Mighty Warriors for Christ
More and more churches are now recognizing the importance and influence of children ministry in the lives of children. In fact, children ministry is now considered by many to be amongst the fore front of evangelism and discipleship in the 21st century church.
Given the various forms of immorality and inappropriate influences our children are exposed to, a Christian ministry that provides innovative and effective ways to reach, nurture and foster responsible and godly characters is without doubt necessary and needed.
The Mighty Warriors for Christ is the name of our dynamic and growing Children's Ministry. Although there is a great emphasis placed on spiritual development in our children, given the scope of the needs of our children, our ministry is by no means limited to the spiritual. We believe that children must be empowered not only to take their place in the Body of Christ, but also as responsible citizens in the wider society.
In view of this, our children's ministry is committed to encouraging the development of a wide range of skills in the children. This includes, but is not limited to, intellectual, social, relational, leadership, communication, and creative skills.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to empower children into maturity. We strive to provide the kind of environment and opportunities which will help cultivate strong, purposeful, godly and responsible characters in our children, which will lead them to become devoted Christians and good citizens of society.
OUR MISSION
“And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.”(Deut. 6:7)
Our mission is to teach our children Godly principles through music and arts, reading, drama, and various outdoor activities.
We provide the environment and tools through which our children can be built up socially, spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, physically and personally.
OUR GOALS

We develop group activities that will involve them to listen to others’ thoughts and generate ideas together as well as taking them on outings, camps and field trips to encourage them to communicate on a casual level and share their learning experiences with one another.
- Personal Skills Development: We strive to achieve this by providing opportunities for children to give presentations and encourage them to praise one another.

At the end of each year children are presented with certificates for outstanding achievements in areas such as “big helper” or any areas they have made improvements.

To achieve this we engage their thinking and discussion about stories of the Bible which highlight the characters of God as loving, patient, and caring.

These include but not limited to discussion, presentations, arts and crafts, songs, skits, role-play, and drama.

We aim to provide the kind of environment and opportunities where children can learn various skills while having fun at the same time. During these activities we include children from the wider community. Here we encourage encouraged our children to invite their friends to join the crew for fun and learning.
- Emotional: Emotions are very important to the development of a child. We strive to provide the teaching and activities through which children can begin to recognize and use their emotions in creative and productive ways. It is also our goal to help children understand that others’ have feelings through activities and conflict resolutions.
