The
Mineral City Church of the Nazarene places a large emphasis on
children.
We believe
that not only does the future of our church lie within our youth, but our
youth is important, and are vital elements of our church now. We
strive to include children in all ministries and plan and implement
programs that take place on a weekly basis. The Nazarene
church is answering
a call to the
International Church of the Nazarene for a decadal emphasis on
reexamining the church’s ministries for discipiling children and
youth in the Church of the Nazarene. Children’s Ministries
International, Nazarene Youth International, Nazarene Compassionate
Ministries, Sunday School & Discipleship Ministries International
have all partnered together to bridge the gap between children and
our church.

the Bible, class time, music, videos, quizzing, crafts, and much, much more!
