The children’s ministry of Thaxton Baptist Church exists to glorify God by:
-
Maintaining a safe and secure environment for our children
- Supporting and encouraging parents who are primarily responsible for teaching biblical truths to their children (Ephesians 6:4)
- Making the whole counsel of Scripture known to children with special emphasis on the Gospel (Deuteronomy 6:6-9; Romans 1:16-17)
-
Praying for the children and relying on the Holy Spirit to regenerate their hearts through the faithful teaching of His Word (Romans 10:17; Ephesians 2:4-10)
-
Living faithfully before the children and modeling for them how Christians are called to respond to God, interact with each other, and with the world around us (Matthew 5:16; 1 Corinthians 11:1)
-
Encouraging children to learn to serve and to not just be served (Mark 10:43-45)
-
Maintaining the highest ethical standards such that volunteers always live and serve above reproach, protecting the reputation of the gospel of Jesus Christ
-
Preparing children to one day walk with God as adults, which means getting them ready to be a part of the public services and Lord willing, one day, a fully participating adult member
