Saying Good-Bye
If your child has a difficult time saying goodbye, you are welcome to join them in the classroom to help with the transition. Often times simply waving a quick good-bye and leaving the classroom is best. Our volunteers will calm the child and reassure them that you will return. We will text you if needed.

Curriculum | The Gospel Project
The Gospel Project is designed to guide kids on a chronological journey through the Bible – from Genesis to Revelation. It tells a single story – the story of Jesus and His mission to seek out and restore lost people to God. The goal is not for kids to know more about God, but instead, it is for them to know Him more. To truly understand the story of salvation is to discover God’s missionary heart. And discovering God’s heart will lead kids to love Him more and embrace his invitation to join in the story by sharing Jesus to the world.
HELPFUL TIPS
Allergies
On certain days of the year we offer a special snack. An allergy alert sign will be placed outside the classroom door on those Sundays. If your child has any food allergies please let your child’s leader know at that time.
