TC Kids (Birth - 5th Grade)

ThornCreek Kids Ministry strives to walk alongside and equip parents to be spiritual leaders in their children’s lives. Our hope and prayer is that with a strong faith foundation, kids will make the decision to continue growing as Christians, and become Christ-like disciples.

Our age-level classes allow us to reach children at their developmental level, so that by God’s grace they will be able to comprehend to the best of their ability, the topics we are covering in church!

All Ministry Partners (over the age of 18) have passed background checks, and all Bridge Team members (6th-12th graders) are supervised by adults.

TC Students (6th - 12th Grade)

ThornCreek Student Ministries mission is to create a safe place for students to encounter Jesus, ask questions, process struggles and to experience the love of God while ultimately integrating them into the body and mission of Jesus Christ.

Leviticus 1:1-3 NLT

Does anybody else notice imperfections?

Leviticus 19:2 NIV

THE BOOK OF LEVITICUS

The PURPOSE of this entire book is: How to worship and walk with God. It’s about a relationship with God.

Before Jesus Christ came into our world….this relationship involved SACRIFICE.This was because of SIN.

Hebrews 9:22 NIV

Leviticus 1:1-10 NLT

WHAT DOES A PERFECT SACRFICE LOOK LIKE?

Unblemished

No defects

Leviticus 22:22-25 NLT

HEAR THIS:

The character of the giver is worth more than the value of the gift.

THIS IS WHAT GOD WANTS...

God wants your heart before your gift.

God wants your obedience before your worship.

God wants your heart before your lip service.

SOMETHING HAPPENED WITH THE ISRAELITES…

Their attitude began to change.

Malachi 1:6-9 NLT

Dont’ give God something that didn’t cost you anything.

There are people who have learned to take advantage of situations. They have learned to work the system and hustle people. This same attitude spills over into their relationship with God. God is just another deal to them.

When you flip to the New Testament, and you see a new sacrifice come into the picture…

John 1:29 NLT

1 Peter 1:18-19 NLT

Jesus was without sin. This made Him uniquely qualified to be our sacrifice for our sins. He was the perfect sacrifice for humanity.

Hebrews 9:13-14 NLT

Romans 12:1-2 NIV

God wants you to be a living sacrifice.
