儿童事工 Children’s Ministry
1. 我们的使命 | Our Mission
华人福音堂儿童事工以圣经为根基、以耶稣基督为中心，盼望在教会与家庭的共同参与下，为孩子提供一个安全、温暖、充满喜乐的成长环境。
我们盼望孩子从小认识神、认识圣经，学习敬畏神、爱神、爱人；认识自己在基督里的身份，明白自己是神所爱的儿女，是耶稣基督的跟随者。我们也盼望通过敬拜、圣经教导、祷告、团契、服事和丰富的活动，帮助孩子在信仰中不断成长，并学习在生活中信靠神、跟随神。
我们相信，儿童的信仰成长不仅发生在课堂里，也发生在家庭和教会彼此同行的过程中。因此，我们重视老师、志愿者和家长之间的合作，一同陪伴孩子认识基督、经历神的爱，并为他们一生跟随主预备道路。
“我们不将这些事向他们的子孙隐瞒，要将耶和华的美德和他的能力，并他奇妙的作为，述说给后代听。” 诗篇 78:4
The Children’s Ministry at Chinese Gospel Church of Massachusetts is Bible-centered and Christ-centered. Through the partnership of the church, teachers, volunteers, and parents, we seek to provide children with a safe, welcoming, and joyful environment where they can grow in faith.
We desire for every child to know God, learn His Word, and understand their identity in Christ—that they are loved by God, children of God, and followers of Jesus. Through Bible teaching, worship, prayer, fellowship, service, and special activities, we seek to help children grow in their faith and learn to trust and follow God in everyday life.
We believe that children’s faith formation happens not only in the classroom, but also through the partnership between church and family. Together, we seek to walk alongside children as they discover God’s love, grow in His Word, and build a lifelong foundation of faith.
“We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.” Psalm 78:4

3. 我们的事工 | Our Ministries
主日学：
主日学以圣经教导为核心，根据不同年龄阶段提供适合孩子的学习内容。我们希望孩子不只是“知道圣经故事”，更能够认识神的话语，并思考圣经如何与自己的生活产生联系。
各班具体时间地点请看每周周报。
儿童敬拜：
我们通过诗歌、祷告和圣经主题，引导孩子学习敬拜神，并帮助他们逐渐建立属于自己的敬拜和祷告生活。我们也鼓励不同年龄的孩子彼此学习、彼此陪伴，在教会群体中一起成长。
Awana 儿童聚会：
周五儿童聚会通过圣经学习、诗歌、游戏、手工和团体活动，让孩子在轻松、喜乐的环境中认识神的话语，并把所学的真理带进生活。
聚会时间：每周五晚 7 :45；教会。
VBS 暑期圣经学校：
VBS通过圣经故事、音乐、游戏、手工和团队活动，让孩子在一个充满喜乐的环境中学习圣经、认识耶稣，也邀请更多家庭认识教会。我们也珍惜青少年和成人同工参与 VBS 的机会，让不同年龄的弟兄姐妹一起服事下一代。
家庭活动与特别聚会：
儿童事工也通过家庭崇拜、节庆活动、家庭聚餐以及其他特别活动，创造孩子、家长和教会彼此连接的机会。我们盼望儿童事工不只是孩子每周来“上课”的地方，而是成为孩子和家庭一起经历教会生活、建立关系、认识基督的地方。

4. 安全与关怀 | A Safe & Caring Environment
我们重视每一个孩子的安全和需要。儿童事工采用 Church Center App 进行 Check-in 和 Check-out，并设有指定出入口，帮助我们建立清楚、完整的儿童出入记录，同时加强与家长之间的沟通。
我们也致力于为孩子提供整洁、有序、温暖的教室环境，让孩子能够安心学习、参与和成长。
在孩子面对行为或人际挑战时，我们不仅关注行为本身，也希望按照圣经的原则帮助孩子学习认识情绪、解决冲突、尊重他人，并在爱与引导中成长。
The safety and well-being of every child are important to us. We use the Church Center App for check-in and check-out and maintain designated entrances and clear communication with parents.
We also seek to provide clean, organized, and welcoming classrooms where children can feel safe, known, and cared for.
When children experience behavioral or social challenges, we seek to respond with biblical principles, patient guidance, conflict-resolution strategies, and communication with parents.
5. 教会与家庭 | Church & Family
孩子的信仰成长需要整个教会一起参与。
我们的儿童事工由老师、助教、志愿者和家长共同服事。我们重视同工之间的祷告、培训、沟通与彼此支持，也希望每一位服事者都能够在服事孩子的过程中经历神的恩典。
同时，我们鼓励家长积极参与孩子的信仰成长。教会的主日学和儿童聚会只是孩子信仰教育的一部分；我们盼望教会与家庭彼此配搭，让孩子在教会和家庭中都能经历神的话语和神的爱。
Children’s spiritual growth is a shared responsibility.
Our ministry is supported by teachers, assistants, volunteers, and parents who serve together. We value prayer, training, communication, and mutual support among our volunteers.
We also encourage parents to actively participate in their children’s faith journey. Sunday School and children’s programs are only one part of a child’s spiritual formation. We hope the church and family can partner together so that children experience God’s Word and His love both at church and at home.
