“Three years ago we made a change in our mid-week Children’s program. We had been with a program for a number of years and felt that we were not getting the best for our children. We made the decision to go with Master Clubs. As a pastor I have been very grateful for making the change. I was told recently by several of our workers in Master Clubs that they were happy we made the change. The material is meeting the needs of our children and they are happy to learn. The workers feel that our children are learning more now than ever. Parents are grateful that we have a strong program for their children on Wednesday night. I highly recommend to all churches the Master Clubs program. I feel confident that our children are given great Bible instruction.” Max Barton, Pastor, People’s Baptist Church, Greenville, North Carolina
“As a pastor, I have to make sure that every area of my church is active, thriving, and growing. Our church provides programs for the teens, the elderly, the handicapped, the deaf, and many other groups of people. It is my opinion the children’s ministry is a neglected area in most churches. Allow me to recommend the Master’s Clubs for your children’s program. This is a sound, Biblical, well-structured program that works and has stood the test of time. You will not be disappointed when you see the children of your church growing and maturing in the Lord because of this great ministry. We use it, and I give it my highest recommendation.” Dr. Norris E. Belcher, Jr., Pastor, Church of the Open Door in Westminster, Maryland
"The Masters Club program has been an incredible blessing to the Gospel Light Baptist Church. We are so excited about what it is doing in the lives of our young people. I currently have two of my own children who are faithfully attending this program each week at Gospel Light and it always amazes me how thrilled they are to be a part of this exciting program each Wednesday night. To me the most impressive part of the program is the amount of Scripture the children memorize and how they mature spiritually every week. It is a God-anointed ministry that our church can endorse unequivocally. I would like to thank Pastor Thomas and Brother Richmond for the great vision God has given them. We are thrilled to be a part of the Master's Club!" Pastor Eric Capaci, Gospel Light Baptist Church in Little Rock, Arkansas
“Master Club is a great blessing to our church. We have witnessed the salvation of many children with ten saved this year. Not only is it good for our children, it provides opportunities of ministry for adults and teens as well. The regional provides our clubbers a time of competition and fellowship with other churches, and is an evaluation of how well we are ministering. Master Club is a great evangelistic and discipleship ministry of our church.” Pastor Tim Daniel, New Testament Baptist Church in Kinston, North Carolina
“Without question, Master Clubs is the finest kids' club program available today. Written and developed by fundamentalists for fundamental Baptist churches, the Master Club program not only places a strong emphasis on Bible memorization, but also trains and equips the children to serve the Lord in their local church. I have seen the finished product: kids who want to serve the Lord. There is no other program like it.” Ed Dunlop, Child Evangelist from Ringold, Georgia
“Master Clubs is a great tool in the lives of the children of Campus Church. The material faithfully prioritizes the importance of memorizing God’s Word, applying it daily, and making it practical by teaching the children to share the gospel with others. Because of its adaptability, the program can easily fit into most church structures and family life-styles. The new books have been a great help and are organized well. Our parents see the benefits of the program and the changes in the lives of their children.” Dr. Neal Jackson, Pastor, Campus Church in Pensacola, Florida
“Just wanted to say thank you for the Master Club Program. We have been using Master Clubs in our church for a little over 5 years. It has given us a great structure to reach our families. The kids are very excited about the program and disappointed when we stop it for the summer! We are expecting great fruit in the days to come with using this program.” Dr. Dan Lamb, Pastor, Hillsboro Bible Baptist Church, Hillsboro, Ohio
“The driving force of Master Club is its philosophy: teaching kids that they can minister at a young age. This alone has ignited ministry in our church. I can say emphatically that we have adults, teens, and children ministering in our church because of the impact Master Clubs has had on their lives. My son Bradley, a third grader, preached his first message at a Master Club Regional Competition, and now he wants to know when he can preach again. My daughter, Summer, is completing her third year as an Ambassador, and she has developed a heart for ministry. She assists my wife, Andrea, in Children’s Church, sings and plays the piano in our church. She also competed at the Regional Competition in piano, Best Presentation of the Gospel, Small Ensemble, Vocal Trio, and many of the team Bible games. Both of my children look forward to Wednesday night and the training that they are receiving.… The proof is in the pudding. Master Clubs works, and the proof is in the thousands of children who are learning how to serve our wonderful Lord at a young age. “As a direct result of Master Clubs, our church’s children’s ministry has quadrupled to over 40. Several families have joined our church and are tithing and giving to faith promise missions (incidentally, the addition of just one tithing family would pay all the expenses of your Master Club for two years without a Dollar Offering.). Our teens have their very own ministry, and now we have kids who have come through Master Club and they are discipling younger children. We have a Young Preacher Boys Club with three boys preparing to preach. No other children’s program that we have been involved with has produced the amazing results in our church like Master Club. Our children are developing a heart for ministry right now, in their elementary years. Please consider Master Clubs for your church; you can’t afford not to!” Paul Milner, Assistant Pastor, New Testament Baptist Church in Kinston, North Carolina
"I am writing to commend you and all your staff at Master Ministries for the very fine Bible club program you provide for local churches like mine. We are nearing the end of our fourth year of Master Clubs and I am well pleased with our results. "For most of the forty years of my pastorate here, Open Bible Baptist Church has had a Wednesday night Bible club ministry for our children. Five years ago it became necessary for our church to find a new club ministry to replace one that no longer held the same standards of ecclesiastical separation that it had previously adhered to. Finding your program was an answer to prayer! When your founder, Brother Abb Thomas, presented it to us, we knew at once that Master Clubs would be a good fit for us. "The flexibility of your program model made the transition easy. We adapted it to the program frame already in place. Parents and workers embraced your curriculum which widened the teaching goal beyond mere Scripture memorization to training our kids for a life-long commitment to Christian disciplines and service. Our kids, from the 3-year-old through the sixth grade, enjoy earning their patches and awards week-to-week. "We begin each club year in September with a Fall Festival (which is like a fair with game booths and prizes) that brings in new kids at the start of the club year. The Sailboat Regatta and the Pine Car Derby are also great favorites with the kids. We make these events family affairs with parents and siblings cheering on their clubbers. Then, we end the year in May with a dinner for the clubbers and their parents. "This past year our junior club workers were thrilled with the changes made to the junior age handbook as it was so much easier for the children to understand and use. Also, this year, we altered our program from two hours to an hour-and-a-half, Once again, the flexibility of the Master Clubs model enabled us to make this change easily." Dr. George W. Riddell III, Pastor, Open Bible Baptist Church in Williamstown, NJ |
