Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 (NASB)

Clearly Scripture teaches that training children to know and obey God is the basis for pleasing Him and living victoriously in His kingdom. Knowing God and His truths begins with the child’s understanding of sin and his need for a Savior.

We provide classes and activities along with family home support to train children in the way they should go. This partnership creates children who love God and will stand up NOW in a sit-down world.
