CHILDREN'S MINISTRIES
Our Mission
It is our sincere mission to provide quality Christian education and encouragement to the children and families of the Presbyterian Church of Los Gatos. Our commitment is to all our children so that they might know God and develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Our goals are created to provide the programs and an environment necessary to enrich our children and families. They are as follows:
-
Offer a strong curriculum of Bible stories and activities
-
Strengthen interpersonal relationships among children and families
-
Prepare and support our volunteers
-
Provide opportunities for Christian fellowship
If you feel called to this ministry, we will support you in any way we can. Please let us know how we can enhance the program as well as your volunteer experience.
