You love your kids. We know that.
But, spilled milk, temper tantrums, rolled eyes and grunts from their phone-stuck faces leaves you wondering…what’s next? We’re here to help. At Ginghamsburg, we work hard to come alongside you and your family. It takes a village to raise a child. Besides, you need some space to heal. You’ll learn some helpful tools along the way to become the household champion your kids believe you to be. No matter how you come to us, and no matter how you move on – you’ll be loved, regardless.
PARTNERSHIP
Orange
We are strong proponents of the Orange philosophy, which is focused on the church partnering with families. The Church (Yellow) is the light while the Home (Red) is the heart…when those two are combined you get Orange. We believe that the two combined influences make a greater impact than just two individual influences. We are here to walk alongside you and your family no matter what the scenario: spiritually, mentally, physically – we are your village!
The majority of our age-based programs – Kids and Students – utilize Orange curriculum that will allow us to surround your kids with caring adults who want to help point your kids to Jesus. It also allows us to give you – the parent or guardian – tools that will equip you to have meaningful conversations around what is being taught in the programs. One of the primary tools we use is the Parent Cue, which comes out at the beginning of each new series.
Ginghamsburg Preschool
The Ginghamsburg Christian Preschool and Childcare Center provides a Christ-centered atmosphere and staff to foster your child’s spiritual, social, emotional, physical and academic developmental needs with love. We are licensed through the State of Ohio and accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).
Small Groups Leaders
In each of our ministry areas, we utilize caring, safe volunteers who are the first line of ministry. They are the ones who have real, honest conversations each week, and who are committed to helping you disciple your kids. This is so important because none of us can do this parenting thing on our own. We need help. LOTS of help! Allow our awesome volunteers help you on your discipling journey.
ONE-TO-ONE
Ginghamsburg Kids has implemented a ministry program specially designed for kids with individual special/behavioral needs to introduce them to the love of Jesus and make God’s word come alive. Kids are connected with a One-to-One volunteer who will build a relationship and assist them with learning opportunities. Plan your first visit by sending an email to kids@ginghamsburg.org.
