Children's Ministry Mission Statement   

Children’s Ministries at Ashford United Methodist Church affirms the value of all children. We accept each child as a precious gift from God to be included in the whole life of the church. We work in partnership with children, joyously teaching and modeling God’s love from the day of their birth: sharing together in opportunities to experience and to become aware of God’s seeking love as made known in Jesus Christ, so that children may grow in their faith and respond to God’s love with open hearts.
