Parker church strives to provide a nourishing ministry so that children will flourish and grow in the light of God's love within the environment of this Parker church congregation. The Children's ministry dedicates itself to the unique needs of children. Under the direction of Nancy Montague, volunteers in children's ministry display a love of children and a commitment to their religious education. These workers help lead a structured program for children during the Sunday worship hours, children's Bible studies, Vacation Bible School, and meet with Children's Ministries Coordinators to discover needs and to implement programs for children. The youth ministry is not a program, but a process by which youth are led to a deeper relationship with Christ and a deeper commitment to the work of the church in the world.
Youth ministry is anything the church does that is by, with, and for youth.
The youth also participate in various activities such as 30 hour famines to help them better understand world conditions. They also actively support various ministries within the church. This growing segment of our congregation can sometimes be overlooked. Workers in this area commit themselves to understanding the special needs of singles and to developing ministries to meet their social and religious needs. Older adulthood can be a time of creative growth and development or a time of stagnation and despair.
