Children's Pastor
Wayne Nickerson Wayne and Diane Nickerson have been saved for over 30 years. They have experienced leading children's ministry including Children's Church for over 25 years and are dedicated to ministering the gospel to children at their level; a level where they can understand Biblical truth and then apply it to their lives. The ultimate aim is that children grow to know the person of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and become disciples throughout every stage of their lives. This is done through the use of humorous and entertaining puppet skits, dramas, stories, scripture memory games, object lessons, etc. Their prayer is that every child would give their lives to Jesus and follow Him, their whole lives. They look forward to serving your family |
