Shepherds, in
partnership with parents, called to guide children and youth into a
relationship with Jesus Christ.
By setting a positive
example of discipleship, we build a foundation of faith that emphasizes God's
love for children and youth, and encourage them to respond to God's love in
their everyday lives. We create a fun and caring environment that engages
children and youth through Bible study, prayer, worship, music, missions,
evangelism, and drama.
1) We develop a personal
relationship with each child.
2) We create an
environment that generates contagious enthusiasm--children will want to come.
3) Through our programs,
children and youth develop a basic Christian understanding that is
age-appropriate.
4) We create disciples
for Jesus Christ.

Dear Parents,
We are so blessed to have so many children here
at Skyline, and are privileged to be able to help them grow in their
relationship to Christ through our children’s ministry programs.
Though we know so many of your
children by name and fa ce,
our church family will soon
grow and we will not always be able to easily recognize some of the bright,
shining faces who are placed in our care on Sunday mornings. We know that God
will continue to bless our church family with new members and we will continue
to grow as a family of faith; therefore, we now find it necessary to put into
place practices that will ensure the safety of all of our children, and better
enable us to reach and serve new families who visit.
Therefore, we ask for your help
in completing the attached Sunday School
Registration Form for each child that will participate in Sunday School this
year. We will be preparing a permanent name badge for your child and would like
to be able to present your child with his/her badge as soon as possible. Please
complete the registration form online, or
print it out, fill it out and and
place it in the offering plate, or in the mail slot
marked “Children’s Ministry” in the library.
Further, we have also implemented the attached
Guidelines for drop off and pick-up of
children that will help our team of volunteers get to know you and your child
better.
Thank you for your support and cooperation. May God’s
blessings shower you and your family.
Yours in Christ,
Cheryl Wagner
Children’s Ministry Coordinator
