Let Shine be your guide as you lead children to . . .
Grow in relationship with Jesus
Through Shine, your children and youth come to walk in the ways of Jesus and be guided by his teachings. In hearing and sharing God’s good news together, their hearts are opened to love Jesus.
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in the land of deep darkness—on them light has shined.
—ISAIAH 9:2
Explore God’s story together
Shine nurtures a growing understanding of the Bible and fosters relationships with God through prayer, worship, and study. As you explore God’s story together, your group will grow as children of God.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.
—ROMANS 12:2
Serve one another
Through Shine, children and youth connect the biblical story to their own lives and express God’s love in tangible ways. As you seek God’s kingdom together, the response is justice, kindness, and humility.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
—MATTHEW 5:16
