grades 1-3

Our first, second, and third graders are learning that God loves and cares for them and that God wants their trust and obedience. These truths are easily conveyed through the attention and love of our teachers. Small groups allow the children and teachers to grow in their relationships and together learn about prayer, serving others, and praising God.

It rumbles with excitement, as the kids unearth the core of Christian living, the Bible. The tremors happen each Wednesday night at 6:45 – 8:30 in room 252 with a family-friendly dismissal beginning at 8:00. Children may attend KidzPraise at 5:45 and then come to Shockwave after KidzPraise.Currently, Shockwave is not meeting. It will resume in September.


bible learning plan for first through third grade

First, second, and third graders are just beginning to read, and they’re thrilled to read God’s Word for themselves! That’s why our curriculum focuses on their emerging reading skills. We build a solid foundation in God’s Word by helping children explore stories and verses that they are able to understand and recall. They also begin to learn how to use the Bible, how to locate its books, chapters, and verses.
