HOLY LAND CARAVAN - learn more . . .

Our Elementary classes (K-4/5) are conducted using a “Workshop Rotation Model” that we call the “Holy Land Caravan” which consists of storytelling, art, cooking, games, and movies. This setup enables our kids to walk through Biblical themes or units in an interactive, multi-sensory setting. Classes meet downstairs in Building C. During the 11:00 a.m. hour on Sundays, our 5th graders benefit from a Bible study especially designed for pre-teens. They enjoy fellowship with their friends, grow in their faith and appreciation of the church.


M&Ms (Music & Missions)

A variety of electives to choose from: Missions (work on service & mission projects; some within our church, but mostly in the community), Handbells, Dance, Band, and other related fun activities.

We meet downstairs in Building C in our movie room.

THIRD GRADE BIBLE FAIR

Our third graders receive Bibles from the church and have a special Bible Fair with their parents. Activities include a special video, games and a scavenger hunt. The Third Graders will then have eight weeks of training in their Sunday School classroom on how to use their new Bibles.
