PRE-K<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We recognize that the preschool years are filled with astounding growth and rapid development. We also recognize that this development was created by God. We know that children between birth and six years learn over half of all they will learn in life during these formative years. This is a critical time of foundation building for all that will follow.<\/p>\n

Learning from the Bible<\/h4>\n

Every time young children come to our church, they are taught from the Bible. Pre-K’s hear complete Bible events and related verses in group time. We believe that we have great opportunities to use Bible songs, verses, stories, pictures and related activities with young children to make Bible learning fun and exciting.\u00a0 Class begins each Sunday at 10:00 am.<\/p>\n
