Changing Children’s Lives Through the Love of Jesus Christ!!!
“All thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.” ~ Isaiah 54:13
JESUS SAID
“Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
The most striking thing about this statement is He interrupted an adult meeting to take time for some children. He saw children as more than people in transition waiting for some future date of real meaning.
Parkside Church values children for who they are right now! We desire to help your child build lasting relationships, enjoy interesting activities, and discover the truth of God’s love and goodness. We work diligently to maintain our vision of “Changing Children’s Lives Through the Love of Jesus Christ.”
Each child will receive warm, personal attention from our staff of trained volunteers. As parents, you will enjoy the security of knowing your child is safe and receiving positive encouragement to develop sound Bible-based values that strengthen the family as well as your child’s view of life.
