Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Matthew 19:14
At Edgewood Presbyterian Church we value children
- We believe that God is the loving Creator of all children.
- We believe that children and parents benefit from a strong Christian Education program and support system.
- We want all children to grow in their faith in Jesus Christ.
- We believe that it is our responsibility to supplement the resources and the means of the child’s family to foster this growth.
