Spiritual Growth

We recognize our God-given opportunity and responsibility to nurture our children with Bible principles and eternal spiritual values. So their lives and their families can be transformed by the power of God’s Word.

Our primary goal is to cultivate and establish a foundation for a life-transforming experience for children, teenagers, and families involved in this ministry. All with the goal of that transformation spreading to other families and impacting the wider community.
