Our Mission Statement
The Children's Ministry of CCCI exists to help children develop a relationship with God through Jesus Christ and grow as His disciples in the power of the Holy Spirit. We seek to do this through three main avenues:
1. Building relationships with the children that will allow us to effectively model the Christian life for them.
2. Teaching the Bible--the Word of God--so that the children will understand, remember, believe, and apply it.
3. Training and motivating the parents to regularly minister to their children at home.
What is the 2008/2009 theme for the CCCI Children's Ministry? Find out here!

Thoughts from Ben

One important thing that families can do to connect with each other is to spend time together building memories. Last week I asked where you like to go as a family. Here are the answers that I received. You may want to consider these Indianapolis-area places and others to spend time as a family. The two with stars were especially popular among those who responded.
*Children's Museum of Indianapolis*
*Indianapolis Zoo*
The Macaroni Grill
Palomino's Restaurant
Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park
Borders Bookstore
United Artist Movie Theater

"I have a dream!" This statement was made famous by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and symbolized a major development in American history: racial equality. Every big development begins with a dream, a mental picture of how things could be if we work toward them.
This is certainly true of church ministries. If we really want to make an impact on people, we need start with a dream. But a dream by itself is not enough; it needs people to work toward it in the most effective ways possible. Finally, there must be a way for people to see how much the dream is materializing.
Over the next several months, a "Dream Team" made of parents and coworkers will be meeting to develop a strategic plan for the children's ministries of CCCI. We will spend several hours answering the following three questions:
- What are the desired outcomes we have for the children of our church and community?
- What are the most effective ways for the family and the church to pursue those outcomes?
- How can we best evaluate the impact we're having in the lives of the children?
Larry Fowler is the executive director of global training for AWANA. He has written a very helpful book called Raising a Modern-Day Joseph which gives a great foundation for any parent or church hoping to do strategic planning for their children's ministry. All parents at CCCI are asked to read this book so that you can catch the vision for where we're headed!
