3rd-5th Graders are faced with increasingly blatant unbilbical worldviews each and every day. We seek to partner with you as parents in equipping them with God's Word, praying the Gospel remains their "sure and steadfast anchor of the soul" (Hebrews 6:19). Our desire is that they would not only believe in Jesus, but repent of their sins and lovingly follow Him, making wise and biblically formed decisions. We offer a weekly meeting time during the Summer on Wednesdays from 6-8 pm including Bible lessons, games, and snacks. We also have various events throughout the school year such as Dodgeball Nights, Movie Days at the Theater, and Jonomac Apple Orchard.
