Our toddlers’ learn about a month of creation for 7 months, and then spend the next 4 months on a different sense God has given us.  The last month Baby Jesus is taught.  Through song and exploration of the senses, our toddlers are excited to learn and grow into their independent selves, knowing that Jesus loves and created them.

Storytelling – “Tell Me the Story”
Coordinator: Carol Frye
Sunday AM

Through various storytelling techniques, the Bible story is presented in its entirety.

Music & Memory – “Blue Skies and Rainbows”
Co-Coordinators: Cody Paty & Laurie Holcomb
Sunday AM

Through the use of song and music games, our students will memorize the Bible and its concepts.  Our hope is that by the time our students leave 5th grade, they will have 60 plus verses in their heart.

Geography & Culture
Coordinator: Ginger Paty
Sunday AM

Our students will learn the culture of what was happening in the world during the Bible story and also where in the world this story took place.  The students will also use a timeline to help them understand how this particular story fits into the “big picture” of the Bible.

Art, Science, and Cooking – God’s L.A.B. (Learning About Believing)
Coordinator: Stephanie Baker
Wednesday PM

Students will use their hands to cook, create, learn, and experience the Bible story.  Our goal is that through experiences the knowledge of the Bible will stick long after the story is told.

Drama – Live Wires
Coordinator: Blair Gibson
Wednesday PM

Students will renact the Bible story through drama – complete with costumes, lights, and all!  What better way to experience what the characters were feeling and thinking than to actually “walk” and “talk” just what happened!!

Games
Coordinator: Karla Hayes
Wednesday PM

We will be using various games to help the students review the entire Bible story.  Our children that learn through being active will really benefit and enjoy this workshop!


Sunday evenings (6:00 to 7:00PM)

Bible Hour (2 years to 1st grade)
Leaders: Jeremy& Jennie Dodd, Cody Paty, Ann Nelson

Each Sunday night our children play together, sing, read the Bible story, paint the Bible story, and end with prayer requests and prayer.  The reading and prayers are children-led to encourage leadership and growth.

King’s Kids (2nd grade to 5th grade)
Leader: Doug Crum

Each Sunday night our children lift their voices in praise to God and serve by filling communion trays and singing at Nursing Homes once a month.  A Bible story is taught and then reenacted in dramatic form.  The night always ends with a crazy Bible basketball game.

C.H.A.O.S. (we have pics from both the summer and fall ones to put on a slider if you want)

CHAOS is the Japanese symbol for opportunity.  We take the opportunity once a quarter to “mix” things up and create opportunities to learn and reach out.  We begin the evening with a meal and singing.  Then, students learn and rotate throughout stations.  Each night has a theme and the stations are appropriately related to the Bible theme.
