Beacon of Hope Hosts Children’s Day

Story by Keisha Bone

Beacon of Hope church members in Columbus, Ohio, believe perseverance and hard work pays off. From a small church worshipping in a basement to an ever-growing, vibrant bunch in their own space, the group now boasts an active Children’s Ministries Department.

The church has their own children’s choir, which recently graced the stage on their very first Children’s Day.

The department is headed by innovative and passionate leaders who have kept the church and those in the diaspora on the edge of their seats, anticipating more.

Led entirely by the youth of Beacon of Hope, the day was a spectacle with a march to the altar to the theme song “I Know Who I Am” to the very end of the service. All eyes were glued to the children while they displayed their love for Jesus, say attendees.

Beacon of Hope is confident in their church’s future, knowing that the youth can serve in any capacity. They hope to inspire other churches and Children’s Ministries programs to empower more youth for Christ.

Psalm 127:3–5 says, “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them” (NIV).

Beacon of Hope leaders express the desire to continue to build children up in Christ so that God’s work will progress in the years to come. The future of the church depends on young minds and their passion to serve God.
