Kid’s Heart Beat
• We confirm and believe fully in the Mission and Vision of FPCM and the sacredness of participating in the Body of Christ
• From the earliest age children begin to experience the love of God through those around them. It is never too early to give your child a religious language
• Children are our most precious resource and must be supported, safely in partnership with their parents, peers, and church membership
• Nurture each child’s response to the message of God’s heart with the ultimate goal of bringing each one to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Kid’s Heart Action Plan
