A Little Child Will Lead Us
A New Faith Based Community Initiative for Watertown Area Children and their Families.
“A Little Child Will Lead Us,” Our Vision is to serve the community as we support parents in their joyful and challenging pursuit of raising their children. We do so by affording opportunities for families to play, learn and grow together in a Child Centered Faith Community of l
oving adults. Most of the adults on our Advisory Team are people who love children, and want to enrich their lives; including educators, parents and students and Grandparents. We understand firsthand how difficult it is to raise children. Our goal is to lighten the load of parental responsibility, by caring for the needs of the young family. OUR CURRENT Ministries:
