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 discipling 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. 

Children's Programs Offered

Kids Konnection

Kid's Konnection is a program designed with children in mind--every child from 4 years old through 6th grade is welcome! This program was developed by our Church to reach the children in our community for God. It is held every Wednesday evening from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. This annual program offers Bible lessons taken directly from the Bible, class time, music, videos, quizzing, crafts, and much, much more! A snack of cookies and punch is also provided. There isn't any cost to you, but a free-will offering is taken each week. This offering is used to help fund this program. Parents are always welcome to stop by, and experience the Kid's Konnection Program!
