School Year Hours: 8:45am – 9:45am
Our Discovery Land program is divided into the following classrooms that focus on age appropriate Bible truths:
- Preschool – Kindergarten
- Grades 1 – 3
- Grades 4 – 6
On Sundays in Discovery Land, students enjoy energetic worship, fun and creative hands-on learning, and relevant Bible lessons that introduce them to the Truth of the Bible. We walk the students through the bible every three years and help them apply it to their lives while bringing the Gospel to life. Students leave feeling confident in their faith and prepared to stand firm, no matter what challenges they face.
Preschool and Kindergarten students are introduced to a weekly Bible lesson through a puppet show, worship, interactive hands-on activity and engaging classroom lessons. Our programs will introduce your child to Bible basics and help them understand how much God loves them.
Our school-age classrooms are designed to be a fun, safe, energetic and interactive learning environment. It is our goal to challenge kids to discover the truth of the Bible through hands-on learning experiences that children relate to and remember. We provide weekly take-home family challenges to reinforce each lesson.

LIFT
School Year Hours: Wednesdays 6:15p.m. – 7:35p.m.
L.I.F.T. is a ministry for students in grades 7 – 12 in our teen-oriented youth room. L.I.F.T. is an acronym for Living, Finding, Igniting, and transforming our lives in Jesus Christ. Our desire is to help students come to know Christ and grow in their relationship with him. Join us weekly as we dig into God’s Word, play some crazy games and just enjoy hanging out with one another.
Living – Colossians 2:6-7
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Igniting – Matthew 5:16
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Finding – John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Transforming – Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
