Youth Development

Thirty-one percent of young adults without a high school diploma currently live in poverty in the U.S.

Our youth development programs help give kids the learning opportunities they need to grow into successful adults.

 

Giving Kids a Strong Start

"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." (Proverbs 22:6)

   

How We Help Empower Youth

Our character-building programs offer kids the opportunity to benefit from positive adult mentors and engage with their peers in a safe, welcoming environment, while our music programs spark kids' creativity and help them develop valuable and enriching new skills. These programs equip them with the tools they need to succeed and provide a safe, encouraging environment where they can simply be kids. 

Character Building Programs
Our character-building programs offer kids and teens in kindergarten through 12th grade the opportunity to develop strong communication and leadership skills, grow their minds, and explore God's Word, all while having fun and connecting with their peers. The following youth character building programs meet Wednesdays at 6 p.m.:

  • Moonbeams - boys and girls in kindergarten
  • Sunbeams - girls in 1st-5th grades
  • Explorers - boys in 1st-5th grades
