The Mission, Vision, and Ministry of
Children Desiring God

Children Desiring God exists to equip the body of Christ to spread to the next generations a passion for the supremacy of God in all things, for the joy of all peoples through Jesus Christ.

To put it another way, our main mission at CDG is not to sell. Our mission is to spread. In fact, we often discourage people from purchasing anything until they have taken the time to understand the vision that shapes the development of our resources. The following resources will introduce you to Children Desiring God's vision; a bold vision that recovers the Biblical mission for children's ministry.

Foundations for God-Centered Children's Ministry

Pastor David and Sally Michael of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis present the vision and philosophy of ministry that has shaped their parenting, their leadership of children's ministry in the local church.
