How are they taught?

On a normal Sunday morning from preschool through grade school you will find …
  • Community Time (Assists in fostering relationship)
  • Large Group Time (Worship, Bible Lab presented & experienced)
  • Small Group Time (Discussion and application of Bible Lesson, prayer)
Community Time is anything from playing a game to seeing who has the same pets as you. We have found that kids need a time to connect with other kids and the leaders in a classroom as part of their spiritual development. So we take having fun very seriously and use the opportunity to make new friends, introduce the bottom line for the day, or practice friendship skills.
Example: What looks like playtime or chaos to you is the same experience you have when you drink coffee with friends. Community- it’s essential to life and spiritual maturity.
Large Group Time is our version of cooperate worship is much like adults have in the Worship Center. This time emphasizes wonder, discovery, and passion in God. Kids will experience times of singing praise to God, praying, and learning how they are part of God’s Big Story as recorded in the Bible. Bible stories are presented and experienced through a variety of means: skits, show and tell, movie clips, object lessons and anything else God brings to us. Our heart is to use anything and everything to help kids connect to God’s love and loving others.

Small Group Time is the place each kids gets the opportunity to share, ask questions, and practice applying the Bible lesson in a small group of 8-10 kids and a leader. Even our youngest kids look forward to this time. It is a safe place to discuss the Bible lesson, issues at school or home, or ask for prayer for a friend. In a large way it is their accountability group. This time is also a place to continue to foster relationship and practically apply the Bible lesson. Whether this happens through games, art, work pages, service project or sharing a snack together; be prepare to be amazed at the depth of these kids and how much they love God and one another.
