Under the direction of Barry van Iderstein, the NCC Children and Family Ministries Department equips and supports local church leaders to guide children and families to Jesus and prepare them for His soon return.
The department has been instrumental in strengthening child safety protocols in our entities. It supports children’s Sabbath Schools, Adventurer Clubs, Children’s Church, and VBS programs by providing training and resources. It also sponsors events like the Adventurer Bike Derby and Family Fun Weekends.
Serving children and families, the department addresses spiritual needs through tailored programs. Over 800 children in Adventurer Clubs and nearly a thousand SDA and non-SDA children are impacted by VBS. This department’s initiatives and programs foster safe, faith-filled environments for young believers.
