Psalm 127:3,4 - Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of warrior, so are the children of one’s youth.
Matthew 19:13-15- Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hand on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.
We truly believe that children and youth are a direct heritage from the Lord. It is our heart and responsibility to “train up a child” in a way that he/she should go. Thank you for partnering with us.
Next step: After you submit this application, please complete the background check application as required to work with Children's.
