service, responsibility, friendship, learning, courtesy and much more. The children learn through drama, music, Bible story, and life application lessons. The doors of 252 are always open to parents, and parents are encouraged to visit 252 with their children.
252 is held every Sunday morning. Doors open at 10:15. All parents need to come in the front door with their children where they will be signed in and assigned a number. That number will go with the parents and be returned when parents sign out their children. For the safety of the children, only parents with their child’s number will be allowed to pick up the child. Please come visit this ministry! We believe your children will find it very welcoming and fun, and will learn more about living with Christ daily.
