Eight Goals of the Children’s Ministries Agency

Return to "Helping to Grow A 21st -Century Church"

The discipleship goals of the Children’s Ministries Agency are based upon preparing the children for life. Following are the eight qualities of spiritual character we want every child to develop. We believe that every child should be:

1. Powerful in prayer
   Every child should be a powerful prayer warrior through regular opportunities of seeing God answer his or her prayers.

2. Baptized in the Holy Spirit
   Every child should be endued with power for his or her Christian walk by being baptized in the Holy Spirit.

3. Radical in worship
   Every child should worship God intimately through age-appropriate songs, lifting his or her hands in worship.

4. Mobilized in service
   Every child should be taught the value of service in God’s kingdom through opportunities to exercise his or her talents and abilities to minister to others.

5. Sacrificial in giving
   Every child should be taught through BGMC to pray for and sacrificially give to help reach the lost people of the world.

6. Active in evangelism
   Every child should be willing to be a bold witness for Christ and allow his or her life to be used to bring glory to God and salvation to others.

7. Knowledgeable in God’s Word
   Every child should be knowledgeable of God’s Word through systematic teaching by trained leaders using Pentecostal curriculum and resources.

8. Baptized in water
   Every child needs to follow Jesus’ command to be baptized in water and to boldly stand up and publicly proclaim his or her faith in Christ.
