Elementary (Kindergarten – Fifth 5th Grade)

Our elementary age children (grades K-5) meet in the Youth and Community Life Center building in the “Impact Zone”. Using the “252 Basics” curriculum, our kids experience and own three basic truths modeled by Jesus in Luke 2:52: 1. I need to make the wise choice; 2. I can trust God no matter what; and 3. I should treat others the way I want to be treated. These concepts are taught and reinforced through large group lesson time and small group activity time.
