Military Children’s Ministry

About four million people call the U.S. military “home.” This includes over one million children of military and civilian personnel. Within this American subculture, approximately 25 to 35 percent of the people in a given community move every year. Most assignments for people in the U.S. military last a mere two to three years with the end of the assignment possibly bringing a move across the world. Children in this environment must continually adjust and make new friends. One or both parents may leave on deployment or on an unaccompanied assignment for six months to a year. Military life can be difficult for all involved. These children need people in their lives to anchor them in Jesus, the Rock of Ages.

Through Military Children’s Ministry partnerships with chaplains, a Good News Club®  or other CEF ministry is held in a safe place such as a home, school, or other facility in the military neighborhood. Along with chaplain ministry to the community, the ministries provide additional ways to bring the teaching of biblical truth and morality to this neighborhood. While this ministry connects the child and family to others where they live developing a good community spirit, it also assists the chaplain in reaching the children during the week and discipling them in the Word of God.
