Chris and Donna Lovelace are the Children’s ministry directors at Praise.
As the new Director of Children’s Ministry at Praise Assembly, my wife and I wanted to let you know how much we are looking forward to the opportunity to reach out to the kidz in this church, city, county and state. Our goal is to raise up kidz that love God, know the word and are willing to tell others about Jesus Christ.
I have currently been involved in children’s ministry for 4 years. I started out in ministry at South Strand Assembly of God in Murrells Inlet, SC and then moved to Concord first Assembly in Concord, NC. both of these experiences taught me various aspects of Children’s ministry that I look forward to incorporating in our programs here at Praise Assembly. We are ready to experience what God has in store for our kidz at Praise Assembly. We look forward to meeting each of you in the near future
