The youth and children are a vital part of the life and function of our ministry. The youth and children's departments of MMBC2 strive to create and maintain an environment that is conducive to the growth and maturation of our young members. The supervisors and teachers take a holistic approach to nurturing our youth and children by addressing the total needs of each child. We realize that in order for the child to grow, he or she must feel that they are a valued part of the ministry as well as believe that we are concered with their lives and wellbeing as a whole. Along with Christian education, we also focus on the level at which each child is learning and growing in their secular education. We believe that the children are not the "future" of the church; we believe they are the church.
