MINISTRIES

Next Gen Ministry

Next Gen Ministry: Through a variety of activities such as Bible teaching, Scripture memory work, crafts, music, games and other activities, we seek to provide a nurturing environment where children and teens can learn about Jesus' wonderful love for them. We also come alongside parents as they teach and train their children to live out God’s truths in their lives. We welcome your children and teens to experience the love of Jesus through the loving servants in our CBS NextGen Ministry. Bible stories are shared with infants, toddlers and preschoolers, and children in 1st through 12th grade will study age-appropriate versions of the same passages that the adults do.
