About Children's Ministries...
The mission of the Texico Conference Children's Ministries Department is to draw children into a loving and personal relationship with Christ. Through training, mentoring, and support our volunteers can be better prepared to present Jesus in the way they teach, decorate their rooms, and relate to each child.
