“Children are not a distraction from more important work, they are the most important work.”
- C.S. Lewis
"Believe me…the church of God will never be preserved without catechesis."
- John Calvin
“The Scriptures of God are my only fountain and substance in all matters of weight and importance”

Our Goal
To come alongside parents in the nurture and discipline of the children of Awakening Church by increasing their scripture competency with the aim to produce and/or strengthen their spiritual disciplines making them arrows shot out into the world (Psalm 127:4).
Our Desire
That the children of Awakening Church will become willing and joyful participants in corporate worship with God’s church. It is desired that the content taught on Thursday night will be reinforced in the home throughout the week.
Who Should/May Attend
Children of the age or knowledge level that prohibits their full participation in Thursday bible study, who are still in the process of being built up the ability to digest the meat of the Gospel.
What This is Not
This is not “Children's church”. This ministry is not a substitute for the gathering of the Saints. The children are being prepared for full participation with the Church, not a removal from that good thing.
Worship
Children are exposed to deep theological truth in memorable and enjoyable format.
