WE.....LOVE.....KIDS!

We use core ministry values to determine how we teach our children.

Relational

Our goal is to help children connect with God.  We want them to experience a personal relationship to the Almighty God of the universe.  Community groups help children connect with each other.  DOCC is a place where children can grow spiritually with other believers, where they will have accountability, and receive encouragement in their walk with God.

Application Oriented

We want to answer 3 important questions for children.

1.  Know what?

2.  So what?

3.  Now what?

No only do we want our children to know the stories of the Bible, but we also want them to know how these stories and information impact their lives.  Then, we want to encourage them to use what they have learned in their daily lives.

Safe

Safety is a priority at DOCC.  

Physical safety will be assured though our facility and with our equipment.

All staff and volunteers will have completed a background check.

Emotional safety comes from no child being labeled or treated unkindly.

Spiritual safety comes through encouraging children to ask questions without fear of ridicule and the belief that children hold never be motivated by shame or guilt.

Fun

In all of our teaching and activities, everything will be kid-tageted and age appropriate.  What is fun to a 4 year old is not necessarily fun for a 4th grader.  We want all of our activities to be creative and relevant.
