Pre-K through Kindergarten: Group's Buzz curriculum gives your kids a strong theological framework about who God is. Over two years, children will know and understand eight foundational truths about God-He is loving, perfect, forgiving, faithful, real, giving, powerful, and good. Every quarter focuses on a different attribute of God through a unique, fun theme and age-appropriate Bible lessons. |
 |
1st-4th grade: The Workshop Rotation Model teaches major Bible stories and concepts through kid-friendly multimedia workshops including Art, Drama, Music, Games, A-V, Puppets, Storytelling, Computers, and other educational media. We teach the same Bible story in all of the workshops for four or five weeks rotating kids to different workshops each week. The children develop a lasting memory and understanding of the content through repetition and the creative method approach. |
 |
5th and 6th grade: Group’s Grapple curriculum delivers Bible truth the way your preteens want to hear it. The attention-grabbing Bible lessons prompt your preteens to dig into the Bible to grapple with faith and life issues. They also encourage faith practice with weekly challenges that dare preteens to apply what they’ve learned in simple yet effective ways. |

Occurring on all Sundays except the first Sunday of the month, it begins with a special Children's Sermon in Worship. Pick- up is immediately following the service on the 3rd floor of the main building.
