Meet Them Where They Are


Today’s  kids live in an ever changing and evolving world as it relates to technology and learning styles. We fully recognize that all kids learn in different ways through multiple forms of intelligences. Because of this fact, we find it very important to bring the Word to kids in many different forms, with the belief that one of those forms will meet each kid right where they are.

During any given weekend, we endeavor to reach out to many of the different senses and styles of learning. We have some use of humor to make a point; we use video as another way to share a story. Kids have the opportunity to engage in interactive games that can be connected back to the information we are trying to share. Praise and Worship songs are used during the weekend to point the focus both horizontally and vertically towards the Lord and to solidify the main topic of the weekend. Live action dramas show the story in another way so kids can see an entire story unfold. And of course we go straight to the Bible for direction by sharing what the Bible has to say about a topic and then having a kid relevant short sermon.

We fully recognize that kids learn in different ways and truly set out to give every child the same chance to get it!
