Heritage Kids Partner Initiative

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 Moses challenged every family: Hear O Israel: the Lord your God is one.  Love the Lord with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.  Impress these commandments that I teach you upon your children.  These verses are some of the most frequently referenced by churches to explain the importance of family.  In this pivotal moment in Israel’s history, Moses is speaking to the entire nation and calling everyone to be responsible for how the next generation is raised.  His timeless message applies even more to our society.

We want the Heritage church family to embrace our next generation:  Heritage Kids!  Pastor Jim explained the Cultural Shift we are making here at Heritage, one that should help us focus even more on the next generation.   He said that we are initiating and embracing the following cultural expectation: 

that every “Regular” Attendee with children and Participating Member would partner with Heritage Kids by serving in Children’s Ministry 6 times a year.

All “partners” will be assigned to supporting roles, not lead-teaching roles. If you are already serving regularly in another position at Heritage, thank you and please continue!  You are not expected to do both.

We have six training times for those who have never served in Children’s Ministry.  So if this is you, please plan to attend one of the upcoming Heritage Kids Partner Training Sessions.  At the Partner Training you will be able to sign up for the dates that work best for you, authorize a background check, and be equipped to experience the joys of working with our children.

We are very excited about this cultural shift as we mobilize our church family to get involved and help raise the next generation, Heritage Kids.  We certainly understand that this is a change for you and for us as a church, but we believe it will result in a great blessing for all of us, especially our Kids.  Should you have any questions, please call or email Matt Liston, Children’s Ministry Director, mliston@heritagecc.org
