Childrens Ministry
God created us to experience his goodness as the undeserving and to express his goodness to the undeserving.Families are welcome here
We are thrilled at the opportunity to minister to your family in a variety of ways. Our mission is: Partnering with parents to reach, teach, and grow children to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
I want to welcome you to the Clearwater Community Church Childrens Ministries Section. CCC has a unique role in the lives of parents and children to which it ministers. It is not the responsibility of the church to raise children – this is not to say we don’t have a responsibility to children, but rather that God gives parents the responsibility to raise their children and to instill in them biblical values and principles. He holds them accountable.
This is where the church comes in – it allows us to align ourselves with the parents and serve them by having quality classes for their children and supporting them with parenting. The purpose statement for the Childrens Ministries at CCC is …
Partnering with parents to reach, teach, and grow children to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
Our responsibilities as a church lie primarily with parents – helping them and assisting them with their awesome responsibility to biblically raise their children and as teachers model and teach character. This responsibility is an immense one in today’s society – the pressures on parents and children are great. Because of this enormous responsibility, we have developed principles and policies to guide our childrens workers to assure parents that their children are in a safe environment
If I can be of assistance to you, please contact me. May God richly bless you as you continue to serve Him.

MONTHLY GIVING
ONGOING ______________________________
Current Collection is for https://www.ricebowls.org/
Children may pick-up their rice bowl on Sunday in their classroom or at the Children’s Checkin Desk.
We believe the spiritual practice of giving an offering to the Lord can and should start at an early age. Children are encouraged to give a portion of their money back to God out of obedience to His call. Monthly offering challenges are a way to foster a joy in giving to their church and various mission outreaches.
