Mercy Lane Kids

Nicole Thurman – Kids Ministry Director

My adventure in children’s ministries began at an early age helping my parents as they pastored a home missions church in Silver Creek, NY.

I attended Messiah College where I earned a B.S. in Elementary Education.

I worked in the inner city of Baltimore until I married my husband, Dan in 2000, started our family, and moved back to Mill City, PA. I have been involved in children’s ministry ever since.

We have lead Wednesday kids groups, worked in the nursery, led Vacation Bible Schools and taught Sunday School and Junior Church classes.

My passion for Children’s Ministry comes from the verses found in Matthew 19:14-15 “But Jesus said, “Let the children come to Me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” And He placed His hands on their heads and blessed them before He left.”

My desire is that children know they can come to Jesus; that He has plans and purposes for their lives. I want children and their families to feel encouraged in their development of their faith. I desire for the blessing and favor of God be upon our children.
