The Children's Ministry Depart of Abundant Life Center, otherwise known as "ALC Kids" would like to invite you and your family to explore this ministry for yourself! We are excited to meet you and share the love of Christ with your children!

ALC Kids has a Four Fold Mission Purpose:

Connect
To provide a well rounded Christ centered atmosphere that allows each child to connect and form friendships with each other and with HIM!

Grow
To be instrumental in each child's growth in their relationship with Jesus Christ and grow in Knowledge of His Word!

Serve
To equip each child so that they can discover their unique and individual gifts and callings, and His mission for their life.

Go
To prepare each child to share the gospel of Christ with their family, friends, neighbors, and to their world. To consistently show Him in their attitudes, actions, and words.

"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."I Timothy 4:12

Special ALC Kids Dates

Each year our ALC Kids participate in presentations to their parents on Easter, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Thanksgiving, and with their annual Christmas play/presentation.

ALC Kids Week.

  

Each year we have a week that is focused solely on ALC Kids. For the past 5 years we have had a fabulous VBS where every family of ALC gets involved. This is a great week of learning and fun and is enjoyed and has become known throughout the Matthews community.

Back to School Bash.

What a great time we have on our Annual Back to School Bash and Grandparents Day Celebration. This is a day of bouncy inflatables, horseback rides, games, and a picnic for all to share.

Lazy Five Ranch Outing.

     

Each year ALC packs into cars and heads over the "Lazy Five Ranch". The day is filled with horse drawn wagon ride, feeding animals, visiting the petting zoo, and ends with a huge picnic.

ALC's Kids Day Out.

Every other month we have a fun outing for ALC Kids. This finds them skating, or at the park, or just getting together and having a fun day. Some time we even let the parents stay!

Sunday School Teacher Appreciation Day!
At ALC we value our Sunday School Teachers. They come into each class prepared and with a burden for the class that they teach. Once a year (which is not enough) we take a Sunday out to appreciate them to the ALC congregation. Our teacher's have monthly meetings and also attend training seminars to keep them in top form for ministering to your children!

ALC Kids.

Each month your kids will receive a copy of our newsletter-ALC Kids. This features a devotional, ALC Kid of the month, fun games, an animal corner, and activities and experiments to do at home. There is also a just for parents section!

ALC loves children.

This is evident from the time your child will walk through the door until they go home! We trust we will see you this Sunday. We are ready to Connect, Grow, Serve, and Go!
