Children's Education
Loving people to Jesus by providing a valuable, enriching Bible class experience for our children. 
Our goal is to provide children with a foundation of faith on which they can build their lives:  to teach them Bible basics, how to use their Bibles to study for themselves, who God is, and that God loves them and wants a relationship and a response from them. Ultimately, we would like to instill in them a hunger and thirst for God and His Word.
