Children are lovingly instructed through the Bible curriculum. They study the Bible and explore messages of God’s love, giving them a spiritual foundation through adulthood.

Junior High

Youth in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade builds on the foundation of God’s word to learn about the importance of spiritual growth as they journey through life.
