Join with us as we see the Lord raise up something wonderful in Him... |

We believe that children and teens are truly God’s blessing to the individual family and to Bread of Life. We also believe the children and teens to be a part of the church and not a separate entity. While we recognize that the primary responsibility to raise children in the care and instruction of the Lord that is entrusted and invested in the parents themselves, we accept our shared responsibility as brothers and sisters in the Lord to aid and encourage parents by our active and personal participation with them in this task. We desire to provide a Youth Ministry that is our service of love, first to the Lord – Who values and seeks to minister life and salvation to His little ones, secondly to the children – who are co-heirs with us in the gospel of grace, and finally to their parents – who bear the full weight of this holy calling.
Our "SUNSHINE PATCH" NURSERY CLASS includes youth from ages 2 to 5 years. In this class, stories, music, crafts, memory verses and prayer-time all revolve around the day’s lesson theme. Even in these early years, children can recognize the love and life of Jesus, and learn much about the God that we serve. Our CHILDREN’S CHURCH, ages 6 to 12, goes into a greater depth of teaching and experience, with stories, music, crafts and games all blending together to bring a rich teaching to these children who are being raised up in prayer, praise, and the word of God.
The YOUTH CAFÉ in the downstairs Fellowship Building provides a pleasant environment for videos, game nights, and other youth activities scheduled throughout the year. Monday Night F.Y.R. (Find Your Reason) - A Ministry of Bread of Life Church - Meets Monday nights- A place for young people to find their reason and purpose and to impart the desire to seek God in His written Word, in prayer, and in song.

Bread of Life Church

At
Bread of Life Church, we want to be real, and we want our children
to be real. We do not expect our youth to be conformed to our image,
but to the image of Christ, in whatever way He chooses to increase in
them. We want to provide a safe, loving environment that will allow
them to be free and open to the transforming power of the Holy
Spirit. We have a vision for our youth. Read about the
vision. Hear about the classes and programs that are making this
vision a reality.
We
believe the level of care for the children and teens should be the same as
the level of care for the adults in the church, and the general vision for
Bread of Life is held for children, teens, and adults alike.
The
"HONEY BEARS" INFANT NURSERY,
to the back of the main sanctuary, is where care and teaching are provided
for children from birth to age 2. Simplistic scriptural stories and music,
coloring, and prayer-time come together to open their spirits and whet
their appetites with the love and joy of Jesus, and establish their sense
of security and peace in the house of God.
Our
TEEN CLASS delves into some of the
more complex issues which face our teens today, and teaches them valuable
lessons using biblical principles for their life’s journey with Jesus.
