| The Purpose of the Preschool Ministry at Cropwell Baptist Church
We believe children are a unique creation of God. It is our desire at Cropwell Baptist Church to provide a loving and secure environment where this creation can have the opportunity to learn appropriate biblical concepts. We strive to help preschoolers learn about God through age appropriate and developmentally appropriate activities.
There is no other time in a person's life that there is such a large amount of information that can be learned in such a short amount of time like that of birth through three years. We strive at Cropwell Baptist Church to lay a strong foundation for your child by providing loving caring relationships with parents and teachers and preschoolers so they can begin their journey toward faith in Jesus Christ.
Although we provide wonderful ways for your child to learn the principles God's love, the impact of the home on child development cannot be replaced. Please look on our church's home page for ministries that our church provides that will develop and encourage Christian growth and development in your family. We want to help preschoolers:
| • |
Feel comfortable and happy, loved and wanted, secure and unhurried. |
| • |
Grow in independence and to make progress in sharing and taking turns. |
| • |
Feel more secure with adults, with other preschoolers and with new situations. |
| • |
Begin to associate God with feelings of wonder, love and happiness and to want to talk to God. |
| • |
Feel that Jesus loves them and others. |
| • |
Think of the Bible as a special book and become familiar with Bible stories they can relate to. |
| • |
Think of home as a place where they are loved and wanted. |
| • |
Have happy experiences at church where they can work and play with others. |
