GODZONE is a new approach to Sunday School which solidifies First Presbyterian Church of Manasquan's Mission Statement:
"Where Christ's Love Meets Your Life"
We meet this Mission Statement through WORSHIP, EDUCATION, FELLOWSHIP, and SERVICE.
Vision & Mission
We envision a ministry experience at FPCOM where all congregation members - adults and children, youth and elderly - are ONE church family, united by the same philosophies, lessons, and biblical truths. We believe Christian worship, education, service, and fellowship can be the BEST hour of the week for children and adults. Whether in worship, teaching kids, taking a Christian Education class, our experiences at FPCOM can carry each of us throughout the week instead of just sixty minutes on a Sunday.
GODZONE creates a complete and total family ministry experience at First Presbyterian Church by encouraging total commitment through the following exciting opportunities:
- Engaging music in both traditional and contemporary styles that will draw your children in with total involvement.
- Words and common themes are used throughout the Sunday morning experience to instill biblical truths in our hearts and minds that stay with us each day.
- Build upon and reinforce our biblical lessons by using creative teaching techniques including video and drama to teach about how to live the Christian life at home, at school, and at work.
- Use of service project time so we may share our Christian philosophies with others throughout the community and the world.
- Adults and our Junior and Senior High Youth team up together to love and encourage the children, while modeling Jesus. Volunteers serve with great joy and passion, knowing they are influencing the next generation of Christ's followers. This is FPCOM GodZone.
