What Is BLAST?
BLAST is a ministry designed to teach children the Word of God to build a strong and healthy relationship with their Lord and Savior. Also, to equip children with the Word of God to disciple others.
- BLAST equips leaders and parents to reach and disciple children with the gospel.
- Educate the world through evangelism and lifelong discipleship.
At the Heart of Our Ministry
At the heart of our ministry is the great connection; combining a highly scriptural focus with one that is highly relational. That means our desire is to relate to the kids on a personal level, helping them feel loved and cared for. But we want those relationships to also be highly scriptural. We want to exemplify God’s love in the way we live our own lives and in our own dependence on His Word. We want to encourage them to become students of the Bible and lifelong disciples.
1 Thes. 2:8 So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.
BLAST Mission and Vision
- Our Vision is to reach and disciple children with the foundation of the Gospel, so they can reach and disciple others with the truth of God.
- Our Mission is to teach children to be a reflection of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To listen to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to guide them. To trust and obey God the Father with all their heart, mind, and spirit.
Matthew 28:19-20 Go [a]therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” [b]Amen.
As believers, we ALL have this mission in common. Christ instructed His followers to make disciples by proclaiming the gospel, and teaching others all that He commanded us.
Light Bearers
Our Light Bearers are going to be children ages three years old through third grade. BLAST exists to help our kids grow in their walk with God by building a strong and healthy relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Through engaging lessons, worship, and hands-on activities, children will be equipped with the word of God so they cannot only live faithfully themselves, but also learn to share and disciple others. Our heart is to raise up the next generation of believers who shine brightly as beacons of light and salt in their homes, schools, and communities.
Light Keepers
Our Light Keepers are the fourth through eighth graders. They will learn by answering questions about God and the Bible, guiding them through this pivotal life stage to grow in Christ's grace. They will also engage in lessons, worship, and hands-on activities.
