Spiritual Focus

Throughout the year, your child gets to know God during our services. As a parent, you are the most significant influence in your child's life. We have provided some age-appropriate spiritual focuses you can teach your child at home. By doing this, you are instilling God's Word in them and making it a priority in their life.

Discovery of God’s Creation

Psalm 127:3 tells us that children are a heritage from the Lord and a reward from our heavenly Father. Watching our babies learn and grow provides one of the world’s most satisfying experiences. Along with this gift comes a responsibility. We are in charge of training our children in how they should go (Proverbs 22:6). We do not want to teach our children about the wonders of the world around us but introduce them to the marvelous Creator who designed it all.

Parent/
Child Engagement

We want to walk alongside you with your student as they navigate their lives. These are resources and tools you can use with them!

Routines

A routine keeps your little one focused on what he needs to do daily, like eat, play, and learn. The more consistently you keep his routine, the more he’ll know what comes next and can prepare for it, developing independence. Daily routines are essential for young children! Make attending church each week and reading Bible stories at home daily a part of your routine.
