At Christian Life Church, we are all about "Loving God, Loving Others, and Living It Out," which we do on Sunday mornings through Connecting in our 9:00 classes and Celebrating in our 10:30 service. This dual purpose for Sunday attendance can also be described as the small group POW, which has a meaningful effect on our lives, relationships, and personal growth, and the large group WOW, where we experience God and His Word with others. All of us who attend CLC, kids who come to our classes, adults who have children, and we as children’s and nursery workers benefit from both.

Because of the significance of the 9:00 Connection time, there is a need for Nursery and Children’s Ministry during this hour. The need is especially great in the nursery and early childhood areas because it is extremely difficult to accomplish the POW when babies and little persons have to attend adult classes with their parents. Signing up to teach the elementary 9:00 class is also important because it is a valuable opportunity to achieve the POW of deeper interacting and learning that we do not have in a larger Children's Church service.  Do not underestimate how valuable your contribution is when you are coming out that extra hour earlier to make an impact on kids and their spiritual development.
