It is our goal to teach our children how to love and trust God in these important and early years of their lives.  This is done through Chapel on Wednesday's where the preschoolers ages 2 through Pre-K come together for a time of praise and worship and hear Bible stories of how God wants us to live our lives and have a relationship with Him.  Reinforecment of what the children are learning is also done through Bible Circle Time where Pastor Chipo goes to each class on Friday mornings and talks about what we have learned in chapel.  Bible Circle Time also includes singing songs appropiate to the theme.

Every week children are presented with a Bible lesson designed to help them focus on spiritually developmental concepts.  These theme vary from month to month and year to year.  What follows is an example of lessons we have used.  Each week children would be presented with key ideas and a discussion about how to apply that concept to life.  Children are given materials and instructions to take home with them so that parents can reinforce these concepts at home.
