Welcome to this exciting ministry of teaching children to be Keepers of the Faith. We are glad that you are interested in this program for your family. It combines both spiritual and practical skills as a complete unit, since there is really no difference between the secular and the sacred in the daily walk of a Christian. “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” ~1 Corinthians 10:31. The purpose of this ministry is to guide and train young people to walk in the steps of our Lord Jesus Christ, day by day, moment by moment, in every situation. Jesus came to earth to complete the work God had given Him. God also has work for us to do. Men are to preach and teach the Word of God, lead their families, provide for them, and care for them. Women have the work of being helpmeets to their husbands and nurturing their children. Each has a responsibility to be a faithful witness and reach out in love to the needy. It is with joy that we do this work for our Lord, and it is with joy that we teach our children likewise. It is God’s plan as revealed through His Word.
Keepers of the Faith
Clubs are carefully designed programs that provide a solid framework for
establishing and maintaining a Christian learning environment. These programs stress Christian attitudes and
habits while teaching a wide array of practical skills that are often critical
for children who will develop into complete and competent adults. This program will teach and inspire children
toward fulfilling God’s plan for them.
Keepers of the Faith
Clubs provide wholesome, fun-filled learning experiences while building
character. The children learn basic
skills of caring for their immediate environment, such as home care for boys
and homemaking for girls. Hand skills,
crafts and projects are learned by both. Spiritual skills and habits are
developed. Physical fitness is developed
through outdoor activities. Knowledge is
gained through learning about leadership, culture, and nature. Spiritual priorities like Bible reading and
memory work are stressed, and there is also a strong emphasis on meeting the
needs of others. Children learn to make
such traits an integral part of their lives through a number of others-oriented
activities.
Keepers of the Faith
Clubs permit every child to achieve without competing against each other. Success is not dependent on brains, talent or
speed. Hard work, character, and
perseverance are the requirements for achievement in this ministry, as in life. We promote parent-child relationships,
family, and God’s design for a masculine man and a feminine woman. We have a mission from God to teach our
children. Let us minister together to
train them to be strong, godly adults who are independent of the world, and yet
fully dependent on God.
What we do:
The foundation of the clubs
are the Contenders for the Faith and Keepers at Home handbooks, which are the
basis of the skills to be learned to equip our children to be godly men and
women, able to care for their homes and families in their God-given roles.
Meetings consist of Lesson
Time, which will focus on character building and practical Christian
living, and Skill Time, where the children will learn and practice
hands-on skills from the handbooks.
Children will have the
opportunity to earn badges for skill accomplishments as well as for Bible
reading and Bible memory.
