Why
is it so important to do this now? The short answer is because
"God told us to." We've totally outgrown our Children's Ministry
space. Moving the youth ministry into the new Family Life Center
will free up desperately needed space for our children. Current
trends indicate that this need will only grow more urgent as time
goes by.
Horizons is known
as a church that promotes growth. Just one glimpse into the children's
ministry area on Sunday morning will show you the urgent need for
more room.
We want to provide a safe
place where children can grow with God and each other. With the
redesign of the Children's Church "Rock
Solid Kids," by Wacky World Ministries, we'll be able to offer
children an exciting and inviting environment, a place they are proud
of and can't wait to invite their friends to.
As the children move into middle school and high school our BIG
GOD Youth Ministries (BGYM) is going to experience rapid growth as
well.
We can't transform the
existing Children's Ministry Area until we've built a new home
for our Youth Ministry. A place that will "belong" to
them- with areas for recreation, worship, teaching and plenty of "hang" space.
Our new Family Life Center will house BGYM, a multi-purpose gymnatorium,
a full size kitchen, Help on the Horizons Food Pantry, and more.
We have excellent teams ministering to our children and teens. These
tools will help them to be even more effective in reaching future
generations for Christ!
