These are some great goals Tony. I pray that God will see them come to fruition. As for our church, here is what we have defined as the goal of our CM:
"Mission
Our goal is to provide an environment that is safe and fun, while holding the supremacy and gospel of Jesus Christ as the primary emphasis of every children’s activity."
-from King of Grace Church's Children's Ministry Handbook
We included a phrase about safety. I wanted to emphasize the priority of caring for, and loving our children by doing everything we know to do to protect them from harm while engaging in church functions.
Thanks, we are working on upgrading our safty-security-hospitality. It deserves a spot on the goal listing.
