Our Philosophy of Teaching
The Children's Ministry is an integral part of Southbrook Church. It is a cooperative effort between the church and the home, utilizing the efforts of both parents and the church body to effectively reach the children in our community with the message of the love of Jesus Christ.
The AIM of our ministry is Christ-centered. We desire to help parents in building strong, spiritual foundations in the lives of children which will lead them into a personal and dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ.
The PROGRAM of our ministry is centered on the child. Our ministry focuses on the spiritual, relational, physical and mental needs of the child. All programming is designed to encourage growth in these areas. Our focus is not on program, but on people.
