Children’s MinistryEDeN WorSHiP CeNter

Kids are very important to us at EWC! We believe children need to learn at their level. From nursery through 6th grade we teach the Gospel message to them at their age level, by providing several Sunday school classes.

We have a sta� ed nursery for toddlers and babies

as well as classes for children in preschool through sixth grade.

� ere is a nursing mothers’ room with a tv that broadcasts the service so nursing moms can tend to their baby without missing out.

Notes

Statement of Core Beliefs� e bible is the fully inspired Word of God. It is without error and is the supreme and � nal authority for all matters of life and belief. (Matthew 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

� ere is only one true and living God, Creator of heaven and earth, who eternally exists in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - who are equal in every divine perfection, executing distinct but harmonious o� ces in all the work of the Godhead.

(Deutoronomy 6:4; 1 Cornithians 12:4-6; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

Man was created by God in His own image but through his sin inccured physical and spiritual death. As a result, all humanity (Christ excluded) are born with a sinful nature and are sinners by choice. � erefore, they are all under condemnation and without hope apart from salvation in Christ. (Genesis 1:26; Romans 3:22-23, 5:12-21; Ephesians 2:1-3)

Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He was born of a virgin and is both fully God and fully human.

(Luke 1:35; John 1:1-2; Colossians 1:15-20; Hebrews 1:1-3)

� e Gospel is the good news of God’s saving actions towards sinners through Jesus Christ. Namely, that He took on human nature, lived a sinless life, died a substitutionary death for sinners, and physically rose from the dead. (Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 3:18)

Salvation is a free gift that comes only by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ. � ose who repent, forsake sin, and trust in Jesus Christ and His death on their behalf are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and become new creatures. � ey are delivered from condemnation, receiving forgiveness of their sins and the gift of eternal life. (John 3:16; Romans 3:23-24; 2 Corinthians 5:17-19; 1 John 1:9)

Jesus Christ physically ascended into heaven where He perpetually makes intercession for His people and will one day physically and visibly return to earth to establish His kingdom. (Acts 1:9-11; Hebrews 7:25; 1 John 2:1-2; Revelation 1:7)

In the future, there will be bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost. � ose who trust in Jesus Christ alone will be raised to eternal joy, living and reigning with Christ. � ose do not trust in Jesus Christ will be raised to endless punishment.

(Matthew 25:31-46; John 5:28-29; Acts 24:15)
